Endless westerly vistas stretch across Madison Bay, delivering breathtaking sunsets that feel like a private showing each and every evening. This is more than a home—it’s a waterfront sanctuary designed for those who expect their lifestyle to be as elevated as their surroundings. Welcome to Saltmarsh, an extraordinary 8.5-acre estate where luxury, privacy, and coastal beauty converge. With 5 bedrooms (plus a bonus room that could be considered a 6th) and 3 full bathrooms, this property effortlessly transitions between an exceptional full-time residence and the ultimate weekend retreat for unforgettable gatherings with friends and family. Spanning over 5,000 square feet, the home is thoughtfully designed to maximize both space and scenery, with walls of windows that flood the interior with natural light and showcase those sweeping bay views from nearly every room. The main level is nothing short of an entertainer’s masterpiece—an open-concept layout anchored by a stunning great room, seamlessly flowing into a chef’s gourmet kitchen and sun-drenched sunroom on one side, while the opposite wing reveals a full-scale game room complete with a pool table and custom bar built for hosting on any scale. Step outside and the experience only gets better. Multiple expansive decks offer the perfect setting for everything from quiet mornings to lively evenings, all framed by panoramic water views. At the private dock, every detail has been accounted for—featuring water and electric, two jet ski lifts, and a 10,000-pound boat lift—creating a true waterfront playground. The oversized 3-bay garage provides ample space for all your water toys, equipment, and more—because a property like this is meant to be enjoyed without compromise. Offered fully furnished, Saltmarsh is completely turnkey—allowing you to step right into an effortless, elevated coastal lifestyle from day one. This is not just a home—it’s a statement.
