Within the gates of Draper Lake Coastal Village, this custom-built residence occupies a remarkable position at the tip of a quiet peninsula, where sweeping 270-degree views stretch across the water and surrounding natural landscape. Framed by native vegetation, sculptural scrub oaks and open green space, the setting offers exceptional privacy in one of Scenic Highway 30A's most sought-after coastal communities. Built in 2023, the five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath home was conceived by architect Paul Geary of Atlanta's acclaimed TS Adams Studio, drawing on Craftsman, Creole and coastal influences. Its oyster-gray exterior, layered cedar siding, German-smeared brick and reclaimed cypress detailing reflect a level of architectural thoughtfulness that carries throughout the property. Exposed beams, custom woodwork, mahogany entryways and copper gas lanterns give the home a distinct sense of character. Inside, white oak floors, Venetian plaster and soaring ceilings bring warmth and texture to the living spaces. The great room opens through 10-foot multi-slide doors to the covered porch, pool and spa, drawing the surrounding landscape into everyday living. Outdoors, a heated pool, spa, waterfall and fire feature create a private retreat, while an outdoor kitchen and generous covered porches extend the home's entertaining spaces. The second-floor primary suite opens to a sweeping wraparound porch overlooking the lake. A double boathouse accommodates paddleboards and kayaks, with Draper Lake just steps from the back porch. The property also includes a separate carriage house with private guest accommodations, a kitchenette and flexible media space. Draper Lake, one of Florida's rare coastal dune lakes with a natural outflow to the Gulf, is central to the character of this private, gated, non-rental community. Master-planned by Duany Plater-Zyberk, the team behind Seaside, Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach, Draper Lake Coastal Village draws inspiration from the waterfront villages of the Adirondacks. Its thoughtful planning, native landscape and open green spaces offer a quieter counterpoint to the beach, while keeping the best of 30A within easy reach. The result is a distinctive lakefront residence where considered architecture, exceptional craftsmanship and an extraordinary natural setting come together.
