The builder, a retired oceanographer and meteorologist who served in Antarctica with international science expeditions, brought many unique touches to the construction. The meticulously crafted, Japanese-style home is a true gem nestled along The Forgotten Coast on a double canal lot. It is detailed with cedar, cypress, and heart pine and positioned to harness nature’s beauty and breezes throughout the year. The home features a screened wrap-around porch that overlooks the canal, offering a serene view and the soothing sounds of whispering pine trees that provide a natural buffer from neighbors.
