Amazing opportunity to own one of the largest lots on sought after Holiday Isle in Destin. This exceptional property boasts over 170 ft of canal frontage, nearly double most lots on The Isle. With 2 true deep water boat slips, one lift, a jet ski slip, plus additional day boat docking area, and still room to add a pool (permitting required). The sizable lot offers a rare canvas in one of Destin's most coveted waterfront neighborhoods, where lots of this scale and frontage almost never come to market. The existing 3-bedroom home with 2 bonus rooms and over 2,700 sq ft of decking overlooking the canal is a classic coastal cottage ready for your vision. Update it, reimagine it, or start from scratch. The bones are here but the real value is the land, the water, and the location.
