Residential properties are built for different purposes and therefore reflect a wide range of craftsmanship and durability.
On one end of the spectrum are what the real estate industry characterizes as disposable homes, or ones that an owner expects to replace in a matter of years for another. An example of a disposable home would be one that is created to fulfill a temporary need, such as in response to a change in family economics, or for relocation reasons. This is decidedly different from “forever homes,” or one that is built for the long-term with the intent of serving multiple generations. One of the distinctive attributes that underlies the home at 105 Palm Forest is from inception, it was designed and constructed for quality and longevity.
This home was built by John Shackelford Jr., who is known for his building
quality and integrity. The architect “knows how to embrace a period style while incorporating
modern approaches to functionality within the home.” He earned his reputation primarily in Sea
Island, Georgia, and works with an architectural firm out of Atlanta. He wisely specified
structural steel and concrete block and authentically applied stucco, which are just some of the
details that qualify this home as built to last. In addition, such interior refinements as deep
custom mill work, stone flooring and custom doors, make this home as impressive inside as it
is fundamentally sound behind the walls.
The home at 105 Palm Forest is situated behind the gates in Marsh Landing Country Club and is on a peninsula of land surrounded by either tidal marsh or golf course and water. As one of only six lots in the cul-de-sac, this property provides easy access and much desired privacy.
The home’s eat-in kitchen is spacious enough to accommodate a large “farm house” type table in front of the unique stucco fireplace. French doors from the kitchen and eating area lead out to the covered lanai, summer kitchen, pool and spa. All of these key living spaces have views out onto the pond and golf course fairway beyond. Even the living room lends itself to being used as it has ample space for several seating and conversation areas.
This house is high quality, well located and highly functional for most any lifestyle. The combination of floor plan, building quality and interior refinements, coupled with a location that is within walking distance to the Marsh Landing Country Club, yield a special housing opportunity in Ponte Vedra Beach.
This property is represented by First Coast Sotheby's International Realty, listed by Michelle Floyd and offered for $2,250,000.
