This home is the kind of place you keep for generations. Sitting on 4+ private acres along the open water of Arnica Bay, this property offers something incredibly hard to find along the Gulf Coast: acreage, privacy, big water views & enough space for everyone. A long wooded driveway leads to the house, where the property opens up to panoramic views across Arnica Bay toward Bear Point. There is a private beach, a boat pier & open water right outside your back door. Built in 2001, the 4,700sq ft raised beach home was made for people to gather. With 9 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, dual primary suites, 2 kitchens & 2 living areas, there is room for multiple families & generations to all be together without feeling on top of one other. The kind of place where weekends turn into traditions, boats are always coming & going, dinner means a full table & everyone knows there is room for one more person. It was meant for birthdays, holidays, weekends, family gatherings & all of the moments in between. And then there is Josephine itself, tucked away & private, but still close to Pirates Cove, the Josephine boat launch, Barber Marina & some of the best boating spots in the area. Across the bay, you can see Bear Point, OSO Grill & Bear Point Marina, giving you a view that feels unique to this part of the coast. With 4+ acres, open-water frontage, a private beach, pier & no HOA, there is a level of flexibility that is so hard to find. The home is a great private family retreat, a multigenerational gathering place, or a vacation rental property. This home has not been renovated into something trendy or overly polished; this is part of what makes it special. What you are buying here is the setting, the space, the water, the privacy, and the chance to make a place like this your own. Properties like this in Josephine don't come up often. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
