On the shores of Lake Powell, behind the lush gates of Wild Heron, this remarkable 0.66-acre homesite offers a way of living that is rare along the Emerald Coast., a private lakefront retreat with the Gulf and its beaches. Lake Powell is one of the largest coastal dune lakes, a distinctive ecosystem whose natural outlet periodically connects with the Gulf. The result is a landscape shaped by both fresh and salt water, where mornings can begin on still lake water and the day can unfold between boating, fishing, time outdoors and a visit to the beach. It is a singular pairing of lake and Gulf that gives this property its own sense of place. A private dock by Gorman Marine the builder of Wild Heron's main community dock makes the lake an everyday part of the home. Designed to accommodate a boat up to 30 feet and a jet ski, the dock includes a lift for each, bringing the pleasure of getting out on the water right to your shoreline. Architectural plans by J. Michael Hunnicutt, AIA, were designed for this homesite and envision a gracious residence arranged around a private pool courtyard. The thoughtful layout includes a first-floor primary suite, expansive kitchen and family living spaces, butler's pantry, guest accommodations, covered outdoor living, summer kitchen and three-car garage. Upstairs, the plans add more bedrooms, an exercise room and a covered terrace creating a home designed for both gathering and retreat. Wild Heron's mature landscape protects its natural areas and resort-style amenities make an exceptional setting for this vision. Residents enjoy a winter-heated lakeside pool and spa, fitness center, waterfront pavilion and fire pit, nature trails and a 24-hour guarded entrance. The Gulf beaches, 30A and Panama City Beach are nearby. A homesite of this scale, directly on Lake Powell and paired with a private boat and jet ski dock, is an exceptionally rare offering in Wild Heron.
