A
stunning waterfront estate in Gulf Breeze is poised to be one of the top home sales in Santa Rosa County this year. Located at 204 Laura Lane on Hoffman Bayou, the villa-style property boasts eight bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and over 14,000 square feet of living space, all with breathtaking views of the water.

    The 27-year-old estate is listed for $10 million, which would make it the second-highest sale in the county this year if it closes at that price. The owners worked with local architects to blend European and historic Pensacola styles, creating a timeless masterpiece that exudes luxury and artistry.

    "I'd describe it as timeless," says listing agent Angela Cummins. "Those classic details weather the course of time." The estate features custom touches like cherry cabinets, Czech crystal chandeliers, and a wide range of colors throughout its interior design.

    Amenities include an in-home spa retreat with sauna, massage area, and private bathroom, as well as a pool, guest house, and private potting room. The property also boasts two deep-water docks and is situated on nearly 3 acres of land, offering unparalleled privacy and value.

    According to Cummins, the price per square foot of $700 is unbeatable in this market, especially considering the estate's amenities and acreage. She believes that this sale could solidify Gulf Breeze's position as a luxury real estate hub in Florida, rivaling more well-known markets like Delray and Palm Beach.

    "We don't have the same notoriety, but I believe these landmark properties will show people the value we offer," Cummins says. "The lifestyle here is very competitive – beautiful restaurants, upscale entertainment, nightlife – all at a reasonable price."
