CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT, SELLER ACCEPTING BACKUP OFFERS. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build farther on the Gulf than will likely again be permitted in this area. With new man-made dune construction now effectively precluding future approvals of this depth, this shovel-ready site offers a level of beachfront access and permanence that simply cannot be replicated. Rare opportunity to own a shovel-ready beachfront property in beautiful Port St. Joe, just minutes from Mexico Beach. The property comes with fully approved house plans for a stunning three-story coastal home, including 4,062 sq ft of living space, 1,507 sq ft of covered carport, and 817 sq ft of expansive balconies, along with completed engineering drawings and a Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) approved proceed order. Property highlights include: 1-Beachfront lot with unobstructed Gulf views. 2-FDEP-approved proceed order in place (valid through September 2027). 3-Engineering and architectural plans fully completed. 4-Three living floors with an open parking and storage level beneath. 5-Generous balconies designed to capture sunsets, sea breezes, and panoramic water views. 6-Existing plans maximize buildable space on this lot for new-buyer modifications to the existing plan - you have the greatest opportunity to tailor the existing plan or build your own plan within the FDEP-approved footprint. Because all required public notices have already been completed with no objections filed, the buildability of the approved home is further protected--an increasingly rare advantage along this stretch of coastline as new dune construction reshapes future development limits. This is a true turnkey opportunity: bypass years of uncertainty and permitting and move directly toward building an extraordinary beachfront residence in a setting that future buyers simply won't have access to again.
