Rarely available! This coastal contemporary masterpiece sits on 18,000 square feet of prime bayfront on St. Armands Key.

The serene master retreat, with an expansive terrace, offers dramatic views of the pool and bay, where each sunrise unfolds like a masterpiece, inviting tranquility and inspiration. Two additional guest suites, each with private terraces, and a third suite with a built-in Murphy bed, provide ample comfort and privacy. Outside, a two-tiered stone deck, saltwater pool, firepit, and verdant landscaping are perfect for entertaining or tranquil al fresco dining.
