Located on Harbor Island, nestled between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, this waterfront resort residence is a modern marvel of engineering as timeless as the vistas surrounding it.

A fifty-foot floating dock awaits a yacht, with a 24,000lb boat lift and ample dockage for auxiliary watercraft.
