Nestled in the quiet and charming neighborhood of Ocean Forest in Jacksonville Beach, this one-of-a-kind home is a true architectural gem. Originally designed by Austin Rasco and masterfully built by Gary Grider, this stunning residence has been completely refurbished to blend timeless craftsmanship with modern luxury.
Constructed with exquisite Mahogany, Fir, and Redwood Cedar, every detail of this home showcases unparalleled artistry and quality. Its symmetrical design, influenced by Asian architecture, creates a harmonious flow, accentuated by soaring vaulted ceilings in every room and breathtaking panoramic views of the Intracoastal Waterway.The open-concept floorplan centers around a grand great room, seamlessly extending onto a brand-new composite deck, where tranquil waterfront vistas await. Thoughtfully designed, the north and south wings elegantly embrace the outdoor space—with the north wing dedicated to living areas and the south wing offering private sleeping quarters.
Built with serenity and sustainability in mind, this special retreat is perfectly positioned on a prime stretch of the Intracoastal, located on a tidal estuary, navigable with a small boat at high tide, offering a rare connection to nature and the coastal lifestyle. This is more than a homeit’s a sanctuary of beauty, balance, and tranquility.
