Single Family Residence In Youngstown

On Deer Point Lake in Northwest Florida, Casa Flora sits on 1.5 acres with 450+ feet of freshwater shoreline - a rare dual-exposure lot where sunrise, sunset and moonrise all cross the same water. The home was designed to enhance lake views that extend throughout the home and multiple interior rooms including the primary suite, kitchen, dining room, living areas, mudroom and bedrooms.

3BD/2.5BA, 2,344 sq ft plus 400 sq ft detached artist’s studio. Completely reimagined in 2023 through a full gut renovation down to the studs, including new roof, electrical, plumbing, septic, windows, siding and appliances. James Hardie exterior with hand-carved mid-century posts. Closed-cell spray foam insulation throughout. Navien tankless gas water heater. Culligan whole-house water filtration and softener. Wind mitigation inspection confirmed hurricane clips and sealed roof deck. F inished floor elevation 10.4 feet, 2.4 feet above base flood elevation.

A spacious mudroom with built-in cabinetry, abundant windows, lake views and a convenient half bath. Open living and dining areas feature custom architectural details and expansive views of the lake. Chef’s kitchen with marble counters, zellige-style backsplash, gas range with pot filler, farmhouse sink, coffee and wine bar, barn-door pantry. Custom entertainment wall with arched niches and wood-inlay electric fireplace. Spacious primary suite opens directly to the waterfront with custom walk-in closet, soaking tub beneath lake-view windows, capiz chandelier and glass-enclosed pebble-floor shower. Third bedroom/study with full-wall custom built-ins. Covered back porch and 35-ft open-air entertaining patio.

The grounds are as carefully designed as the home itself. Three private docks serve different purposes: the main dock for boats and lake access, the nature dock for quiet contemplation among the lily pads, and a private fishing hole area with a fishing dock\platform where largemouth bass and crappie come out of the cove steps from the door. A large built-in fire pit lounge is oriented toward the water to watch sunsets, moonrise and wildlife views.

The meditation garden behind the studio was designed as a living chakra garden, with plantings chosen to reflect all seven energy centers: deep red daylilies, yellow roses, green jasmine climbing the pergola, violet salvia, and purple heart ground cover woven throughout. A butterfly mural presides over the garden from the studio wall. Hummingbirds visit the feeders daily. It is a space designed for stillness, and it delivers.

Beyond the meditation garden: a wildflower hill provides plentiful native pollinator habitat, herb garden, butterfly garden, vegetable beds, pergola with swing chairs and second smaller fire pit overlooking the lake and nature dock, a wedding lawn with honeysuckle arbor and bench, Cypress Point with a built-in hammock, mature bald cypress and blueberry bushes, and a garden center with potting station, clawfoot tub planter and outdoor shower.

Sunrise, sunset and moonrise views. Bald eagles, osprey, whistling ducks and great blue heron are among the frequent wildlife visitors. Casa Flora sits within one of Northwest Florida’s most pristine freshwater ecosystems, where wildlife moves through daily and the natural world is never far. Private well. Kayak access to Econfina Creek springs corridor, Bear Creek and Deer Point Lake from your own dock. Pitt Spring, Williford Spring and Blue Hole Spring within easy reach.

The detached artist’s studio is 400 sq ft of light-filled and climate- controlled creative space beside its own garden, ready to become a yoga room, sound healing studio, writer’s retreat, or home office. The barn and covered garage provide additional workspace, equipment storage and room for all your recreational storage.

Adjacent 0.6-acre canal-side parcel with installed septic and artesian well available separately creating additional possibilities for development.
