Set along a rare 100' x 210' oceanfront homesite & located less than one mile from the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, this exceptional Coastal European estate, masterfully rebuilt & new structures added by McAneny Builders in 2020, blends timeless architecture with a relaxed West Indies influence. The nearly 7,500 square feet of newly designed impeccable living space offers extraordinary depth of beachfront ground & lives like new construction.
Constructed of concrete block and thoughtfully designed with wide casement windows throughout, the residence unfolds as a true compound--featuring a main house, a private guest retreat above the three-car tandem garage, and a beautifully integrated secondary living wing, all connected through interior corridors and a charming courtyard.
The guest retreat above the garage offers a fully self-contained living experience, complete with a living room, kitchenette, spacious bedroom with king bed and built-in bunks, a full bath, and ocean views. The garage itself is designed with coastal living in mind, featuring a side entry with built-ins for beach essentials, a dedicated washer and dryer, and an ice machine for effortless entertaining.
At the heart of the home, a private courtyard pool is surrounded by expansive covered terraces, creating a resort-style setting for year-round enjoyment. A separate living wing opens seamlessly to the outdoors through stacking doors and features a full secondary kitchen with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, dining area, and family room--all finished with rich stone flooring. The upper level of this wing includes a custom bunk room with three queen built-in bunks (with trundles), an additional oceanview guest suite, ensuite baths with bespoke tilework, a secondary laundry room, and extensive custom millwork, drapery, and designer finishes throughout.
The main residence is equally impressive, anchored by a warm and inviting den with pecky cypress ceiling detail, opening to an oceanfront covered lanai with tongue-and-groove ceilings, a statement fireplace, and sweeping views of the Atlantic. The outdoor living experience continues with an oversized spa, multiple covered terraces, and a deep, private backyard finished with salt-tolerant paspalum grass.
The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring marble countertops with mitered edge detailing, a custom island, bespoke cabinetry with high-gloss finishes and wire mesh accents, and a suite of top-tier appliances including a custom Italian Bertazzoni gas range, double ovens, dual refrigerators and freezers, dual dishwashers, and an expansive wine cooler. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the main living area, highlighted by a custom limestone fireplace, wood beam ceiling details, and panoramic ocean views.
One of the home's most distinctive architectural moments is the original turret-style entry hall, defined by floor-to-ceiling windows and a custom winding staircase leading to a private guest suite and the primary retreat.
The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, featuring a private oceanfront balcony with louvered sliding plantation shutters, dual bathrooms, and expansive custom dressing rooms rivaling luxury boutiques. The spa-inspired bath includes marble finishes, a steam shower, and a separate soaking tub set beneath a Venetian plaster barrel ceiling. A private wellness space completes the retreat, offering a gym with pecky cypress vaulted ceilings, cork flooring, sauna, cold plunge, and an additional balcony.
Throughout the home, the level of finish is exceptional--featuring Venetian plaster walls, marble surfaces, wide-plank wood flooring, custom millwork, designer lighting, and integrated Lutron systems. The property has been meticulously maintained and reflects a standard of craftsmanship rarely found.
Outdoor enhancements include a heated pool with chiller, new Ipe dune walkover and decking, numerous covered entertaining spaces, and direct beach access--creating a true resort-like environment.
This is a one-of-a-kind oceanfront estate, combining architectural character, modern luxury, and an unparalleled coastal setting into a truly exceptional offering. This home is being sold fully furnished excluding some pieces, excludes foyer chandelier and excluding all art.
