Do not let the opportunity to own one of the most spectacular bay front homes in Franklin County and the Forgotten Coast pass you by. Located in the prestigious and quite gated community of Magnolia Bay. Minutes from the gorgeous beaches of St. George Island. A short drive across the bay to the shops, restaurants, and watering holes in Apalachicola. Secluded 1+ acre grounds with low maintenance landscaping, native vegetation, lush native trees (palms, oaks, pines) and a shallow irrigation well. This coastal living retreat is set back from the street maximizing privacy. Unobstructed bay views enhance the peace and serenity of this property. Floor to ceiling windows in the living area overlooking east bay create a bright & open living environment throughout. Meticulously cared for custom built home with examples of master craftsmanship at every turn. Open kitchen, dining, and living areas provide the perfect setting for family get-togethers and day to day living. Tastefully appointed and furnished. In-suite baths and breathtaking bay views from each bedroom. Washer and dryers on each level. Open kitchen with breakfast bar. Elevated boardwalk leads from the screened porch and rear deck to your private dock outfitted with an electric lift. Catch crabs, redfish, trout, flounder, drum, and sheepshead from the dock. Stow your boat when not in use and head out whenever the mood strikes for world class fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, one of the bays, or the river system. Detached two-car garage has a heated/cooled bunk-room often used as a sleeping/play area for children and grands. Abundant wild life, native and migratory song birds and water fowl further enhance the serenity inherent in this special property. There is no better seat on the Forgotten Coast than the living room at 261 Magnolia Bay Drive (see photos for a preview) to view astounding sunsets unfold. What a way to end every day on the bay !
