About this home
RARELY DOES A PROPERTY HAVE THIS MUCH WATERFRONT LIFESTYLE IN ONE LOCATION. Welcome to an extraordinary Bethune Beach retreat where you can step from your own waterfront property to the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 200 feet away via the neighborhood beach walkover. Here, boating, beach days, kayaking, fishing, wildlife, and spectacular rocket launches become part of everyday life. This beautifully designed three-story coastal residence takes full advantage of its tranquil lagoon setting, with expansive balconies and decks overlooking the water. Built with concrete block pillars, slab construction, wood and stucco, and impact-resistant windows, the home blends coastal character with quality construction. The third-floor primary suite is a private sanctuary, with sliding glass doors opening to a spacious waterfront balcony. Begin the morning with coffee overlooking the lagoon or unwind in the evening while watching gorgeous sunsets over the marsh. The suite features a wet bar/coffee bar with beverage refrigerator, large walk-in closet, dual vanities, and an oversized walk-in shower. The second level is designed for gathering with family and friends. The living room, dining room, and kitchen all enjoy beautiful water views and flow naturally to the large waterfront deck. It is an inviting setting for dining outdoors, entertaining, morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or watching spectacular rocket launches. The second bedroom also enjoys lagoon views with direct access to the expansive deck, while the third bedroom offers abundant natural light and generous closet space. The ground level offers a welcoming foyer, generous storage, and an oversized laundry/mud room with space for a washer, dryer, full-size refrigerator, and beach and boating gear. Outside, the lifestyle continues. Extensive covered parking accommodates a boat, RV, golf cart, multiple vehicles, and recreational equipment. A covered grilling area, fire pit, and outdoor shower make it easy to come home from the beach or water and continue enjoying the outdoors. From the private dock, launch a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard and explore the navigable saltwater lagoon and waterways toward the Intracoastal Waterway. Watch seabirds pass by, enjoy fishing and boating, or simply relax and take in the changing tidal landscape. For larger boats, a convenient launch is approximately two miles away. Just steps from home, the Atlantic offers sunrise beach walks, surfing, fishing, shelling, tidal pools, and miles of natural shoreline. Nearby Canaveral National Seashore provides preserved beaches, wildlife, fishing, boating, and outdoor recreation. For travel and entertainment, Orlando International Airport, Disney, and Universal are approximately one hour away. Daytona Beach International Airport is approximately 20 minutes away, Orlando Sanford International Airport approximately 40 minutes, and New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport offers another convenient option for private aviation. The property also permits 30-day minimum vacation rentals, offering flexibility for those seeking a personal coastal retreat with potential rental income when the home is not in use. This is more than a waterfront home; it is an opportunity to live the Bethune Beach lifestyle in one of the most natural and pristine locations in Florida.
