Water is the essence of life. Give your family the world of a tropical vacation on a navigable waterway with your marine flotilla ready to whisk you into a world glimpsed by French explores. Nestled on over an acre with more than 100 feet of deep water frontage on the Tchoutacaboutta River, you are on the gateway to miles of water leading to the Gulf Islands. Carroll Ishee, the renowned Gulf Coast builder, influenced by the Mid Century Modern movement and Frank Lloyd Wright designed this house to embrace nature giving one the experience of being a bird perched on a limb viewing old trees, native species, and wildlife living on the edge of a water world. This house is more than bedrooms and baths for each component of the home offers functionality and enduring quality. With walls of windows, movable interior walls, custom reclaimed cedar doors, a recovered Caribbean porch shipped from Haiti, an antique New Orleans brick courtyard, custom cabinetry & shelves and old style Italian Fresco walls, this home offers delightful beauty. The neighborhood borders a 150 acre wildlife preserve with miles of walking trails. Minutes from casinos, restaurants and shopping you don't need to travel far to live in a natural haven. To experience the features of the property, it is like a gift, it must be viewed, walked and opened.
