36 E Saint Lucia Lane

Sitting atop Blue Mountain Beach overlooking white sand coastal dunes, this beachfront home reflects the prestige of 30A’s most desirable community, The Retreat. Deeded to water’s edge, meticulous construction, "smart home” features, and year-round outdoor living make this an exceptional opportunity. South facing, this one-of-a-kind home offers uninterrupted 180-degree views to Destin and Panama City Beach. 

These reasons, paired with a multi-phase marketing strategy allowed 36 East St. Lucia Lane to enter escrow in less than 30 days, marks the first property on the west side of 30A above $10,000,000 to go under contract and close in 2024.

When the seller’s purchased the remarkable property in 2021 after only 39 days on market, they knew they wanted to enhance the home in ways that would further unite the property with the beauty of The Retreat. Receiving a full exterior repaint, adjusting the facade to a softer coastal shade proved beneficial not only in the enjoyment of the home, but also in its overall desirability when placed onto the market for sale. Additional attention to detail was made to the interior to update choice furnishings, bring in a design team to restage the home, and enhance the outdoor livability of the expansive property. 

A full outdoor living renovation was carried out by the talented team at Gulfview Construction, adding a summer kitchen, expansive al fresco dining space and a commercial grade mechanical vent pergola to provide both exposure and reprieve from the elements for year-round enjoyment. 

This refreshed offering checked nearly all of the boxes for the buyer, providing a spacious Gulf-front generational retreat in an ultra private setting, perfect for years of enjoyment for their family. 

Successfully closing for $12,700,000, the sale represents a reestablishment of the value that is offered on the West end of 30A, specifically directly on the Gulf of Mexico and is a strong indicator of the market as we move into the summer season here along the Emerald Coast.
