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.
