8523 Preservation Drive, Panama City Beach, FL 32413

Property Description

This is an incredible opportunity to skip the year-long design phase and move straight into the building process in one of the most exclusive conservation communities on the Gulf Coast. AI generated drawings show the designed plans (which are available for your review in person). Welcome to 8523 Preservation Drive, a sprawling 1.19-acre (51,972 sq. ft.) homesite offering unparalleled privacy and a serene connection to nature. This irregular-shaped lot provides the perfect canvas for a custom retreat, and the hard work is already done. The sale includes professionally prepared plans and drawings for a stunning 4,479 total sq. ft. residence. The third floor has an approximate 1,000 sf open floor plan that could be used as a sports room with a wrap-around corner bar! The drawings have also been approved by an engineer and there is a builder who knows the plans and specifications. An introduction can be made if interested. Designed for the modern coastal lifestyle, the proposed home features: - Living Space: 2,766 sq. ft. of heated and cooled interior. - Layout: 3 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 luxury baths. - Parking: A generous 3-car garage. As an added bonus, the garage was designed to incorporate an indoor pickleball court! - Design: A seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living. Experience: RiverCamps on Crooked Creek RiverCamps is a gated, 1,500-acre low-density woodland preserve nestled at the confluence of West Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and Crooked Creek. With no more than 450 homesites ever to be built, you are guaranteed a lifestyle defined by tranquility and environmental stewardship. World-Class Amenities Include: The RiverHouse: A spectacular community center featuring a zero-entry pool and a state-of-the-art fitness center (coming soon). Water Access: On-site boat ramp and day-use docks with direct access to West Bay and a short boat ride to Shell Island. Outdoor Adventure: Launch your kayak or paddleboard from the community docks, or enjoy the private campsite with permanent tents and a fire pit. Trails & Recreation: Over 7 miles of interconnected boardwalks and trails for hiking and biking, plus pickleball courts and a playground. The Preserve: A sanctuary for over 100 species of birds and local wildlife, ensuring your backyard remains a peaceful natural wonder. Located just minutes from the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) and the sugar-white sands of Panama City Beach, RiverCamps offers the rare ''best of both worlds''--a secluded woods-to-water sanctuary within easy reach of world-class dining and shopping at Pier Park. Don't wait to build your dream--the plans are ready, the lot is waiting, and the lifestyle is calling.
