Set behind a private gated entry, this exceptional 1.47-acre property on Hewett Bayou offers over 200 feet of pristine bay frontage, delivering direct deep-water access and an unrivaled waterfront lifestyle. With no HOA restrictions and the flexibility of a rare double lot, this property is ideal for boaters, nature lovers, and those seeking space and serenity along the coast. One of the last west-facing, deep-water opportunities available on the Choctawhatchee Bay, the homesite captures breathtaking sunset views across open water--an increasingly rare chance to secure a premier waterfront setting with both privacy and navigable depth. The property is thoughtfully improved with an exceptional marine infrastructure designed for both performance and longevity. The expansive dock features composite decking, a lower flow-through platform, two boat lifts, and a covered boathouse capable of accommodating vessels over 30 feet. A durable vinyl sheet seawall, reinforced with substantial riprap, provides long-term shoreline stability and protection for decades to come. The expansive grounds offer endless possibilities for a custom main residence, pool, and guest quarters, all positioned to take full advantage of sweeping water views and coastal breezes. Whether casting a line from the dock, kayaking at sunrise, or enjoying the abundant wildlife, life here moves to the natural rhythm of the bay. A charming two-bedroom, two-bath carriage house currently occupies the property with an expansive screened in outdoor living space-ideal for immediate enjoyment or as a comfortable retreat while you plan your vision for a future estate. This is more than a property--it is a rare opportunity to create a legacy waterfront compound on one of the Choctawhatchee Bay's most desirable west-facing, deep-water homesites.
