For boating and outdoor enthusiasts, this location is nothing short of exceptional. Spend your days fishing, clamming, kayaking, or cruising the Intracoastal and beyond.

Offered at $2,800,000, this is a rare opportunity to secure a legacy property in one of the most sought-after waterfront corridors on the Crystal Coast--where history, nature, and coastal luxury converge.
