Unique Modern Coastal Oasis in Zone X - Solar, Central Corner Lot(s), & Rare Infrastructure!

Experience the perfect blend of quiet country living, modern high-efficiency, and custom finishes on Florida's pristine Forgotten Coast. Located in the peaceful neighborhood of Magnolia Ridge Estates in Eastpoint, this two-bedroom, two-bath property sits on a premium, highly accessible cleared corner lot right off the main drive (Ridgecrest Parkway).

THE LOCATION & LOTS

Enjoy a commanding, open presence in the center of the neighborhood. The home sits on a cleared, level, grassy 0.35-acre corner lot accented by mature Queen and Pindo palm trees with fruit-producing loquats lining the driveway. For space to expand, the adjacent, buildable 0.35-acre corner lot is also available (at additional cost) giving you a contiguous 0.7-acre double corner estate that has already been professionally cleared and de-rooted, weeded extensively, and nurtured native grasses for 8 years.

You're minutes from the sugary sands of St. George Island, historic downtown Apalachicola, the Apalachicola River, the Carrabelle marina, several public boat launches, and the expansive Tate's Hell State Forest. A paradise for boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, hunting, or just enjoying the surf, sand, glowing sunsets, and the ocean breeze. The neighborhood also includes wide, paved sidewalks for safe walking off the roadways.


This home features high-value, cost-saving infrastructure rare for coastal Florida:

Zone X Flood Designation: Sited in the region's optimal flood zone. Flood insurance is NOT required, saving thousands annually.

Solar Powered + EV Ready: The 7.2KW grid-tied solar array covers the energy needs of full-time living and includes a 20A 240V EV charging connection in the carport.

Rare City Sewer Connection: Avoid the high-maintenance septic systems common to the area. Because of the high water table, neighboring homes often possess unsightly, above-ground "septic mounds." This home enjoys a flat, beautiful lawn.

Private, direct postal delivery is available here--no need to use the communal neighborhood boxes.

New A/C Compressor in 2024.


INTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS

Airy & Bright Living: 9-foot ceilings run throughout, opening into a massive great room with dramatic vaulted ceiling and premium motorized blinds on the high accent windows. The volumetric space in the interior is dramatic.

Chef's Kitchen: Central island, custom cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry, and solid granite countertops (carried beautifully into both bathrooms).

Bedrooms: Both spacious bedrooms feature their own walk-in closets for maximum storage.

EXTERIOR, PARKING & STORAGE
A vast concrete apron surrounds the home, with a paved driveway leading to a heavy-duty, covered steel carport. Next to the house sits a premium 12'x10' Graceland shed. Ample storage area is also present in the attic space.

Cap off your days relaxing on the covered porch, positioned perfectly for beautiful coastal sunsets.

Furnishings: Optional / Negotiable for a fully turnkey purchase.
