Located on over an acre on the Apalachicola Bay, this exquisite private compound in Historic Apalachicola features a large, custom-built 3-bedroom, 3-bath Craftsman bungalow with a private dock, plus 2 guest studios each with their own kitchens and full baths, outdoor brick oven, fruit orchards, gardens, and panoramic Bay views. Constructed in 2005 with stick frame on a slab and cedar shake siding, the home boasts an interior with clear cypress paneling, doors, and windows in a Japanese-influenced Arts & Crafts and Prairie style. Heart-pine floors add warmth throughout. Custom details include hardware, built-in mica lamps, and unique woodwork. The layout includes a versatile room for an office or nursery, an upstairs primary suite with a sitting room, walk-in closet, Jacuzzi, and sauna, plus a stargazing balcony. Dormer spaces provide ample storage. Downstairs, two bedrooms each have full baths, and notable built-in features of cypress are present in the stairs, benches, and bookcases. The fireplace is accented by handmade "Green Man" art tiles, and four stained glass windows were crafted by a local artist. The chef's kitchen features heart pine cabinets with cedar lining, green subway tile, a six-burner gas stove, heart pine counters, and stainless appliances. The two-story guest house offers autonomous living spaces on each floor with private baths and kitchens. The outdoor area includes a brick oven, citrus and fig orchards, an organic garden, and a pergola with dining. A front porch overlooks the compound and a Bayfront firepit. The dock extends into the bay and is perfect for launching shallow draft watercraft. The property boasts views of three Gulf barrier islands: SGI, Little SGI and St. Vincent.
