Set within the coastal community of WaterColor, 109 Bluejack is a 6 bedroom custom home with garage, carriage house and a private resort-style outdoor living space, all designed around the moments that become traditions: slow mornings, afternoons that drift between the beach and pool, grandparents staying just steps away, and memories made within a small-town atmosphere with luxe amenities. Built by Romair Construction with interiors by Kirstie Carollo of Bella Beach, the home brings together two names long associated with some of WaterColor's most admired residences. Exterior and interior expansive living spaces encourage everyone to be together without ever feeling crowded. Carrera marble carries throughout the home, from the kitchen and its statement island to beautifully finished baths, while a sophisticated coastal palette gives the interiors a sense of permanence beyond passing trends. Offered fully furnished and turnkey, there is nothing to prepare and nothing to reimagine. Arrive, unpack and begin living. The heart of the home moves effortlessly outdoors. Peacock pavers and rich Ipe decking frame a private pool and spa, while a sculptural micro cement dining table creates a natural gathering place for long lunches and dinners outside. As daylight fades, the fire pit draws everyone back together. The carriage house adds another dimension to the property and to the way generations can experience it together. A private studio residence with a king bed, full bath, kitchenette, living area, and its own washer and dryer gives grandparents, adult children or guests independence while keeping the family together. And that may ultimately be what distinguishes 109 Bluejack. Homes with five or more bedrooms exist in WaterColor. Homes with exceptional interiors exist. So do homes with private pools, generous outdoor living, garages and carriage houses. Finding all of those attributes together, in one beautifully resolved property, is considerably more difficult. Here, a day can begin with a golf-cart ride into WaterColor or neighboring Seaside. From there, it's off to the beach and the Gulf-front pools of the WaterColor Beach Club. Later, when everyone else has settled in, pour a glass of wine and slip into the spa. 109 Bluejack is having a place where everyone wants to come back. A place where three generations can gather, where children grow up measuring summers in beach days and bike rides, and where they return with families of their own. A place for peace, connection and rest for the soul. And, in time, legacy.

No HOA at this Gulf front property. Walk right to the beach with no steps from one of the most iconic and unique homes on 30a, ''The Sand Castle,'' an all steel and concrete build in 2019, was further updated and interiors renovated in 2024-2025, including designer furnishings, bespoke fixtures, and custom tile. With forever Gulf views and a rooftop private pool and entertaining area, The Sand Castle is perfect for entertaining friends and family. Perfectly situated close to Seaside in gorgeous Seagrove Beach, it takes one minute to walk to the beach, and some of the best dining on 30a is a short stroll away. With NO HOA fees, cost of ownership is lower than traditional Gulf view homes. Enjoy forever views, easy beach access and unprecedented design and comfort year round.
