Welcome to Emerald Coast Waterfront Estate
As the light rises over Jones Bayou, the stillness is broken only by the quiet movement of boats heading out toward the Choctawhatchee Bay just minutes away. Set within the gates of Kelly Plantation, one of Destin's most established private Golf and Waterfront communities, life unfolds with a natural rhythm: a morning round of golf, afternoon boating on the Bay, and evenings on the beach along the Gulf of Mexico/America, all just a golf cart ride away.
Completed in 2024 and never occupied, this newly built coastal modern estate offers over 6,651 square feet of interior living, with six bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths designed for both scale and ease. Expansive living spaces open seamlessly to the outdoors, while walls of glass frame the Bayou from nearly every vantage point, creating a constant connection to the water and sunsets.
What truly elevates this Estate is the sheer rarity of its land, a combination of scale, deep-water access, and absolute seclusion that is virtually impossible to find inside a premier gated community. Positioned on a sprawling parcel of more than an acre, the property commands an exceptional 520 feet of secure deep-water frontage on Jones Bayou. This massive linear footprint delivers a profound level of privacy and a double layer of security that is uniquely hard to replicate. Tailored specifically for high-capacity vessels and boating enthusiasts who prioritize time on the water without compromise, a private 120-foot dock extends directly into the protected waters, offering immediate, unrestricted navigation to the open Bay.
Beyond your private gates, the Kelly Plantation community delivers an unparalleled lifestyle, granting residents access to an owner's clubhouse and pool, a fitness center, sports courts, a dog park, and scenic nature trails. For effortless daily dining, the acclaimed club restaurant is just a quick golf cart ride away. While the Fred Couples designed championship golf course frames the backdrop of the neighborhood, course access remains distinct to preserve ultimate exclusivity; residents can play as a guest with limited access or choose from two elite membership tiers available upon request.
This is not simply a Waterfront Estate; it is a fully realized retreat, designed to be lived in effortlessly from the very first day.
