Property Description

Set in WaterColor's coveted Camp District, directly across from the lily pond and bordered on two sides by forest, this Geoff Chick-designed home offers a rare sense of privacy and serenity in the heart of the community. Camp WaterColor is just a short walk away, while a quick bike or golf cart ride takes you to the WaterColor Beach Club.

Custom-designed for this homesite, the architecture takes full advantage of its natural surroundings. Windows line the sides of the home where the view is nothing but trees, filling the interiors with natural light while preserving a strong sense of seclusion. Soaring ceilings and abundant glass make the home feel open and airy throughout.

The main level unfolds into an expansive living and dining space beneath twelve-foot ceilings, anchored by a striking custom nautical-inspired staircase and a gas fireplace. Rich American walnut floors run throughout, while the generous kitchen features a large island, deep pantry, and wet bar designed for effortless entertaining.

Across three floors, the home offers five bedrooms, four and a half baths, and 3,363 square feet. The second level includes the primary suite, two guest rooms each with an en suite bath, and a spacious landing with additional seating, while the third floor creates a private retreat with two additional bedrooms adjoining an entertainment room.

Balconies overlook the peaceful lily pond, while the rear patio opens to a secluded forested setting with ample room to add a pool. Ownership includes access to WaterColor's exceptional amenities, including ten community pools, the Gulf-front Beach Club, Camp WaterColor and its lazy river, tennis, pickleball, fitness center, the Boathouse on Western Lake, and miles of shaded trails. Seaside and the restaurants and shops of 30A are an easy bike ride away.

Offered furnished and rental-ready, with 2025-26 rental history and forward bookings available upon request.
