Property Description

Where history, land, and opportunity come together, this extraordinary 72.19-acre Northwest Florida estate has been cherished by the same family for generations. Comprised of four parcels and two residences, this rare offering provides a unique opportunity to restore, preserve, and build upon a property rooted in family history and ready for its next chapter. With approximately 750 feet of paved road frontage, the estate offers convenient access while maintaining its peaceful rural setting. The primary residence features approximately 2,995 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, providing generous living space ready for updates and personalization. A second residence, approximately 1,171 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, offers an opportunity for restoration and could serve as a guest home, caretaker's residence, private space for extended family, or future rental. Just a short walk from the residences, a pond stocked with bass, catfish, and bream offers a peaceful setting for fishing, recreation, and enjoying the outdoors. Several storage buildings provide additional space for equipment, recreational vehicles, farm machinery, or workshop use. One of the estate's most distinctive features is an approximately 120-square-foot underground concrete storm shelter constructed in the mid-1970s. The shelter includes electricity, sink, toilet, deep-well water pump, and provisions for generator connection. A private family cemetery, accompanied by an access easement, is also located on the estate. Beyond the residences, the acreage offers a diverse landscape of mature timber, open pasture, natural springs, and abundant wildlife, including deer and turkey. The land provides opportunities for agriculture, livestock, gardening, equestrian activities, hunting, recreation, or simply enjoying the privacy and freedom that comes with owning a large tract of land. Despite its peaceful country setting, everyday conveniences remain close at hand. The estate is just minutes from town, approximately 13 minutes from Interstate 10. Destin and the white sand beaches of Florida's Emerald Coast are approximately 47 minutes away, Pensacola approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes, and Panama City Beach approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. All improvements are being sold As-Is, giving the next owner the opportunity to restore, renovate, and make the estate their own. With its expansive acreage, unique character, and endless possibilities, this is a property where vision can become reality a place to build something meaningful and make it truly your own.
