5 Florida Luxury Homes from Gulffront Retreats to Creekside Acreage

Along the water’s edge in Wesley Chapel’s Epperson, this Dakota model by Avex Homes pairs new-construction peace of mind with immediate move-in ease—and it’s offered fully furnished after being used only a few weeks each year and never rented. Set on a premium quarter-acre waterfront lot within walking distance of Epperson’s Crystal Lagoon, the layout is designed for flexibility, with 6 bedrooms plus an office and loft, 4.5 bathrooms, and a split 3-car garage. A private first-floor suite adds a full bath, walk-in closet, its own garage bay, and a separate exterior entrance—ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Open-concept living centers on a gourmet kitchen with premium cabinetry, designer finishes, upgraded lighting, abundant storage, and a Samsung Family Hub Smart refrigerator. Outside, a 525-square-foot covered lanai frames tranquil pond views and includes a 50-amp connection for a future pool or spa. Whole-house CAT6 wiring, pre-wiring for security, surge protection, and Samsung laundry complete the thoughtful upgrades.

Along the water’s edge in Middleburg, this manageable farmstead stretches across over 8 acres with more than 635 feet of direct frontage on scenic Black Creek, navigable to the St. Johns River. A very well kept, one-level ranch offers four bedrooms and three full baths, opening to a sparkling enclosed pool with outstanding views across the pastures. Outbuildings are thoughtfully scaled for everyday rural life: a large metal building set up for garage and carport use, plus a charming red barn with four stalls for your critters. Down by the creek, an elevated creekside building creates an easy place to cook out or simply linger beside the serene water. The owner has kept a fairly large boat here, and the setting is described as a perfect place to fish and keep animals—from cows and pigs to chickens, with plenty of room for horses.

Along the water’s edge in Cedar Key, this renovated retreat sits on a beautifully landscaped lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, with unobstructed Gulf views and memorable Florida sunsets. The open-concept main level is designed for easy coastal living, connecting a spacious living room, dining area, and gourmet kitchen appointed with premium appliances and elegant finishes—all oriented to expansive water views. A generous open deck invites effortless entertaining, while the screened porch offers a quieter place to take in the coastal breeze. Upstairs, comfortable bedrooms create restful accommodations. Downstairs, a spacious family room is joined by a two-car garage, workshop, and abundant storage for gear and everyday life. Set beside the Cedar Key Airstrip, you’ll enjoy privacy alongside convenience—plus nearby oyster bars, fishing, boating, kayaking, and the island’s shops, waterfront restaurants, festivals, and golf cart-friendly streets.

Along the water’s edge on N Crooked Lake Drive in Babson Park, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath waterfront retreat pairs everyday ease with a true lakeside setting, complete with a white sandy beach and .70 acres to spread out. Inside, cathedral ceilings with accented wood beams bring volume and warmth, while low-maintenance solid surface flooring runs throughout. The kitchen keeps things crisp and functional with quartz countertops. A Florida room captures panoramic waterfront views, creating a natural gathering spot from morning coffee to late-day unwinding. Practical upgrades include double-pane windows, a metal roof, gutters, and an irrigation system. Hardie board siding and a stacked stone facade add texture and durability. A two-car garage with opener, plus washer, dryer, and refrigerator in the garage, round out a home designed for unhurried days by the lake.

Along the water’s edge in Miramar Beach, this furnished condo sits within a gated Walton County community with rave reviews and membership in the Sandestin Owners Association. Days can unfold across four golf courses, the Tennis & Pickleball Club, or the Marina, with “sugary” beaches and emerald-colored water close by. Inside, updated flooring runs through a layout designed for easy living, while a recently renovated kitchen adds a double oven for weeknight dinners or weekend hosting. The spa-like primary bath brings a quieter, restorative note, and a whole-home water system delivers filtered water throughout. High-end furniture is included, and the home also comes with a private single garage and a personal golf cart—ideal for the short ride to the Gulf of America beaches, shopping, and dining. Evenings linger on a roomy balcony overlooking the golf course.
