321 Calhoun Avenue Destin, FL 32541

From our family to yours, this property isn't just a home—it's been the backdrop to some of the greatest memories of our lives. Nestled in the heart of Destin, it's more than just a location—it's a sanctuary. When we first moved here, we were hesitant about being in the middle of a vibrant vacation destination. But the moment we discovered this property, we knew it was different. Set on over an acre of pristine waterfront, it feels like living on your very own private island. The hustle and bustle of the outside world fades the second you turn down the driveway. With neighbors who are rarely home, it's a peaceful retreat like no other. And the location? Unmatched. Perched along the coveted emerald tide line, it boasts crystal-clear waters that transform into a Caribbean-like paradise with the incoming tide, which fades to brackish water even just a few homes down to the east. This home has been the setting for thousands of irreplaceable moments: Serene mornings watching the sun rise and the dolphins chasing the mullet fish as if putting on a show. Joyful afternoons leaping off the dock or teaching our kids to swim in the calm, clear waters. Family evenings around the fire pit as the sky paints itself in colors we never grew tired of seeing.
And the magic? It's real. From spotting dolphins playing under the dock to quiet moments of reflection, this place has brought us more joy than we ever imagined possible. We poured our hearts into making this house a true home. Every inch has been lovingly remodeled to create both beauty and functionality. From the completely remodeled kitchen, featuring the highly coveted 48 Sub-Zero fridge, to the custom waterfront office addition, the theater room with an 11.1 top-of-the-line sound system and dual laser projector, and the master bathroom spa retreat with steam, aromatherapy, chromatherapy, and luxurious touches like a heated towel barevery detail of this home has been thoughtfully crafted for unparalleled comfort and sophistication.
Beyond the home itself, the property is a true wonderland. Landscaped to perfection, it's alive with naturebox turtles visit each morning, cranes and pelicans glide gracefully through the air, and fruit trees including limes, oranges, avocados, and even pineapples thrive in the lush surroundings. At night, the property transforms into a magical retreat with lighting that highlights the palm trees and seasonal themes. The newly rebuilt dock with Titan X decking and concrete-reinforced sleeves were designed to weather any storm. The 20,000-pound boat lift can accommodate almost any vessel, and the summer water depth is perfect for enjoying endless aquatic adventures.

Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. Properties along this stretch of emerald-clear water are tightly held, and it's easy to see why. The unmatched beauty, vibrant marine life, and unique tidal clarity make this location one of a kind.
