New construction opportunities in The Preserve at Inlet Beach don't come along often. This one is worth paying attention to. Currently under construction on Willow Mist Road with an estimated completion of late December 2026, plans and design specifications are available, and finished photography reflects the exact features and finish level buyers can expect. The first floor opens to 10-foot ceilings, European white oak hardwood floors, and cypress accent wood ceilings that set a warm, refined tone throughout. The kitchen is equipped with Thermador appliances, custom cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry, and a pass-through window to the pool deck that makes outdoor entertaining effortless. Slider doors extend the living room directly to the rear porch and pool area. A first-floor bedroom with ensuite bath, a powder bath tucked under the stairs, and a paver driveway with a one-car garage complete the ground level. Gas lanterns and lush landscaping with exterior lighting frame the exterior. Out back, a heated private pool with a sun shelf anchors a fenced backyard with an artificial turf recreation area and a full outdoor kitchen. The pool deck is built for gathering, with direct access from both the living space and the kitchen pass-through window. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms each feature their own ensuite bath, including a primary suite with a vaulted ceiling. Nine-foot ceilings and solid core doors carry the quality found throughout. A second-floor den provides flexible living or work space alongside a dedicated laundry room. Custom fabricated handrails, built-in bunk beds, Delta plumbing fixtures, and pre-wiring for speakers and a security system reflect the attention to detail in every finish. The home is built by Focus Construction, known throughout the 30A corridor for their craftsmanship and attention to finish level. Residents of The Preserve enjoy private lake access, a community pool, and a shared dock on Lake Powell. The pedestrian underpass provides direct access to 30A, putting the Gulf, Rosemary Beach, and Alys Beach within easy reach on foot or by bike. Just steps from 30Avenue, dining includes Amigos, Amici's, Cuvee, Idyll Hounds Proper, and Aja Elevated Asian.
