Exclusive offering of two properties side by side in Old Florida Beach. Rare even by 30A standards, this legacy property with additional adjacent lot commands one of the most extraordinary settings on the coast, with Draper Lake and the gulf unfolding in a sweeping panorama that rivals any view along our coastline. This residence was designed to honor its remarkable homesite, pairing enduring construction with architecture that feels both stately and deeply connected to the landscape. From the moment of arrival, the experience is defined by elevation, light and an ever-changing backdrop of dune vegetation, lake outfall and open water. Built in 2006, the five-bedroom residence spans over 4,700 square feet of heated and cooled living space and rests on a homesite with an exceptional 245+ feet of combined waterfrontage. Engineered for longevity, the structure is anchored by deep wood pilings and reinforced by substantial retaining walls, a thoughtful response to its elevated coastal setting. A private elevator, whole-home generator, six-zone HVAC system and smart home integration provide a level of comfort and functionality that quietly supports everyday living. The home's Low Country-inspired architecture is expressed through cedar lap siding, a standing seam metal roof, copper-accented railings and expansive Brazilian hardwood decking. Inside, hand-hewn cypress floors, marble surfaces, tongue-and-groove cypress paneling and exposed cypress trusses create a layered interior rich in texture and craftsmanship. The main living, dining and kitchen spaces are crowned by a dramatic Cathedral ceiling with clerestory light, while walls of windows and French doors frame uninterrupted coastal views. The kitchen is both refined and highly functional, anchored by a statement La Cornue range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, custom cabinetry and a well-appointed butler's pantry. The gulf-facing primary suite opens onto a covered porch and features a beautifully detailed bath and built-in wall of mirrored closet doors. Guest suites are treated equally, each with a private bath and many offering direct access to outdoor living areas. Outdoor spaces are designed to complement the setting without competing with it. A private pool tucked behind native vegetation creates a sense of seclusion, while covered porches and elevated decks offer multiple vantage points to take in the view. A private dock and boardwalk extend to Draper Lake, offering effortless access for paddleboarding, kayaking and quiet mornings on the water. Within the gated community, owners enjoy multiple beach walkovers, a community pool and dedicated beach access. With frontage on both a coastal dune lake and the gulf, this is a unique location and elevation along Scenic Highway 30A.

A rare and irreplaceable opportunity in the heart of Blue Mountain Beach, this legacy Gulf-front property has been held by a single family since 1970 and has never before been offered for sale in its 56-year history! With 75 ft of direct Gulf frontage, an elevated at 28.5 ft, grandfathered 5 ft side setbacks, and property rights extending to the mean high water line, it represents the kind of coastal asset investors and builders wait years to secure. Short-term rental friendly and uniquely positioned away from public beach access points, the lot offers enhanced privacy and guest appeal while still enjoying convenient access to all that 30A offers. Just down from where Blue Mountain Road meets the Gulf and Big Redfish Lake, the property sits near spectacular coastal dune lake outflows and a natural buffer between Grayton Beach and Blue Mountain Beach, helping preserve the serene, low-density character of this shoreline and naturally discouraging overcrowding. Tucked on a quiet, low-traffic street, the property is an ideal foundation for a future luxury residence or high-performing vacation rental. The existing Old Florida cinderblock cottage, with a 2022 roof, offers 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, approx. 1,760 sq ft, with a fireplace, and is largely original-an excellent canvas for redevelopment, room for a pool, expanded footprint, and extensive outdoor living, or a complete reimagining into a new Gulf-front estate that maximizes the lot's width, elevation and investment potential!

There is a certain rhythm to life in The Retreat. It is quieter, more deliberate, shaped by architecture, landscape, and the constant presence of the Gulf just beyond the dunes. At 37 East St Lucia, that rhythm becomes part of the everyday. One tier off the water, the home sits in a coveted position that balances privacy with connection, where the beach is close enough to anchor the day but far enough to preserve a sense of calm. Mornings begin softly here. Light filters in from the south, and the walk to the sand feels less like an outing and more like a ritual. The private beach access and proximity to the Beach Club make it easy to move between home and shoreline, often without much thought. It is the kind of place where shoes are optional, schedules loosen, and the architecture frames the landscape rather than competing with it. The home unfolds with intention. Spanning approximately 4,600 square feet, the scale is generous yet restrained, designed for both gathering and retreat. Living spaces open naturally toward the outdoors, where the pool becomes a focal point in the afternoon. Doors slide open, air moves freely, and the boundaries between interior and exterior soften. Evenings settle in gradually, with conversation drifting from the living areas to the terraces and back again. There is a livability to the design that reflects how owners actually use a coastal home. Two primary suites create flexibility for hosting, while the elevator connects each level with ease. Storage is thoughtfully integrated, supporting longer stays and a more permanent presence rather than a purely seasonal visit. Every element feels considered, not just for aesthetics, but for the cadence of daily life by the water. In The Retreat, luxury is defined less by spectacle and more by restraint. Wide setbacks, preserved dunes, and understated architecture create an environment that feels both exclusive and timeless. 37 East St Lucia fits naturally within that context, offering a refined coastal residence where the experience is shaped as much by the setting as by the home itself.
