Welcome to 1198 Mandalay Point: peaceful, private, pristine. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a Buyer seeking a private retreat with access to miles of pristine Gulf beach, protected dockage on the bay, and 360-degree views of natural beauty at their own front door. This extraordinary property sits between the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the intracoastal bay to the east, providing views of sunrises over the bay and sunsets over the Gulf. This 42.57-acre property is bordered on the north by one of Florida's finest natural treasures: Caladesi Island State Park, one of the few untouched islands along the Gulf Coast. The 3, 434 square foot home with protected dockage is the northernmost property on Mandalay Point, a private, gated enclave of only 11 homes at the very north end of Clearwater Beach and within walking distance of another jewel in Clearwater's history, Carlouel Yacht Club, established in 1934. The home can be reached by the private road or by boat. The current owners, true stewards of the land, built the home in 1987 with the goal of providing an opportunity for family and guests to experience the natural beauty of this exceptional setting. They worked with premier builders Clark and Logan to create a home that is elevated 20 feet above sea level and is so thoughtfully placed on the property that all of the rooms, including the bathrooms, offer views of the Gulf of Mexico, the Bay, and the tropical Southernmost tip of Caladesi Island. The indoor/outdoor experience continues as you step into the living room which overlooks the Gulf and opens to an extraordinary atrium overlooking the pool and bay. This dramatic atrium, with 30-foot ceilings, features a heated lap pool raised above ground level and views of sunrises and sunsets, turtle and bird habitats, Australian Pines, crystal clear water, rainstorms and stars. This home offers the best of all worlds - an extremely private, pristine natural setting yet easy access to restaurants, grocery stores, a full-service marina and Tampa International Airport.
