luxury waterfront houses for sale Destin, United States

Positioned within the exclusive gates of Burnt Pine inside Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, 3258 Burnt Pine Cove presents an extraordinary opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind custom estate in one of the Emerald Coast’s most prestigious and tightly held enclaves. This property is truly a blank canvas. The existing structure offers the ideal foundation for a complete custom transformation, allowing the next owner to reimagine every space with intention and precision. From architectural style and floor plan to finishes and outdoor living design, this is an opportunity to build a legacy residence tailored entirely to your lifestyle. Whether your vision leans toward modern coastal, timeless Mediterranean, or refined transitional, the setting supports something truly special. The homesite itself is the irreplaceable asset. Perfectly positioned to capture unobstructed views of Choctawhatchee Bay, the property enjoys sweeping water vistas that create a constant connection to the natural surroundings. Sunrises shimmer across the bay, evening light reflects off the water, and the sense of openness and tranquility is immediate. In addition to the expansive bay views, the home overlooks the signature 14th hole of the Burnt Pine Golf Course, offering a rare dual perspective of water and championship golf. This unique combination of bay views and golf course frontage creates a setting that is both dynamic and peaceful. The sightlines are protected, the elevation is strong, and the orientation of the structure maximizes natural light throughout the day. It is increasingly rare to find a property that delivers unobstructed bay views paired with this level of privacy and exclusivity. Burnt Pine itself represents the pinnacle of luxury within Sandestin. Residents enjoy gated security, seclusion from the resort’s busier areas, and access to championship golf, private beach access, a full-service marina, tennis, dining, and the expansive amenities that define the Sandestin lifestyle. It is a community known for its architectural quality, estate-sized homesites, and long-term ownership. Opportunities to design and customize a residence with unobstructed Choctawhatchee Bay views in Burnt Pine are limited and becoming increasingly scarce. 3258 Burnt Pine Cove offers the chance to create something entirely your own in a setting that simply cannot be replicated, with protected water views, golf course frontage, and the prestige of one of the most sought-after addresses along the Emerald Coast.

Thoughtfully reimagined and ideally positioned within Sandestin’s Island Green, this residence offers a refined, design-forward approach to living, where luxury, comfort, and wellness are seamlessly integrated. Overlooking the Raven Golf Course, the setting is both private and picturesque, while the interiors reflect a cohesive and elevated design vision. Wide-plank wood flooring, curated lighting, and a reimagined 2nd-story floor plan create a natural flow, balancing openness with a sense of quiet retreat. The kitchen and main living spaces have been tastefully refreshed with updated appliances and refined finishes, seamlessly complemented by updated bathrooms, extensive interior and exterior repainting, and thoughtful enhancements throughout—including improved lighting and the conversion of a second-floor bonus space into a true bedroom. A defining element of the home is its comprehensive investment in wellness and environmental quality. From upgraded HVAC and new ductwork to whole-home dehumidification, advanced air and water filtration, and low-tox materials, every detail has been carefully considered to support a cleaner, more balanced living environment. Outdoors, a heated saltwater pool and spa are complemented by luxury shell stone tile and an integrated sound system, creating a refined, resort-style setting framed by enhanced landscaping and fencing that offers both privacy and peace of mind along the lakefront. Recent capital improvements—including a new metal roof (2025), full exterior repaint, impact-rated entry, and a climate-controlled garage—offer both peace of mind and enduring value. An elevated retreat that not only presents beautifully, but lives exceptionally well within one of Sandestin’s most sought-after golf course enclaves.

The gulf to the south, the sunset to the west. This gated Dune Allen residence was taken to the studs and fully rebuilt, with a renovation exceeding $3 million completed in 2020. Looking out across open water and down the full length of the beach, the home captures a dual exposure that is uncommon along this coast and one that will not change. Every aspect of the home was designed to keep the water in view, with large windows along the western wall carrying the eye toward the west end of the sand, where the sun completes its descent each evening. Inside, the home opens the way a gulf-front residence should, with the main living spaces flowing into one another and out to the water without interruption. Motorized shades run throughout, drawn or lifted at a touch as the day turns, part of an integrated smart home and security system that quietly manages the house in the background. The home absorbs a crowd without strain, with the main level flowing easily from kitchen to gathering room to pool deck, while the five ensuite bedrooms are positioned for privacy and view, four of them looking out toward the gulf. The first of two primary suites occupies the entire upper floor, with a sitting room, a generous walk-in closet, south and west exposures, and a bath with a steam shower, soaking tub, and double vanity. Just off the owner's suite, the office is a room of its own, allowing for the same view down the beach. The second primary sits on the main level and opens onto the pool deck, allowing the home to live entirely on one floor. Above the garage, the fifth bedroom forms a private guest suite with its own wing, a full bath with a zero-entry shower, and a private west-facing porch. At the center of the main floor is a kitchen conceived for use rather than display, where a Thermador range and Sub-Zero refrigeration meet Super Calacatta marble across an island generous enough for gathering, with a built-in breakfast banquette and a EuroCave wine cellar integrated into the surrounding cabinetry. Below, a conditioned garage space expands the home's living areas, while the driveway beyond it offers deep parking behind the gate. Outdoors, more than 2,700 square feet of covered and open living wraps the eastern, southern, and western elevations, composed as a series of distinct rooms in the open air. A heated saltwater pool anchors the composition, a natural gas fire pit faces the gulf, and the beachside deck leads to a private beach path, with an outdoor shower at its foot and storage for a small sailboat, paddleboards, and beach chairs. The renovation included impact- and storm-rated windows and doors throughout, new exterior decking, and six-foot privacy walls enclosing three sides of the property. Major systems have been upgraded since, including a new roof in 2025. Rare on this coast, and rarer still in this condition, it is a gulf-front residence with nothing left to do but live in it.

Perched atop a sugar-white dune in the private, gated enclave of Old Florida Beach, this rare gulf-front lot offers both immediate rental income and long-term development potential. The existing home, spanning only half of the buildable footprint, generates nearly $200,000 in annual rental revenue and comfortably accommodates up to 14 guests. Priced at lot value based on recent sales on the west end of Scenic Highway 30A, this is a compelling opportunity to hold, collect, and plan. The current residence offers classic coastal charm, featuring breezy porches, multiple balconies, and a walkway that leads directly to the shoreline. Inside, the open-concept main floor includes a large living area, dining space for six, and a generous kitchen with wraparound butcher block counters. Two guest rooms with twin queen beds share a hall bath on this level, while upstairs features two additional queen bedrooms with balcony access, a shared bath, and a spacious gulf-facing primary suite. The primary includes its own beachfront balcony, wet bar, and an ensuite with marble-tiled walk-in shower and granite-topped vanities. Beyond the home itself, Old Florida Beach is a coveted low-density community with private beach access, a neighborhood pool, and a dock on Draper Lake — one of the area’s rare coastal dune lakes. From this tranquil location, you’re minutes from Gulf Place, Seaside, Florida, and the Village of Baytowne Wharf, with dining, shops, and entertainment close by. Bring a buyer, builder, or investor ready to envision a future gulf-front masterpiece, while letting the current home pay its way in the meantime.
