luxury houses with sea view for sale Destin, United States

This stunning bayfront retreat in the coveted Burnt Pine community was completely reimagined inside and out in 2022 and 2023. Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, a private gated entry opens to an expansive motor court and air-conditioned garage with epoxy floors, extra parking, and golf cart space. Inside, soaring, light-filled spaces unfold beneath a chandelier that rises by lift for effortless care. Chevron-patterned wood floors, John Richard sconces, and interiors curated by Design and Dwell Homes set a tone of timeless luxury.

A formal dining room showcases a 22-foot Venetian-plastered fireplace, masterfully crafted by an artisan trained in Italy, flanked by marble arches and illuminated by a glittering chandelier. Accordion doors open to the family room and second kitchen, appointed with a beverage cooler, hibachi-style cooktop, and folding glass doors to the terrace. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a barbecue station finished in Dekton, a fire pit, new landscaping and pavers, and a boardwalk leading through the fenced yard to the private dock. A screened terrace offers ample space for dining and entertaining around the attractive pool and bubbling spa.

Most homes along this stretch of Grayton Beach play it expected. Whitewashed shiplap, soft coastal palette, the familiar vocabulary of a beach house doing its best impression of the one next door. Sixty-one Auburn does something different. The design intention was coastal industrial, and builder Chris Burch of Grand Bay Construction and architect Chris Stoyles of Archiscapes committed to it completely. Exposed steel beams run the full height of the home, solid and horizontal on the ground floor, shifting to a triangular pattern on the second for a detail that is structural and sculptural at once. Nearly every wall surface is mitered nickel-gap paneling, and ceiling is tongue and groove. The lot is an asset before the front door opens. Auburn Drive carries some of Grayton's oldest cottages, many raised on pilings with views earned over decades. This new construction occupies one of the street's highest natural positions and makes full use of it. The Gulf is visible from the pool deck, the kitchen, the primary balcony and the watchtower. The state park fills the view to the north. The ground floor establishes the register. A marble fireplace anchors the interior while a wet bar island in leathered quartzite handles the social load, flanked by a Sub-Zero wine chiller and a Sub-Zero pebble-ice refrigerator with freezer. Seven-panel nano doors open the south wall onto a gulf-front pool with a floating fire pit and sunning shelves. The summer kitchen adds a 52-inch DCS grill. A first-floor bedroom suite with a multi-head shower, soaking tub and dual vanities functions as a fully self-contained guest level. A flex room converts easily to office, bunk room or gym. The main living floor is where the coastal industrial intention reads most clearly. Triangular steel beams run the ceiling of a kitchen built for real cooking: 48-inch Thermador dual-oven range, Bosch dishwashers, quartzite waterfall counters, under-cabinet lighting and ceilings approaching 12 feet. A steel and glass door leads to the butler's pantry with GE Cafe ovens and a full prep counter. Seven-panel nano doors open to a covered balcony with an outdoor fireplace. A north balcony faces the state park. Elevator services all three primary floors. Above the garage, a self-contained one-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen for extended family. The third floor is built around the primary suite. An angular roofline pitches toward seven nano panels opening to a private gulf balcony, with a painted brick fireplace on the opposite wall. The bath delivers a stone countertop in cream, gray and oxidized orange, cement sink basins, a rain head and multi-body-sprayer shower with shell travertine tile, a freestanding tub within the glass enclosure and a hidden linear drain. The primary closet features full built-ins and a dedicated shoe wall. Two additional gulf-view guest suites complete the floor, each with a full en suite, HVAC-conditioned closets and distinct tile finishes. The watchtower runs on its own HVAC system. A pergola-covered corridor opens east. A porch swing faces the Gulf to the west. It is the kind of space that becomes a habit. Hidden-fastener decking, water hookups at every balcony level, view rail stair system with white oak treads and cable-and-steel handrails, whole-home smart system and surround sound, Moen smart toilets. Five bedrooms, six full baths, one powder bath. Two-car garage.

The Grayton House stands among the most significant homes in Grayton Beach. Rooted in the heart of Grayton Beach, with origins dating to the 1890s and a thoughtful 2022 reconstruction, this storied residence has been reimagined for modern coastal living, with architectural design by Gregory D. Jazayeri, interiors by Tami Owen of Owen Group Interiors, and reconstruction led by Daniel Brock. The result is a rare blend of Grayton history, thoughtful design, and contemporary comfort. Historic materials and architectural elements from the original home were incorporated where appropriate to preserve its character, while the residence was completed with the craftsmanship, comfort, and everyday ease expected in a modern coastal home. What makes the Grayton House especially compelling is the way it lives. Rather than relying on a single defining space, the home unfolds through a series of inviting indoor and outdoor living areas, allowing family and guests to gather naturally, enjoy real space, and move through the day with ease. The layout feels intentional. Primary suites on both living levels, additional bedroom suites, a dedicated bunk room, and a flexible guest wing with the comfort of its own living space and direct access to the pool terrace create a home that accommodates beautifully without feeling formal or forced. Mudroom space, generous storage, laundry on multiple levels, garage areas, elevator access from the garage level, and unusually generous parking for a home with gulf views add the practical ease that makes the home as functional as it is beautiful. Expansive porches extend from bedrooms and common areas, framing immersive views across native dunes, coastal vegetation, and the gulf beyond. These outdoor spaces feel less like balconies and more like open-air rooms, creating a natural connection between the home and its setting at Grayton Beach. At the heart of the outdoor experience, the pool terrace, outdoor kitchen, dining area, and fireplace create a natural place to land after the beach and continue into the evening. Inside, layered living spaces, a beautifully appointed kitchen, a wet bar, and multiple areas for gathering allow the home to host with ease. Rich in history yet thoroughly current in execution, The Grayton House offers something increasingly difficult to recreate in Grayton Beach. It is a meaningful historic residence with the comfort, character, scale, views, and livability of a modern coastal home.

Timeless Grayton Beach character meets thoughtful modern renovation in this rare dual-residence offering just steps from Western Lake, the shoreline, and the heart of one of 30A’s most storied beach villages. Originally built in 1970 and extensively reimagined, the property pairs a gracious main home with a fully detached private cottage, creating flexibility for hosting, multigenerational living, or income potential without sacrificing privacy or charm. The main residence spans approximately 2,910 square feet with five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths across three levels. Recent updates include a fully redesigned kitchen, renovated bathrooms, fresh interior paint, new flooring, updated wiring and plumbing, two HVAC systems, new appliances, and a new roof. From the inviting front porch, morning coffee is enjoyed with tranquil views toward Western Lake. Inside, the first floor opens to a generous living and dining area that flows seamlessly into the kitchen, which offers ample space for an island and connects to a comfortable sitting or game room. A mudroom off the kitchen adds a half bath, a full-sized laundry, and direct access to the side yard for grilling. Two first-floor bedrooms feature updated ensuite baths, while a rear hallway leads directly to the backyard. Upstairs, the second level offers two additional bedrooms and two full baths. The third floor serves as a flexible retreat or bedroom, highlighted by a striking wood A-frame ceiling with access to the large balcony. The detached cottage provides approximately 560 square feet with one bedroom, one full bath, a family room, a full kitchen, a laundry room, an outdoor shower, and a separate entrance. With a new roof and alley access, the cottage allows easy movement to the beach, lake, and dining while remaining discreetly set apart from the main home. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a spacious backyard ready for relaxed afternoons, a newly added private pool, curated hardscape, and lush landscaping. After a day on the water, rinse off at the outdoor shower or unwind in one of several private seating areas. Parking is generous with a paver driveway, additional front parking, and two rear spaces for a total of seven. Accessibility has been carefully considered with a ramp on the north side and a fully accessible first floor, including the primary bath. Both residences may be rented separately or together, offering exceptional versatility. Positioned moments from Western Lake, two beach accesses, and iconic spots like The Red Bar, Chiringo, and AJ’s Grayton Beach, this is a rare opportunity to own a true Grayton Beach classic where coastal history, modern updates, and an unbeatable walkable setting come together with ease.

Set on a rare 6.8-acre point along Lagrange Bayou, this offering is unlike anything else on the market in Freeport — an unmatched combination of 725 feet of waterfront, two single-family homes, a versatile third structure, and three private docks, all positioned to capture the best sunset views on the water. Perched on the point, this property is oriented to soak in panoramic water views across the bayou and into Choctawhatchee Bay, with front-row seats to some of the most spectacular sunsets in the area. Wildlife is part of everyday life here — herons wading the shallows, dolphins gliding past the docks, and eagles, osprey, and deer moving through the property's wooded acreage. It's the kind of natural beauty and privacy that simply isn't replicated on parcels of this scale so close to the water. The beautifully updated main residence offers a single-level, split-plan layout with 3 bedrooms, cathedral ceilings, and a wall of windows framing the water and sunset views. Finishes throughout reflect no expense spared: custom walnut cabinetry, quartzite countertops, hardwood flooring, and hurricane-rated doors and windows. The covered cumaru deck on the south side is the perfect perch for dining or relaxing, with sweeping bayou and bay views and steady breezes off the water even in summer. A true multi-family or income-generating asset, the second home features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a large galley kitchen with hickory cabinets and natural stone countertops, and a two-story layout that feels like its own private retreat. Upstairs offers a bedroom suite with en-suite bath and a library; downstairs opens to panoramic water views and a fireplace for cooler months. Covered parking is also located here. Currently used as a workshop, this flexible space includes a sleeping loft and full bathroom — ready to become an additional guest suite, private office, or personal getaway. Beyond the seawall, three private docks with open boathouses, boat lifts, and catwalks are already in place. Just bring your boat or jet skis. With this much wooded acreage, waterfront, and privacy rarely — if ever — available together in Freeport, the next owner has the rare chance to preserve this sanctuary as-is, add personal structures, or explore development potential on one of the most significant homesites the area has ever seen.
