        <title>Turn This Garden into Your Dream 30A Beach Home</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
If you are considering a purchase of a dream home along Scenic 30A, check out this opportunity for a perfect pallet at Lot 4 Paradise by the Sea Blvd in Seacrest Beach. This highly privileged location sited between Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach is only an arrow’s shot away from the beautiful shore and ready for your custom-designed dream home





Scenic 30A has become the top destination among the rich and famous, which is not surprising since this route provides an idyllic setting for incredible family beach vacations. High-rise residential towers are not permitted in Walton County, which limits a building’s height to no more than three stories tall. This limits the number of properties available here compared to Panama City Beach towards the east and Destin towards the west, making real estate here a precious commodity. Scenic 30A has many superlatives, including the award-winning crystalline white shoreline and gorgeous jewel-toned gulf waters. The sugar sand beaches are composed of pure white quartz crystals, which were washed down into the gulf from Appalachian mountaintops during the last Ice Age. They were pulverized into this powdery form by wave action and the ever-changing tides for about 12,000 years. The bright white bottom near the coast reflects tiny microscopic green plankton that is illuminated by sunlight. This creates the jeweled water effect, which ranges from a dazzling emerald green for which the coast was named to lime peridot and turquoise. The usual swimming pool clear water has a luminescent quality and actually seems to glow like glittering jewels.





South Walton County is also highly desirable since there are many thousands of acres of coastal woodlands permanently set aside for preservation. There are protected state forests and beach parks, including Topsail Hill Preserve, Grayton Beach State Park, and Deer Lake. The Grayton Beach State Park was recently named one of the most beautiful beaches in America after completing an extensive environmental shore study. These state parks and several other places along 30A are lavished with rare natural treasures known as Coastal Dune Lakes. Such exotic bodies of water are only found in four other locations in the world, including New Zealand, Australia, Madagascar, and the Pacific Northwest. Amber-colored creek-like tributaries meander across the white sandy dunes from the lake into the gulf. These shallow waterways flow in opposite directions related to high tides coming in and the low tides going out. This constant flow creates a magical mixture of artisan spring-fed and salted water. They support a thriving habitat for wildlife, a wide variety of fish, and lots of waterfowl. Many visitors enjoy launching a paddleboard, kayak, or canoe to explore these lovely lakes or try their luck fishing. These coastal dune lakes are just minutes away along the shoreline from this property’s location.





This property is in Paradise by the Sea, a prestigious residential community with magnificent multi-million dollar homes. It is unique due to its parcel size and the fact that it has already received lush tropical landscaping.  The property includes a full quarter acre that encompasses 10,890 square feet. It has a private feel since it is walled-in on one side and bordered by green hedges on the other three sides. The grounds include a lush lawn centered upon a cabana that is ready for a pool This grassy area is meticulously maintained and studded on all four corners with towering palm trees. An additional palm tree is out front, and both ends of the lawn have planted small groves of citrus trees. This large lot has more than enough space to build your own custom-designed dream home. The property’s locale is centered between the upscale alabaster-white Greek-style community of Alys Beach and the enchanting Dutch colonial-designed Village of Rosemary Beach. These captivating destinations are only two minutes away by golf cart or car. They feature wonderful restaurants, friendly bars, and shopping adventures. Rosemary Beach is also known for its fun festivals, outdoor concerts on the village lawn, and unique family amusements. Colorful seasonal firework celebrations are held there on special holidays.





This unique property pallet with 10,890 square feet ready for your dream home is listed at $3,250,000. Currently, there is only one other lot for sale in this community which is listed at $2,950,000. Four smaller lots in Paradise by the Sea sold last year which included the following: $2,930,000 for a property with only 1,743 square feet; $2,020,000 for one with 6,970 square feet; $1,780,000 for 8,290 square feet and $1,600,000 for 5,227 square feet. It should be noted that an opulent newly completed house next door is listed at $9,950,000. It encompasses 5,697 square feet, has six bedrooms, and has an incredibly chic contemporary design. Currently, there are three additional homes for sale in this residential enclave which range in price from $7,499,000 for one with 5,489 square feet up to $10,000,000 for a mansion with 7,587 square feet. Last year, one home sold for $12,800,000, with five bedrooms and encompassed 5,231 square feet.

If you have ever traveled down Scenic 30A, you have probably been awed by this 6,900 square foot architectural masterpiece at 208 Paradise by the Sea, nestled in between Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach, Florida. It has an Aladdin meets Star Wars kind of look, which dovetails Moroccan detailing into a sleek, distinctive contemporary style. It is the kind of home you expect to see featured in the latest edition of Architectural Digest or Ocean Home Magazine and is in a word - Magnificent


 





This sensational icon graces one-half acre of lush tropically landscaped grounds encased by bright white alabaster walls with a fortress-like tower and curved balcony decks that provide panoramic views of the jeweled gulf. 


 





Dual custom-designed cut out metal gates that resemble crown silhouettes offer entry into the stately grounds. An infinity-edge pool cascades down beside a patio with an outdoor kitchen and wet bar for entertaining. A unique door made from exotic African Rosewood and adorned with colored miniature glass portholes provides entry into this lavish home. The foyer has a floating cantilevered spiral staircase with bubbled sea glass infused side panels that soars up three stories to a dome-topped Gathering Room that showcases an opulent vintage Moroccan chandelier. This home also has an elevator for ease of access. 


 


 A dramatic gallery hallway with arching portals along the sides has African Sapele hardwood flooring featuring a chocolate amber color glow created by Italian custom elliptical glass lighting from above. 


 





The adjoining decidedly contemporary open living space includes a dining area, a high-end kitchen, and a circular domed sitting room crowned by another lavish custom Moroccan style chandelier. 


 





The kitchen exemplifies the current state of the arts with imported Bavarian made Bulthaup kitchen appliances, a Gaggenau gas &amp; ceramic cooktop, two Fisher &amp; Pykle dishwashers, three sinks, as well as a custom made Chicago Pizza Oven. 


 





A big extraordinary circular wine cellar with vintage bottles hanging around the walls includes a domed top highlighted by vibrant changing colors of light. One of the gorgeous Guest Bedrooms is on the first floor, two are on the second floor, and the stunning Master Bedroom is on the third floor. 


 





The breathtaking Master Bedroom has a spacious living area and an open staircase that leads up to a round domed sitting area with three portal windows overlooking the gulf. 


 





The spa-like Master Bath includes a giant mosaic-tiled walk-in shower, a sleek Victoria Albert soaking tub, and a double vanity with raised bowls set above a three-inch-thick countertop made from a recycled blend of colorful glass lighted by color changing LEDs. 


 





A staircase leads to the fourth story Media Room that can double as another Guest Suite with a full luxury bath, a giant wall mounted TV, a wet bar with a mini-Subzero and Miele dishwasher, as well as an entire wall of glass doors leading out to an open deck providing 360 degree views of the spectacular surroundings.  


 





This stunning abode also features an automated high-end music sound system with special lighting throughout, a security system, HVAC remote controls, and a three-car garage with an indoor vehicle wash. 


 





An amazing separate Guest House has two bedrooms with luxury en suite baths, a large living area, and a full kitchen with Bulthaup appliances, a Subzero, and a wine cooler.


 


 This 30A home for sale is listed for $14,000,000. For more details and a privileged private appointment to tour this one of a kind home, you may contact our Ocean Reef Real Estate Office at 877-392-6085.
