At 409 North Sawyer, St. George Island, the sunsets are exquisite. Watch the fish jump. Drop a line off the dock, or just wait for the sun to go down over the bay — from your own back deck, every evening. Three bedrooms, two baths, and 90 feet of bay frontage to call your own. Remodeled top to bottom. The kitchen is completely new, including a reworked layout, all new cabinets, and all new appliances. The bathrooms are new. The decks are new. The AC units, inside and out, are new. Even the seawall has been reinforced with rock. The heavy lifting is done. Water at your doorstep. Your own private dock puts fishing a few steps from the door, and the calm bay makes launching a kayak or paddleboard effortless — no trailer, no boat ramp, no waiting in line. Room to gather. Underneath the house, a screened living area gives you shaded, bug-free entertaining space — the spot where everyone ends up after a day on the water. Truly turnkey. The home is being sold furnished, and that includes the golf cart, the kayaks, and the paddleboard. Show up with a suitcase and you're on island time by the afternoon. On Florida's Forgotten Coast, where the pace is slower and the crowds thinner, 90 feet of bayfront with direct water access and this level of updating doesn't come along often. Come sit awhile and see for yourself. Write a message

STOP. This is the Forgotten Coast property people swear doesn't exist anymore. The moment you step onto Cat Point Hideaway, the high-rises, traffic, and cookie-cutter developments fade away. In their place: 1.33 acres of pure coastal sanctuary--sprawling live oaks, native palms, and whispering pines along the shoreline of the Apalachicola Bay. 50+ acres of state-owned preserve surround the grounds of Cat Point Hideaway adding to this nature lover's paradise. Perched right in the middle of it all is a luxury 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath bayfront home designed for effortless living: Main Level: Features open-concept living, kitchen, and dining areas that keep the Bay front and center, along with two comfortable bedrooms, a full bath, and a half bath. Upper Level: The primary suite opens to a private balcony overlooking the water, alongside a fourth bedroom with ample space for extended family and guests.

Wake up to coffee on your balcony, launch a kayak from the sandy shore, or watch the wildlife near the pond. Spend your afternoon on the white sands of St. George Island, then head home to rinse off in the outdoor shower, fire up the grill, and unwind around the fire pit or in the hot tub. This house is designed with the outdoor enthusiast in mind, under-house parking easily accommodates boats, RVs, and recreational toys. The fish-cleaning station and nearby campground-style grill are meant for enjoying the day's catch of Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Spanish or Tripletail.
