$1,200,000
An extraordinary waterfront property awaits on the shores of Bayou Grande, where history, distinctive architecture, and an incredible setting come together to create a unique residential compound. Nestled among mature trees in historic Navy Point, this remarkable property sits in the heart of the Cradle of Naval Aviation, where generations of America’s naval aviators have trained in Pensacola for more than a century. At the water’s edge, the sprawling primary residence has a personality all its own. Spanish ranch influences, beautiful brickwork, and a broad waterfront lawn create a setting that feels wonderfully removed from modern-day life. Water views extend along two sides of the property, while established landscaping adds to its timeless Old Florida character. From the patio and lawn, the waterfront becomes part of everyday life—a picturesque backdrop for quiet Sunday afternoons, evening sunsets, and the unforgettable sight and sound of the Blue Angels overhead. Inside, original terrazzo flooring adds to the home’s character. Abundant natural light pours through large, bayou-facing sliding glass doors, opening the interior to beautiful water views. Once reportedly home to a restaurant years ago, the residence retains a character and history that cannot be recreated in new construction. The property includes two mid-century cottages and a separate French Colonial-inspired apartment, added in 2006, giving the grounds a distinctly New Orleans influence. Reclaimed wood originating from the former NAS Pensacola Officers’ Club was incorporated into the apartment. Previously utilized as rental-producing residences, these three additional living spaces offer flexibility for extended family, guests, or income-producing use. Together, the multiple residences, covered parking, expansive grounds, and waterfront setting create an incredible opportunity for a multigenerational family compound, private retreat, or investment property unlike the typical rental.
