WHY Il Vento di Mare Il Vento di Mare, "Wind of the Ocean" formerly known as 280 Beach Drive takes full advantage of one of the most uniquely elevated sites along the Beaches of South Walton! This magnificently designed and constructed custom home blends Mediterranean architecture with Northwest Florida style and is currently being offered for sale as Whole or a fractional home providing 8 six week fractional interests.

From the entrance of the home, the property gradually begins its gentle climb from the roadside at 12’ feet above sea level and the beautiful landscape begins to take shape. From this point, the slope gradually climbs to the rear of the property to an amazing 25’ in height. This completely custom design allows for the three breath taking views. Yes, that’s right, three! This awesome site was carefully selected by the developer and is situated in the Gulf Pines subdivision in between the resorts ofHidden Dunes and the world renowned Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort home to the Senior PGA Tours' Boeing Championship. This private neighborhood boasts 1400 feet of private beach front which is more than all of Sandestin!

This exquisite homes' first view is of the private neighborhood lake which can be enjoyed from the grand entrance, master bedroom’s private veranda or simply sitting by the pool sipping a cool beverage. At the top of the main entry, a glimpse of the Gulf of Mexico can begin to be seen. Remind you, this is just the beginning. Once on the second floor, the design of this house becomes truly magnificent. A full view of the Gulf of Mexico and neighborhood lake can be seen from your media room and guest bedroom! From the second floor, the owner or guests easily remember why they came to stay at Il Vento di Mare. Next, head up the stairs or ride the elevator to the observation tower and you will see why the home has taken the name Il Vento di Mare "Wind of the Ocean". Now it is time to let go of the day's stress and take in expanding views of, the glistening beauty of, the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the world’s whitest beaches. The observation tower is fully wired with sound and TV and oh, did I mention the full wet bar. Here it has been said by many that you can peer out of this tower at 60 feet above sea level like kings once did looking out over their castle's country side. However, your country side here is the the sandy white beaches and emerald blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. From nearly six stories above sea level you can watch the sun disappear into the sea, then cruise down to the beach in your golf cart to take a leisurely sunset walk. Tomorrow maybe you will decide to build a sand castle, chase sand crabs or soak up some rays. Decisions, decisions!!

If you are yearning for more than the beach, well there are plenty more activities awaiting. Grab the kids from the second floor media room and head to your favorite shopping destination and the southeast's largest premier name brand outlet mall Silver Sands Factory Outlets or the newest addition Grand Boulevard or catch a movie dinner and shopping at the Destin Commons. The possibilities are endless. Fishing, Boating and Water Sports.

To make sure that your daily living experience inside your home is as grand as the views, we have incorporated several items for your convenience and pleasure. The passenger elevator will lift you to different floors within the home and allow you to entertain guests from over 400 SF of covered observation tower which can easily be used in conjunction with your gourmet kitchen. Many upgraded features include large travertine 16��? x 16" tile and hard wood floors. Custom kitchen design has been carefully planned and designed by Signature Cabinetry & Design and utilizes Kraftmaid cabinets, which compliment the stainless steel appliances by DCS Appliances throughout the kitchen.

This home is begging for dinner guests and family gatherings. Entertain them poolside, and sip tropical libations and watch the sun retire into the sea from the grand observation tower. Relax at home here with the beautiful views of the pristine waters and custom amenities or simply walk next door along the beach and enjoy one of Sandestin's many Fine Dining or Casual Dining dining establishments. Then stroll back home along the beach to retire.
