A Buyer’s Guide to Coastal Living in the heart of Gulf County, Florida!
Welcome to Magnolia Bluff, a hidden gem along 👉 Florida’s Forgotten Coast. Tucked between Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe, this peaceful community offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle just steps from the Gulf. Whether you’re planning your forever home, a second getaway, or a smart long-term investment, Magnolia Bluff is the perfect blend of opportunity and ease.
This ready-to-build ¼-acre homesite presents a unique advantage: a pre-existing slab foundation, architectural plans, and survey data—meaning you can skip the delays and jump straight into your build. Located just 0.4 miles from public beach access, you’ll enjoy the convenience of a golf cart-friendly neighborhood close to local shops, dining, and boat ramps.
For those seeking a simplified path to construction, the seller is offering an optional pre-construction package in collaboration with a licensed builder and lender. Choose a turnkey build or manage the process independently—either way, the groundwork is already in place.
Located in a federally designated Opportunity Zone, the lot comes with potential tax benefits, increasing its appeal to investors.
Magnolia Bluff is more than a location—it’s a lifestyle. Spend your days scalloping in the bay, paddle-boarding in the calm Gulf waters, or relaxing on dog-friendly beaches. You’ll also be minutes from vibrant coastal communities like Mexico Beach, Port St. Joe, Cape San Blas, and St. George Island, all known for charming shops, local seafood, and a strong sense of community.
This is your chance to build in one of Gulf County’s most accessible and desirable neighborhoods.
RVs and 5th wheels may be stored on the property when housed in a garage, per HOA guidelines.
