There are only a handful of places in the world where coastal dune lakes exist; even fewer offer the opportunity to live on the shores of one. Here, that rare setting is paired with something equally coveted on Scenic Highway 30A: the privacy of a gated community where short-term rentals… Read More are not permitted. With 33 South Branch Road currently the only home available in Draper Lake Coastal Village, opportunities to own within this private enclave are exceptionally limited. Set overlooking Draper Lake, this Geoff Chick-designed residence brings together architecture, water, and nature in an extraordinary setting. Built in 2023, the five-bedroom, four-full-and-two-half bath home spans 3,330 square feet, with lake views woven throughout its indoor and outdoor living spaces. At the heart of the home, a Euro-Wall opens the kitchen and living area to a screened porch overlooking Draper Lake, creating a seamless connection between the interiors and the natural setting. A fireplace and Bromic heater make the porch an inviting gathering space throughout the seasons, while just beyond, the private heated and chilled pool offers beautiful views across the lake. On the level below, a full summer kitchen creates an additional space for outdoor entertaining. The primary suite connects to the landscape, opening to a private porch overlooking the lake. Complete with a fireplace, this secluded retreat offers a peaceful setting framed by the lake's quiet beauty. Inside, thoughtful craftsmanship and elevated finishes continue throughout, with pecky cypress ceilings, hardwood floors and three fireplaces. The kitchen is designed equally for everyday living and entertaining, anchored by a 48-in. Sub-Zero refrigerator and 48-in. dual-fuel Wolf range, while a butler's pantry with wine cooler provides additional prep and storage space. An oversized one-car garage, smart-home technology, whole-house audio and a generator add another level of comfort and convenience. Yet what distinguishes this home most is the setting itself. Draper Lake is one of South Walton's rare coastal dune lakes, an internationally rare natural phenomenon found in only a few places worldwide. Here, the lake is not simply a view from the home. It becomes part of daily life. Draper Lake Coastal Village encompasses 40 acres of residences, protected green space and winding trails thoughtfully designed around the lake. Inspired by Adirondack Great Camps and historic lakefront retreats, and planned by the town planners behind Seaside, Florida, and Rosemary and Alys Beaches, the community offers two boathouses with watercraft storage and lake access, two community pools, and protected pedestrian access along the shoreline. Here, there is no need to choose between lake and beach. The Gulf of Mexico is just moments away, with the private owners' beach cabana near Gulfview Heights Regional Beach Access offering dedicated parking, restrooms and an outdoor shower. Paddle Draper Lake in the morning. Spend the afternoon along the gulf. Return home to the pool, open the Euro-Wall and watch the evening light settle over the water. Rare by nature, private by design, and unlike almost anything else on 30A. Read Less
