Coveted waterfront Florida home with steps down to gorgeous sandy beach hits market for $7.25m
It’s the only waterfront property for sale in Rosemary Beach – and it can be yours for $7.25 million.
The coveted property is one of just one of 32 homes on the water in Rosemary Beach, a master-planned community on Florida’s Emerald Coast.
The quintessential beach cottage boasts unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico, and is comprised of a main house, adjacent private courtyard and spacious carriage house, complete with private beach access that leads down to the beach just steps away, according to the Zillow listing.
Owners hold onto the watefront homes for years, so it’s rare when one is up for grabs, listing agent Jonathan Spears of Spears Group at Compass told the Wall Street Journal.

Current owners are Rodes and Page Hart of Nashville, Tennessee, who bought the property back in 2021 for $2.85 million as an anniversary gift for themselves, the WSJ reported.
It has been used by the Harts as a vacation home for themselves, children and grandchildren, but said they are selling because they are in the process of building a bigger home a few communities over.
There have been several updates to the property including the upstairs covered porch, where the couple said they liked to sit and watch dolphins.
The main house is approximately 2,000 square feet and has three bedrooms. The carriage house, often used as a guest house, is 600 square feet and has one bedroom.
