CUSTOM BUILT IN 2022 | 1.1 ACRES | FLOOD ZONE X | NO HOA | WATER VIEW | ROOM TO EXPAND
Welcome to 7225 Bay Crest Road, a custom home offering 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 2,423 square feet, an oversized two car garage, and approximately 1.1 acres directly across from Gainer Bayou. Built in late 2022, this property combines privacy, quality construction, extensive custom finishes, and room for a future workshop, RV or boat storage, or even a pool.
The home was built with 2x6 exterior wall framing, additional hurricane structural hardware, continuous threaded rods extending from the foundation to the roofline, impact rated windows and exterior doors, Hardie Board siding and trim, and a full gutter system. This home has a current annual homeowners insurance premium of approximately $1,315 / year, subject to buyer verification, carrier approval, coverage, and individual underwriting.
The exterior features decorative shake accents, board and batten detailing, custom window trim and shutters, stone accented porch columns, and a front entry with an approximately 13.5 foot covered ceiling. The expansive covered front porch provides approximately 618 square feet of outdoor living space and looks across Bay Crest Road toward Gainer Bayou. Additional improvements include a covered 12 by 18.5 foot pergola completed in June 2026, landscape lighting, a 20 foot flagpole, wired security cameras, a driveway gate alarm, and a 10 by 12 foot storage building which features an additional carport space and covered area overlooking the backyard.
Inside, the home offers 10 foot ceilings in the Great Room, kitchen, and dining area, with 9 foot ceilings throughout the rest of the home. Crown molding, Craftsman style trim, and transom windows create a bright interior. Luxury vinyl plank flooring extends through most of the home, with carpet only in the primary bedroom and one guest bedroom.
The Great Room includes a custom built in entertainment center, electric fireplace, and built in surround sound. A separate recreation and bonus room offers approximately 350 square feet with direct outdoor access and an additional stereo system, making it ideal for a media room, game room, office, gym, or second living area.
The kitchen features an oversized island with extra cabinetry and storage, granite countertops, under cabinet lighting, and a dedicated coffee station with a pot filler. The large walk in butler's pantry includes custom cabinetry, built in shelving, extensive storage, and a built in ice maker.
The oversized laundry room includes a utility sink and connects directly to the primary closet for easy access between the laundry area, closet, and primary bathroom. Additional insulation between the bedrooms and main living areas, and between the laundry room and primary suite, helps reduce sound. Solid core bedroom doors provide added privacy.
Other features include blinds throughout, a switched soffit outlet for holiday lighting, an additional exterior water shutoff, city water, and septic. The oversized garage has insulated exterior walls, pull down attic access, storage above, and a dedicated switch that allows the garage air conditioning to operate when desired.
Located in Flood Zone X with no HOA, this property offers freedom, privacy, and room to make it your own. Flood insurance is generally not required by most mortgage lenders for homes in Flood Zone X, although buyers should confirm individual lender and insurance requirements.
Public boat launches less than five minutes away provide access to Deer Point Lake, surrounding bayous, Gulf waters, and Shell Island. You are about five minutes from Lynn Haven and the Southport Sports Complex, under 20 minutes from ECP Airport, and around 30 minutes from Pier Park and Tyndall Air Force Base.
This is more than a newer home on acreage. It is a carefully engineered and extensively upgraded custom property built for durability, comfort, and long term enjoyment.
