Overview

Description

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build farther on the Gulf than will likely again be permitted in this area.

Rare opportunity to own a shovel-ready beachfront property in beautiful Port St. Joe, just minutes from Mexico Beach. The property comes with fully approved house plans for a stunning three-story coastal home, including 4,062 sq ft of living space, 1,507 sq ft of covered carport, and 817 sq ft of expansive balconies, along with completed engineering drawings and a Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) approved proceed order. Property highlights include: 1-Beachfront lot with unobstructed Gulf views. 2-FDEP-approved proceed order in place (valid through September 2027). 3-Engineering and architectural plans fully completed. 4-Three living floors wi

Property highlights include: 1-Beachfront lot with unobstructed Gulf views. 2-FDEP-approved proceed order in place (valid through September 2027). 3-Engineering and architectural plans fully completed. 4-Three living floors with an open parking and storage level beneath. 5-Generous balconies designed to capture sunsets, sea breezes, and panoramic water views. 6-Existing plans maximize buildable space on this lot for new-buyer modifications to the existing plan – you have the greatest opportunity to tailor the existing plan or build your own plan within the FDEP-approved footprint. Because all required public notices have already been completed with no objections filed, the buildability of the approved home is further protected—an increasingly rare advantage along this stretch of coastline as new dune construction reshapes future development limits. This is a true turnkey opportunity: bypass years of uncertainty and permitting and move directly toward building an extraordinary beachfront residence in a setting that future buyers simply won't have access to again.
