Shhh! This Four Mile Village Home is a Secret Paradise

Defining rustic elegance, this stately home for sale at 285 Twisted Pine Trail in Miramar Beach encompasses 5,860 square feet with six bedrooms. It exemplifies a unique list of superlative amenities that are hardly found anywhere else along Northwest Florida's Emerald Coast - or in the whole world, for that matter!

The Four Mile Village residential enclave itself is a well-kept secret, which is quite surprising since it is tucked away in a beach preserve near Miramar Beach's center - and has a fascinating history. The land was originally used for a top-secret government defense test facility during World War II. They used to fire off the nation's first experimental rockets over the darkness of the Gulf of Mexico, which must have been quite a shock to residents since remote Destin did not even have electricity at that time. Later about 200 acres that contained forests, a precious Coastal Dune Lake that spans across forty acres, and the bright sugary shoreline were deeded as nature preserve to the Sierra Club for assured protection. Four Mile Village is part of the forest shore paradise, which has been virtually untouched forever.

Homeowners who reside in this exclusive enclave enjoy the unique benefit of having a pristine beachfront preserve that includes a total of 230 acres of coastal woodlands, the forty-acre coastal dune lake, and 2,000 linear feet of private shimmering shoreline along the Gulf of Mexico.

This extraordinary home sits on almost three forested acres. It features 300 linear feet of sparkling frontage on the coastal dune lake right in the heart of this massive slice of heaven. Rare exotic lakes of this kind are found hardly anywhere else in the world. They are a true natural treasure providing a habitat that supports an abundant amount of wildlife. A creek-like estuary connects to the Gulf across the sandy dunes creating a magical mixture of salted fresh artisan spring water as tides go in and out. Both fresh and saltwater fish, a cornucopia of waterfowl, along with a variety of plants flourish here.

This home comes with a dock, so you may try your luck fishing or paddle out to explore the scenic beauty. You can often see Great Blue Herons and Snowy White Egrets fishing for food on their own, and deer are often seen meandering across the untouched dunes to eat Sea Oats during tranquil dusk.

This fantastic home was designed to bring the outdoors inside with windows, multiple columned verandas, balconies, and patios that allow you to gaze across the forested lake and seemingly endless sugar sand dunes that roll their way over to the glowing luminescent waters of the jewel-toned Gulf.

It is an exquisite home that was expertly constructed just three years ago using a masterpiece design created by the renowned Geoff Chick architectural group. Meticulous craftsmanship and materials feature handmade chic vintage lighting imported from Murano, Italy, as well as rough-hewn thick Louisiana Cypress flooring, Carrera Marble tiling, and fine white quartz countertops.

A vast, spacious open-concept Great Room includes the living, dining, and Gourmet Kitchen area. Soaring vaulted ceilings with rustic exposed beams and a striking double-sided fireplace highlights the living area.

The state of the art kitchen features walls of floor to ceiling cream-colored custom cabinetry, white quartz countertops, a very long island that doubles as a sitting area to enjoy drinks or hors d'oeuvres.

The kitchen also features an upscale Thermador brushed stainless steel appliances, an individual Wet Bar, a full Butler's Pantry, and an expansive Wine Cellar.

A first-floor den off the living area includes distinctive Pecky Cypress built-in shelving that dovetails into under cabinetry and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Massive full folding retractable glass doors unite the living area with the outdoor entertaining spaces on both sides of the home that lead out to covered verandas and open decks.

An infinity-edge swimming pool with a bubbling hot tub completes this exquisite outdoor living space.

An outdoor kitchen living area beside the pool includes:

• High beamed ceilings.
• A massive gas grill.
• A white quartz-topped bar.
• A big seating area.
• A two-sided fireplace can be seen from the pool.
• A large flat-screen TV for musical entertainment or that "must-see" game.

Each one of the bedrooms includes a lavish luxury ensuite bath and offers a unique experience since the abundance of windows provides picturesque views of the glorious Gulf to the south the lovely lake to the north.

All of the Guest Bedrooms feature these gorgeous heavenly views, and each luxury ensuite bathroom is characterized by intricate custom stone tile work with its own individual design.

A spiral staircase leads to a third story bunk room, which includes a kitchenette bar for added convenience. An elevator also services all three levels of this home.

The spacious Master Suite is a lavish retreat with its own fireplace and a romantic private balcony overlooking the sensational seascape.

The luxurious ensuite Master Bath features double vanities, a dressing table, and white cabinetry for linens and towels.

A wide glass-walled shower with white marble tile, along with a deep soaker tub, both of which overlook the Gulf.

This gracious, hospitable home also features a detached arbor connected to a Carriage House for guests that include a lavish first-floor Game Room with a Kitchenette Wet Bar and a wall-mounted flat-screen TV.

The guest sleeping quarters are upstairs in a large open room with a cathedral ceiling and windows that provide stunning views. It includes built-in bunks, a kitchenette bar, and a full bathroom.

If you ever desire to leave this precious private paradise, you will find that popular restaurants, lively bars, area grocery stores, wine shops, and one of the nation's largest designer discount centers, famously known as the Silver Sands Premium Outlets, are very close by.
