317 le grand drive

317 Le Grand Drive was built on a simple idea: a beach house shouldn't have to choose between effortless and exceptional. Five bedrooms, four and a half baths plus a half bath off the pool, 2,572 square feet, sleeping up to 12 - this is a brand-new build designed around the way people actually want to spend a week at the beach. Mornings start on one of two covered balconies with Gulf views, close enough to the water to hear it roll in while the coffee's still hot, and the beach itself is a golf cart ride away, about a minute down the road, in a neighborhood built for exactly that pace. The rest of the day plays out around a heated saltwater pool and spa with a tanning ledge and custom seating, a summer kitchen and grill, and a patio wired for outdoor sound. A one-car garage plus five additional parking spaces means the whole group arrives - cars, golf cart, and all - without anyone circling the block. Inside, the details do the talking. White oak floors run through the upstairs living spaces, the kitchen centers on a ten-foot quartzite island anchored by Fisher & Paykel professional-grade appliances, and the primary suite is finished in marble from floor to shower. An outdoor shower off the pool deck keeps sandy feet from ever making it past the door. Designer lighting and quality furnishings carry that same level of care into every room, and the home is sold fully furnished, right down to the tools in the garage - an owner or a guest can walk in and start enjoying it immediately, whether that's the first night of ownership or the first night of a rental booking. What sets this house apart, though, is what a typical buyer never thinks to ask about until it's missing. The building envelope is fully sealed - hurricane-rated impact windows and doors, sealed sheathing and drainage layers built to shrug off salt air and storms, and a permanent termite pretreatment poured directly into the slab. Every interior wall carries sound-dampening insulation, so the house is as quiet inside as it is solid outside. For anyone who pays attention to what they're breathing, there's a dedicated fresh-air system pulling filtered outside air through the home around the clock, paired with a whole-house dehumidifier that keeps humidity and moisture in check year-round. That same forward-thinking carries into the everyday conveniences - whole-home WiFi and wired Cat6 connectivity, 24/7 security cameras with no subscription required, and power already run to the garage for an EV charger. This is a house built by someone thinking about year twenty, not just the open house. Location is where this address really sets itself apart. Pier Park is fifteen minutes away, with its shopping, waterfront dining, Topgolf, and a Pirates Voyage dinner show that becomes the story of the trip. Ten minutes the other way down 30A leads to Rosemary Beach and its neighboring villages, known for boutiques, restaurants, and coastal design. Two of the Gulf Coast's best days out, both close enough to fit into an ordinary week here rather than a special occasion. That combination - genuine walk-to-golf-cart beach access, a house engineered for air quality and built to outlast decades of coastal weather, and a location that pulls equally from Panama City Beach's biggest attractions and 30A's polish - is what elevates this property from a beach house into an asset built to perform for as long as you own it. 317 Le Grand Drive is the kind of new construction that gets better the longer you look at it, built to be lived in, rented, and enjoyed for decades to come.
