An extraordinary waterfront sanctuary awaits at this fully renovated canal-front residence, privately positioned on an estate-sized one-acre homesite in the heart of Santa Rosa Beach. Offering increasingly rare acreage just minutes from Scenic 30A, this property delivers a compelling blend of space, privacy, and waterfront access. Framed by magnolias, grand live oaks, and lush indigenous landscaping, the setting feels serene while remaining close to the sugar-white beaches, dining, and lifestyle amenities that define the area. A private canal dock provides direct water access with a 10,000 pound boat lift. The 3,070-square-foot interior was meticulously renovated in 2022, blending timeless character with modern refinement. New impact windows, HVAC, and roof were just a few items updated. An expansive 600-square-foot enclosed lanai spans the width of the home, thoughtfully oriented to capture peaceful backyard views and extend living spaces year-round. The expansive grounds provide exceptional flexibility, with ample room for a future pool, guest house, carriage house, or additional garage--offering the opportunity to create a true estate compound tailored to your vision. A heated and cooled flex space (not included in the square footage) located behind the garage adds further versatility, ideal as a private office, fitness studio, creative retreat, workshop, or conditioned storage. Remarkable privacy and natural beauty are paired with unmatched convenience, just moments from Grand Boulevard's boutique shopping and dining, Sacred Heart Medical Center, and the best of Scenic 30A. A truly exceptional offering--combining estate-sized acreage, waterfront access, and modern renovation in one of Santa Rosa Beach's most desirable settings. New Roof Installed in 2014.

''Enchanted and picturesque'' describes this fully renovated, canal-front residence located on 1 acre in the heart of Santa Rosa Beach. The sale does not include the vacant .75 acres lot between the house and the bay – see survey. With age old magnolia trees, live oaks, native plantings, and a private canal boat dock, the setting is simply magical. The canal is approximately 3-5 feet deep depending on the season. There is plenty of room for a pool, guest house or extra garage. The 3,070 sq ft interior has been tastefully renovated in compliance with current building code. There is an additional 600 sq ft enclosed lanai that spans the width of the home facing the backyard. The home is located in a preservation zone minutes from the sugar white beaches of South Walton, Grand Boulevard
