Elegant $15.4 Million-Inspired Alys Beach Retreat is the Epitome of Quiet Luxury
A Moroccan-inspired retreat on the Gulf Coast brings a dose of exotic luxury to Florida’s luxury market—and an opportunity for one discerning, albeit deep-pocketed, buyer to acquire a truly unique oceanfront property.
The stunning residence at 45 Lagarza Court in Alys Beach, which just hit the market for $15.4 million, offers a unique beach lifestyle—seemingly more of a vacation destination than a primary residence.
Located along State Road 30A, which is one of Florida’s most scenic drives, the home spans 5,300 square feet and combines the classic architecture of Alys Beach with the rugged beauty of North Africa.
“This unique residence offers the ultimate entertainment dream, combining luxurious design and amenities to create an unparalleled living experience,” says the listing for the home, which was built in 2018.
Lantern-lit hallways, intricate tiling, and a central courtyard create an elevated aesthetic not found on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Even with its unique design, the place blends seamlessly into the surroundings, creating a kind of “quiet luxury” that is attractive, but not overdone.
“The home was designed to reflect the architectural character that makes Alys Beach so unique,” said the listing agent. Brad Dahlerof the Compass.
“The community draws from Mediterranean and global influences, and this property embodies this vision through its courtyard design, architecture, and seamless interior living.”
At the center of the four-bedroom house is a stunning courtyard, a hallmark of Moroccan design, where a tiled pool joins a series of intimate gathering spaces.
The courtyard not only emphasizes the local ties to its Moroccan inspiration, but also conducts indoor-outdoor living in a stylish way.
“The pool in the middle of the courtyard is one of the highlights,” says Dahler. “The main living areas open directly onto it, creating a seamless transition between the indoor living room and the pool area.”
Designed with entertaining in mind, the courtyard has an integrated bar and grill. Additionally, the detached casita offers guests a private bedroom and full bath while still being connected to the main house.
Inside, craftsmanship meets modern luxury. Custom millwork, sculpted built-ins, and select finishes add character to every space, while the primary suite features hand-painted murals and layered murals that create a tranquil retreat.
The kitchen includes wood cabinetry and a blue and white tile backsplash. There is also luxury furniture and a large island.
Bathrooms feature sculpted soaking tubs, gold-plated fixtures, and luxurious finishes. A decked outdoor terrace takes things to the next level.
“The rooftop adds another layer to the experience with a second heated pool, outdoor bar, grill, and fire pit lounge overlooking Alys Beach,” said Dahler.
The property’s location is in the heart of one of Florida’s most unique beach communities. Palmera Park, Caliza Pool, Gulf Green, and the white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico are all within walking or biking distance.
“What makes this home truly unique is the combination of experiences it offers,” said Dahler. “It’s rare to find a residence with backyard and rooftop pools, a private guest casita, and multiple indoor living spaces.”
And the result is stunning—a home that blurs the lines between worldly luxury and refined beach living on Florida’s Emerald Coast.
