True, beach houses are plentiful in Florida.

But this nearly 7,000-square-foot retreat in Santa Rosa Beach, FL, is exceptional.

Nestled on the coast, the property boasts 75 feet of linear frontage along the Gulf of Mexico and offers panoramic water views. Located near the famed scenic route 30A, the estate is large for the region—with a price tag to match.

Built in 2022, the new construction hit the market in December for $18,950,000.

The place comes with lots of space to host family or friends—eight bedrooms and nine baths, to be exact. There’s also abundant room to stash visitors’ vehicles, thanks to the three-car garage and private parking court.

“Parking is a premium [in the area],” says Luke Andrews, who is co-listing the property with Jonathan Spears and Spears Group/Compass. “I can fit eight cars in the driveway easily and three cars in the garage.”

Andrews notes that privacy is another of the property’s perks.

“It has its own gated entrance,” he says. “Most of your lots are not big enough to accommodate a private entrance. It’s pretty rare for 30A.”

The sellers commissioned the home’s design by local architect Matt Savoie, and it was completed in 2022. After relocating and making this their primary residence, the owners are now moving on.

An outdoor kitchen, pool, and spa are situated on the beach-facing side of the property. The living room beckons with a wet bar to enjoy while entertaining or just relaxing with a cocktail.

The lot also includes a carriage house with a full kitchen and laundry facilities, perfect for housing guests.

Another rare aspect: the durable, all-concrete construction.

“To move this home, you’d have to dynamite it away,” Spears says.

Across the street is the Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club. With protected land and strict building codes, the area is a longtime popular and low-key vacation spot.

“Post-Covid, we’ve seen this massive rise in primary occupants,” Spears says. “It’s mostly built out. There are no high rises. It’s a different beach vibe than the rest of Florida.”

The target buyer is likely someone who has a large family and wants to host them at this sprawling estate.

“These homes are developed as multigenerational legacy homes,” Spears says.
