Property Description
The year was 1974. The Brady Bunch was on TV, Gerald Ford was in the White House and the Peddle family of Oxford, Mississippi had just purchased a large parcel of gulf-front land in the middle of nowhere between the sleepy fishing village of Destin and popular Panama City, Florida. Dense with native oaks, magnolias and stocky green palmettos, they named the property Little Oaks. They drew up plans for what was, at the time, a wildly modern home and sited it on a breezy, 30-foot bluff overlooking the Gulf. The Peddle home was completed in 1975. A lush courtyard greeted guests and led them through a set of heavy, carved doors and into the cool interior.

Supplements
An open living area, featuring a freestanding stone fireplace and chimney, cedar beams and brick floors was perfect for entertaining. A spectacular wall of windows looked onto a covered deck that ran the length of the home and provided views of the turquoise water below. A private boardwalk dropped enticingly to the sugar-white sand.
Today, the Peddle estate remains virtually untouched by time, a tranquil oasis hidden among the hustle and bustle of Scenic Highway 30A. The sheer size of this parcel and the desirable "pivot" location make it an unheard of find in the area.
So now the question is: what would you do with Little Oaks? Live in the existing family home, enjoying the thick buffer of vegetation and Gulf-front views, or build your very own legacy home from the sand up?
Few properties like Little Oaks exist anymore. Those times are gone - but this opportunity is real and present. This is truly the kind of parcel that dreams are made of. We are here to help you solidify your offer to purchase this property. Contact us today!
