Featuring four bedrooms, including two spacious primary suites, the thoughtfully designed floor plan lives primarily on the main level, making everyday living both effortless and functional.

The adjoining dining area and breakfast bar flow seamlessly to the expansive rear patio, designed for year-round entertaining. Paver walkways wind through the lush grounds, where mature citrus and pear trees create a private, tropical setting that complements the peaceful waterfront backdrop. Offering exceptional privacy, generous outdoor space, and breathtaking views, this Fox Lake retreat is a rare opportunity to enjoy refined lakefront living in Santa Rosa Beach.

Santa Rosa Beach, located between Grayton Beach State Park and Seaside, is a coastal and low-rise Miramar Beach neighborhood with dune-backed shorelines and pine-flatwood trails. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 30A corridor near the County Highway 393 junction, where bike traffic, beach cruisers, and small storefronts set a relaxed, design-forward pace. Architectural cues lean toward coastal cottages and contemporary beach homes with deep porches and metal roofs. Gulf views and rare coastal dune lakes shape daily rhythms, with boardwalks and trailheads threading through scrub and sand. Community pillars include The REP Theatre in Seaside, the open-air E.O. Wilson Park, and the long-running Grayton Beer Company taproom.
