86 S Lake Dr, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459

Property Description

South of Scenic Highway 30A in the Eastern Lake area of Santa Rosa Beach, 86 S Lake Drive is a newly constructed coastal home designed around the way people actually want to live at the beach: indoors and out, together and apart, with the Gulf, Eastern Lake and the restaurants, shops and beach access points of 30A close at hand. Built by Thor Construction and Design and offered fully furnished, the home pairs refined coastal architecture with a private pool, dedicated outdoor pool bathroom, game room, flexible guest spaces and generous parking, all without the constraints of an HOA. For buyers seeking a new construction home on 30A with short-term rental flexibility, this is a particularly compelling combination of location, design and usability. Across three levels, the interiors feel polished without becoming precious. Warm hardwood floors bring continuity through the principal living spaces, while tile, clean architectural lines and thoughtfully selected finishes create a contemporary coastal character that feels equally suited to a full-time residence, second home or vacation property. Five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and three half bathrooms allow the home to accommodate family and guests comfortably, with a first-floor bedroom adding valuable flexibility. An office provides dedicated space for working remotely, while a third-floor bunk room expands the home's ability to host. The kitchen sits naturally at the center of daily life and entertaining. A gas range supports serious cooking, while dual refrigerators provide the storage capacity that matters when a house is filled with family and friends. Living and dining spaces flow together easily, creating one connected gathering environment rather than a series of formal rooms. Elsewhere, a dedicated game room with wet bar gives guests another place to settle in, watch a game, gather after dinner or retreat after a day at the beach. Outside is where 86 S Lake Drive becomes especially well suited to the rhythm of a 30A home. The private in-ground pool anchors a fenced backyard designed for long afternoons outdoors, while a dedicated exterior pool bathroom allows swimmers and guests to move through the day without continually returning inside. It is a small architectural decision with an outsized effect on how the property lives, bringing the ease of a resort-style pool environment into a private residence. An outdoor shower adds another practical connection to coastal living, while gated grounds create separation and privacy. The home also offers a feature that becomes increasingly important when a coastal property is designed to accommodate multiple guests: parking. With space for numerous vehicles, the property supports larger gatherings without asking owners or guests to compromise convenience. Porches and balconies extend the living environment outdoors and create additional places for morning coffee, conversation or a slower end to the day. Its setting strengthens the proposition further. 86 S Lake Drive is positioned south of 30A in the Eastern Lake corridor of Santa Rosa Beach, placing the home within the sought-after east end of Scenic Highway 30A and close to the Gulf of Mexico, Eastern Lake, beach access, dining and the surrounding communities that define this stretch of the Florida Gulf Coast. The location offers direct access to the 30A lifestyle while remaining outside a master-planned HOA community. Offered turnkey and fully furnished, the residence brings together several attributes buyers frequently search for but do not always find in a single 30A property: new construction, a private pool, dedicated pool bathroom, flexible sleeping and gathering spaces, no HOA and short-term rental flexibility. For buyers searching for a luxury home south of 30A, a newer vacation home in Santa Rosa Beach, a second home near Eastern Lake, or an investment property with a private pool along Florida's Scenic Highway 30A, 86 S Lake Drive deserves particular attention.
