Just off Scenic Highway 30A in the heart of Seagrove Beach, an irreplaceable coastal compound spanning two contiguous lots from street to street, offering an extraordinary 270 feet of depth--creates a true estate-sized homesite just a few tiers off the white sand beaches of the Gulf. 51 Santa Clara is where the rhythm of the coast meets the quiet of residential streets and introduces a newly built compound residence with main house and separate guest home designed with both scale and livability in mind. Masterfully designed and built by Personal Home Builders, the residence reflects a clean architectural approach that prioritizes proportion with exceptional scale, natural light, and thoughtful functionality--offering a refined yet relaxed interpretation of modern coastal living. Its proximity to new urbanism in Seaside Florida is excellent, and provides easy pedestrian access without having the constraints of tight lot lines and HOA oversight.
The interiors are defined by volume and openness. Twelve-foot ceilings on the first floor create an immediate sense of arrival, while ten-foot ceilings upstairs maintain the home's airy continuity. Light moves effortlessly through the 4,100 square feet of primary living space, with each room positioned to balance gathering and retreat. The layout feels expansive without excess, designed for both everyday comfort and hosting at scale.
The kitchen and main living areas anchor the home, flowing seamlessly toward outdoor spaces that extend the living experience. An outdoor shower reinforces the coastal lifestyle, while the deep homesite--approximately 60 by 270 feet--provides a level of privacy and flexibility rarely found this close to 30A. Deeded beach access to Gulf Shore Manor places the Gulf within easy reach, allowing the home to function as a truly walkable coastal retreat.
Guest accommodations are thoughtfully distributed, including a bunk room designed to sleep five--creating a dedicated space for extended family or visiting guests. An additional 800-square-foot carriage house adds flexibility, whether used for overflow accommodations, private guest quarters, or a separate living environment.
Behind the scenes, the home is equally considered. A 26-kilowatt generator provides whole-home backup power, while two tankless water heaters ensure consistent performance for larger groups. These structural and mechanical decisions support long-term livability, reinforcing the home's balance of design and practicality.
At 51 Santa Clara, the result is a newly built residence that pairs proximity to 30A with the rarity of a true estate-sized homesite, deeded Gulf access, and thoughtfully scaled interiors--an offering that is both connected and quietly removed, where architecture, function, and location come together in a cohesive, livable composition.
