Description:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: It is NOT possible to moor a boat at the house (dock, lift). The house does have boat access, but no boat can be docked. You can find more restrictions below.

The estate home Calafugium is one of the outstanding properties in the city. On more than 4,500 sq. ft. of air-conditioned living area, it offers 4 bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, a gym with sauna and full bathroom (including steam bath), a guest bathroom, a fantastic pool and entertainment area (including spa and pool bar), outdoor kitchen, several sitting and lounge areas and a large boat dock. Attractive neighborhood, quick boating access to the Gulf of Mexico without any bridges or locks (direct sailboat access).

The tower-suite is not connected to the living area. Access is only possibly via outside spiral stair case, which is only suitable for people who are healthy and strong enough to climb these stairs. The same is true for the tower roof-top terrasse.

DISCLOSURE: 

POOL: Pool is big and has no pool enclosure. It is more exposed to the elements than other pools. Many people find this more attractive because it feels more “natural” and “outside”. However, there are negative aspects as well: Due to the size and vanishing edge design, heating of the large pool is challenging in cooler weather. A pool blanket cannot be used on this pool. Therefore, if there are winter-days with low air temperature, the pool might not reach the desired water temperature. In these situations, the spa can be heated separately for several hours during the day. In certain (rare) situations pool cleaning can take a few days before it can be used again.

BOAT: Owners left their big boat at the dock, impairing the water view (we can send pictures).
