Within the gates of Draper Lake Coastal Village, this custom-built residence occupies a remarkable position at the tip of a quiet peninsula, where sweeping 270-degree views stretch across the water and surrounding natural landscape. Framed by native vegetation, sculptural scrub oaks and open green space, the setting offers exceptional privacy in one of Scenic Highway 30A's most sought-after coastal communities. Built in 2023, the five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath home was conceived by architect Paul Geary of Atlanta's acclaimed TS Adams Studio, drawing on Craftsman, Creole and coastal influences. Its oyster-gray exterior, layered cedar siding, German-smeared brick and reclaimed cypress detailing reflect a level of architectural thoughtfulness that carries throughout the property. Exposed beams, custom woodwork, mahogany entryways and copper gas lanterns give the home a distinct sense of character. Inside, white oak floors, Venetian plaster and soaring ceilings bring warmth and texture to the living spaces. The great room opens through 10-foot multi-slide doors to the covered porch, pool and spa, drawing the surrounding landscape into everyday living. Outdoors, a heated pool, spa, waterfall and fire feature create a private retreat, while an outdoor kitchen and generous covered porches extend the home's entertaining spaces. The second-floor primary suite opens to a sweeping wraparound porch overlooking the lake. A double boathouse accommodates paddleboards and kayaks, with Draper Lake just steps from the back porch. The property also includes a separate carriage house with private guest accommodations, a kitchenette and flexible media space. Draper Lake, one of Florida's rare coastal dune lakes with a natural outflow to the Gulf, is central to the character of this private, gated, non-rental community. Master-planned by Duany Plater-Zyberk, the team behind Seaside, Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach, Draper Lake Coastal Village draws inspiration from the waterfront villages of the Adirondacks. Its thoughtful planning, native landscape and open green spaces offer a quieter counterpoint to the beach, while keeping the best of 30A within easy reach. The result is a distinctive lakefront residence where considered architecture, exceptional craftsmanship and an extraordinary natural setting come together.

At 53 Cedar Post Road, life settles into the rhythm of the lake. This 2014 Heritage Builders home sits in Draper Lake Coastal Village in Blue Mountain Beach facing the village green and the neighborhood's iconic 48-foot observation tower. A footpath from the screened porch leads to the lakeside trail, just 275 feet from the back door. Cedar siding and solid stacked river rock let the home sit comfortably among the pines, with views of the lake and the Gulf beyond looking down Cedar Post Road. Downstairs, wide-plank oak floors carry through the main living areas, and tall windows, transoms and French doors fill the living room with daylight beneath a vaulted shiplap ceiling and white beams. The room opens to an eat-in kitchen centered on a generous island with seating for seven, with quartz counters, a marble mosaic backsplash and a stainless apron-front farmhouse sink. Luxury appliances include a Thermador range, hood and refrigerator and dual-temperature KitchenAid wine refrigerator. The home's living space extends to a screened porch off the kitchen and a covered deck off the living area. Located right off the foyer, the main-level primary suite remains distinctly private from the upper-level sleeping quarters. Lush outdoor greenery frames the window, complementing the wide-plank oak flooring to create a serene retreat. A custom built-in desk, file storage and shelving sit discreetly behind classic paneled doors, allowing your remote workspace to cleanly shut away at dusk. Nearby, the serene primary bath showcases a frameless glass enclosure equipped with a rain shower head, hand sprayer, built-in bench and tactile pebble flooring framed by large-format tile and bright windows. A dual walk-in closet system and a slate gray shaker vanity enhanced by a pebble mosaic backsplash complete the private suite. Upstairs, three light-filled bedrooms with vaulted ceilings provide welcoming accommodations for family and guests. Soaking in natural light and tranquil treetop vistas through tall multi-pane windows, each room maintains the seamless flow of wide-plank oak flooring. One bedroom serves as an ensuite sanctuary complete with a private bath and walk-in closet, while two guest bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath adorned with a double vanity and an elegant glass mosaic backsplash. Set quietly behind sliding barn doors, an upper-level family room beneath a vaulted ceiling with an overhead fan creates a cozy secondary retreat. The large covered porch above the two-car carport is the home's favorite place to gather. At about 400 square feet, it is shaded, breezy and softened with sheer curtains, with an exposed-beam ceiling and a fan overhead. A dining table and plenty of comfortable seating make it easy to host a long dinner or simply linger. Draper Lake is a gated, non-rental community built around one of South Walton's fifteen named coastal dune lakes. Planned by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company, the firm behind Seaside, Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach, it is designed so that every home and amenity blends with its natural surroundings. Neighbors share two pools with fireplace pavilions, two boathouses on the lake with Gulf access, trails, bridges and greens, and a private beach cabana at the Gulfview Heights beach access. The Timpoochee Trail, dining and shops are close by.
