Set along the majestic St. Johns River in the gated enclave of River Story on a premium 1.01-acre homesite, this extraordinary custom estate by custom builder Andy Reynolds was completed in 2023 and represents the pinnacle of waterfront luxury. Boasting spectacular panoramic views of the St. Johns River from nearly every major living space, the home was thoughtfully designed to embrace its breathtaking setting while seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

Every inch of this home showcases exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design.
