About this home

PRICED $21,500 BELOW what owners paid for the home 21 years ago AND priced below replacement cost! What makes one waterfront home more desirable than another? Sometimes it isn't square footage or trendy features. It's how it was built. It's how it lives. It's what surrounds it. This home checks all three boxes. Originally designed by a Scottish architect whose career included designing hurricane-resistant buildings in Jamaica, every major decision was made with longevity in mind rather than minimum code requirements, incorporating engineering and structural features that exceeded the standards of its day. A concrete first level, interior concrete structural walls, hip roof construction with double hurricane straps, and numerous storm protection upgrades quietly reflect a philosophy that valued resilience long before it became a priority for coastal buyers. Equally uncommon is the floor plan. Unlike many island homes designed primarily for vacations, this residence functions as a true home. Spacious rooms, practical storage, dedicated office space, built-in cabinetry, and comfortable living areas make everyday life easy without sacrificing warmth or character. Then there's the view. Clam Bayou isn't simply waterfront, it is protected waterfront. Looking across mangroves instead of rooftops creates a level of privacy that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. The changing tides, spectacular sunsets, and daily parade of shorebirds provide scenery that no architect could ever design.Outside your door, Herons Landing offers a lifestyle that few communities can match: gated privacy, deeded beach access, a community dock and kayak launch, fishing pier, tennis courts, and pool. And perhaps the biggest surprise? The owners are asking approximately what they paid for the home more than two decades ago. In today's market, that's almost unheard of.
