Spanning 200 feet of prime sandy beach frontage, this breathtaking estate is a rare sanctuary where timeless elegance meets coastal tranquility. Designed for privacy, relaxation, and entertaining, the estate has been cherished for over 40 years as a treasured family retreat and now, it's ready for its next fortunate owner.
