Property Description
Forest Shores Drive is located on the Navarre, FL county line, and this 2.05-acre waterfront estate blends privacy, luxury, and endless possibilities. With no HOA and space to add a guest house or create whatever fits your vision (always verify your plans with the county), this property is a rare opportunity on the water. Arrive down a 700-foot private driveway to sweeping panoramic views and your own sandy beach. A covered boat slip and jet ski slip provide instant access to Navarre Beach, just minutes away by boat or car, and a quick cruise to Destin's Crab Island and waterfront dining. Inside, soaring 19-foot ceilings and a grand foyer set the tone. A loft overlooks the open living space, centered by a double-sided fireplace that connects to the chef's kitchen. The kitchen features updated cabinetry, an oversized island, and wet bar designed for entertaining. Retreat to the primary suite with private balcony, cozy fireplace, and a spa-style bath featuring double vanities, whirlpool tub, large stand-up shower, and laundry chute. Three bedrooms showcase waterfront views, with the second bedroom also enjoying its own balcony. The expansive 35.8 x 26.4 bonus room offers both inside and outside access, a full bath, and storage. It's the perfect gathering space after a day on the waterwhether boating, swimming, or lounging by the pool. Conveniently, an exterior shower is located at the stairway leading to the bonus room so everyone can rinse off before coming inside. Outdoor living takes center stage with a covered kitchen and lounge, a heated saltwater gunite pool with smart controls and spillover spa, and a concrete pad for RV, trailer, or boat storage. Furniture is negotiable, and short-term rentals are allowed. Minutes to Navarre Beach and Hurlburt AFB, and centrally located to Destin, Fort Walton Beach, and Pensacola, this estate offers both seclusion and convenience.
