189 N Southern Cross Lane, Watersound, Florida, 32461

At 189 N Southern Cross Lane, a sense of anticipation lingers in the air--an emerging residence taking shape within the gated community of WaterSound Camp Creek, where thoughtful design and coastal beauty meet. Currently under construction and nearing completion, this home by Minchew Design Build is being crafted with intention, each detail contributing to a larger story of how a home should feel as much as how it should function. Thoughtfully designed for modern living, the residence is also fully smart-home wired, seamlessly integrating convenience and technology throughout. One of the defining luxuries of Camp Creek living is the inclusion of a WaterSound Club membership, extending the experience far beyond the residence itself. Days can begin with a round of unlimited golf, followed by an afternoon on the private beach with dedicated setups, a match on the tennis or pickleball courts, or time spent at the zero-entry pools. The club’s wellness offerings are equally compelling, with strength training and cardio facilities, fitness classes, and rejuvenating sauna and steam rooms creating an amenity experience that feels more like a private resort.

Encompassing more than 5,500 square feet, the home unfolds with quiet confidence. As you move through the interiors, white oak hardwood floors carry a sense of warmth underfoot, guiding you from one space to the next. The main living areas are designed for both connection and ease--anchored by a fireplace and complemented by a butler’s pantry and temperature-controlled wine room, where evenings can begin with a simple pour and evolve into something more memorable.

There is a rhythm to the layout--moments of gathering balanced with spaces for retreat. A dedicated office offers a place for focus, while an upstairs living area invites slower afternoons or movie nights that stretch long past sunset. The bunk room with its reading loft introduces a sense of imagination, while a second primary suite on the upper level provides an additional private retreat for comfort and flexibility. Additional unfinished space not included in the main square footage offers flexibility for a private suite, fitness studio, or creative retreat, further enhancing the home’s versatility.

The primary suite feels elevated in both design and perspective, with vaulted ceilings and soft pond views that shift with the light throughout the day. It’s a space designed for stillness--where mornings arrive gently and evenings settle in with ease.

Outdoors, the home opens into a setting designed to be lived in fully. A heated saltwater pool and hot tub become the center of the experience, framed by an outdoor kitchen and fireplace that invite conversation, celebration, and time spent under open skies. Subtle architectural touches, including copper roof accents, add character and a sense of permanence.

The five-car garage, thoughtfully designed to accommodate a lift, speaks to both practicality and possibility--space not just for storage, but for lifestyle.

As it nears completion, 189 N Southern Cross Lane tells a story of balance--between architecture and environment, gathering and solitude, intention and ease. It is a home designed not simply to be seen, but to be experienced over time, where each day unfolds with a quiet sense of place within Camp Creek and is enriched by the extraordinary lifestyle of WaterSound Club.
