Southern

Calling all boaters, fishing enthusiasts and anyone who dreams of living right on the water. This boater's estate is a rare offering comprising two large lots totaling 1.66 acres, a custom three-bed home, and two fully equipped boat docks, each with a boat lift, fresh water and power. Set behind secure gates, the private drive winds beneath a shady canopy of mature live oaks and magnificent pines. It provides room for parking multiple cars, trailers and RVs. There's also a garage with hurricane-rated overhead doors for additional storage and workspace. The two-story home occupies one of two adjacent 85' x 407' lots. The critical fact for boaters is the 170 feet of prime water frontage on Hewitt Bayou. Built in 2019, this custom home was built by legendary home builder Burrell Elliott, well known for his exceptional quality homes in the area. Fully customized, the home nestles on a pristine lot. The fenced rear yard includes a private pool surrounded by a paved terrace and lawned landscaping. The sound of birdsong is the only thing to disturb the serenity. Head down to the two docks which can easily accommodate boats up to 35 feet in length. Each dock has a 12,000-lb. covered boat lift with a cradle. Serviced twice a year, they are in prime condition. One dock has full composite decking, and both have flow-through platforms, making them ideal for swimming, fishing and watersports. As dusk falls, sit on the dock and watch the sunset creep across the sky, reflecting in the still waters. The lower level of the home is concrete block and offers an additional 1,120 square footage to finish out as additional guest bedrooms, living space or a workshop. It is already wired for AC, electrical outlets on many of the forty oversized pilings, and all electrical is four feet or higher. Currently, it has a downstairs bathroom with a cast iron double Kohler sink, built-in storage cabinets and workbenches. Composite stairs and decking lead to the second floor, where a gas grill and a 75-in. TV with cover and sound bar make this an excellent place for inviting friends over for barbecues on the weekend. There's also a large elevator. The kitchen is fully equipped with a Wolf six-burner range with griddle, a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer and an additional full-sized freezer for storing your catch. A Boos custom butcher's block island creates a natural hub for cooking and socializing. A cozy gas fireplace adds a cozy touch to the living room. Customized window shades and double Hunter Douglas door shades include electric remote-controlled shades on the double doors. On a practical note, the property has a whole-home generator and a 300-gallon propane tank, which is serviced twice a year. Two tankless water heaters serve the house. All hardware downstairs is stainless steel, and all windows and doors are cased in. Both AC handlers have Reme Halo UV light air purifiers. Each lot has a well; one is deep water (no rust). All water lines are copper, and there's a full water filtration system upstairs and on the commercial ice machine. The additional vacant lot includes architectural drawings for a second home. All of this, and no HOA to worry about, make this a coveted retreat on the water.
