2059 Turpentine Trail

Welcome to "Quiet Water", an extensively remodeled bayfront retreat in the private, gated St. George Island Plantation. Set on approximately 1.15 acres with an extraordinary 223 feet of frontage on Apalachicola Bay, this fully furnished coastal home combines exceptional privacy, panoramic sunset views, direct boating access and a private white-sandy beach extending the entire length of the waterfront. The thoughtfully designed interior features two spacious waterfront primary suites positioned on opposite sides of the home. The expansive water views from the primary suites are phenomenal! Each suite includes a renovated private bathroom, sitting area, generous closet space and access to a screened porch overlooking the bay. Above the main living area, a sleeping loft beneath the vaulted ceiling offers a distinctive space especially well suited for children, teenagers or young adults. The loft includes a secondary single sleeping bunk, its own full bathroom and a closet. Because standing room is limited, the loft is best understood as a flexible sleeping area rather than a traditional third bedroom. At the center of the home, the expansive open great room is framed by a broad wall of impact-rated windows, filling the interior with natural light and capturing uninterrupted views across St. George Sound. Cathedral ceilings, painted woodwork, updated flooring, recessed lighting and a custom fireplace create a warm, refined coastal atmosphere. The renovated kitchen features quartzite countertops, premium appliances, abundant cabinetry, refrigerated drawers and a pantry. A metal roof, impact-rated windows and doors, renovated bathrooms, refreshed interior and exterior finishes, updated lighting and a rebuilt dock complement the home’s turnkey condition. Outdoor living is the defining feature of this exceptional St. George Island property. Multiple screened porches provide inviting spaces for morning coffee, al fresco dining, relaxing and watching spectacular sunsets over the bay. Beneath the elevated home, generous covered areas offer parking, entertaining space and storage for boats, kayaks, bicycles and beach equipment. The private dock, fish-cleaning station and two boat lifts place some of Florida’s best inshore fishing within immediate reach. Launch from your own backyard and within minutes be fishing for tripletail in St. George Sound or targeting redfish and tarpon at Bob Sikes Cut, one of the area’s most popular boating and fishing destinations. "The Cut" is accessible only by water and through the Plantation, with no public vehicular access. All furnishings and appliances convey, making the property ready for immediate enjoyment. Although the home is not currently used as a short-term rental, short-term rentals are permitted within St. George Island Plantation, offering future owners additional flexibility to own a powerhouse income generator. Community amenities include two swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness facilities, walking and bicycle paths, a private airstrip and access to Bob Sikes Cut. Quiet Water - 2059 Turpentine Trail - is more than a luxury bayfront property—it is a gateway to a sought-after coastal lifestyle defined by a private white sandy beach, spectacular nightly sunsets, exceptional boating and fishing, and the privacy, serenity and resort-style amenities of one of Florida’s premier gated coastal communities.
