set along 103 feet of private waterfront on the storied shores of joe’s bayou—one of destin’s most iconic and desirable addresses—this exceptional compound offers a rare opportunity to own a purposefully assembled, generational estate comprised of two distinct single-family residences across 1.35 acres. with direct access to the gulf of mexico just minutes away through the east pass, and a backdrop of white sand beach, lush green space, and deepwater dockage, this estate was designed for a life well lived, and well shared.
recently reimagined by esteemed builder frank janssen, the primary waterfront residence at 702 beach drive is a masterclass in craftsmanship and livability. constructed with aerated autoclaved concrete and positioned slab-on-grade, the home offers enduring strength while showcasing refined interiors and bespoke detailing. twelve-foot ceilings, travertine floors, and a barrel-vaulted plaster entry ceiling set a sophisticated tone, while a custom kitchen impresses with wood-mode cabinetry, honed marble counters, a wenge butcher block island, wolf and sub-zero appliances, and curated organizational features built for true chefs.
the living room’s wet bar, fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows connect effortlessly to a screened pool terrace, where views of the bayou unfold across the 90-foot private dock, sandy beach, and covered 30 plus foot boat slip. an outdoor shower at the dock makes rinsing off after a day on the water as effortless as the lifestyle itself.
the main-level primary suite offers a sanctuary of comfort, with custom built-ins, a hidden vanity, concealed safe, and a spa-like bath wrapped in high-end quartz. a second ensuite bedroom upstairs accompanies a game and media lounge, opening to a large balcony with sweeping water views. additional features include two additional bedrooms on the main level, a whole-house generator, tankless gas water heater, air purification system, and 2.5-car garage with workspace.
just across the landscaped lawn, the second residence at 700 beach drive offers completely remodeled flexibility for extended family, adult children, or long-term guests, with three bedrooms and two full baths, its own driveway and a private setting. beautifully maintained and well-appointed, it complements the waterfront home while offering its own distinct sense of space and comfort—perfectly suited for multigenerational living.
together, the two homes form a rare and remarkable compound—where heritage meets modern luxury, and where every sunset over joe’s bayou feels like it was made just for you.
