Property Description

A True Coastal Rebuild — Engineered for Performance, Designed for Living. Positioned directly on a coveted beach access along Ocean Ridge Drive, this exceptional coastal property offers something rarely found in Atlantic Beach: a fully rebuilt home designed for durability, efficiency, and effortless coastal living. In 2017, this home was taken completely down to the studs and rebuilt with a focus on long-term performance and peace of mind. Every major system was replaced–new wiring, plumbing, roof shingles, fixtures, appliances, and structural upgrades including hurricane strapping–bringing the home fully up to modern code standards. Just weeks after completion, the property was put to the ultimate test, withstanding Hurricane Florence with no damage, a powerful testament to the quality of construction. Inside and behind the walls, the upgrades continue. The home features spray foam insulation throughout, creating a quiet, energy-efficient environment, along with a geothermal heating and cooling system–a rare and highly efficient solution powered by well water that significantly reduces operating costs. Designed with both comfort and functionality in mind, the property includes: Tankless hot water system (propane-powered) ensuring continuous hot water even during peak summer occupancy, 350-gallon underground propane tank supporting the pool heater, range, and hot water system, Well water servicing irrigation and pool, reducing utility expenses, New septic system and 6 chambered drain field (2020), French drain system and sealed foundation for enhanced drainage and long-term protection, Updated cargo lift (2022), professionally maintained. The outdoor space is equally compelling. A 26-foot Imagine Fantasy saltwater pool with heating capability and customizable multi-color lighting creates a private resort-style setting ideal for entertaining or maximizing rental appeal. The home also offers thoughtful accessibility features, including a handicap-accessible (for owners elderly mother) bathroom with walk-in tub and shower, making it adaptable for a wide range of owners and guests. Quartz countertops and updated finishes throughout complete the home’s modern, low-maintenance design.
In addition to its lifestyle appeal, the property has demonstrated strong rental performance, generating approximately $124,858 in gross revenue in 2025 while reserving three peak summer weeks for personal use. With full availability, estimated income potential approaches $140,000+ annually, offering a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking both enjoyment and income. With its direct beach access location, comprehensive structural upgrades, and proven income history, this property represents a rare opportunity to own a turnkey coastal home built not just for beauty–but for resilience, efficiency, and long-term value.
