The main residence offers a spacious primary suite with en-suite bath, a second bedroom, full guest bathroom, and a den, all oriented to the sea. A remodeled, 400± sq. ft. detached bunkhouse adds a flexible guest retreat or studiocomplete with kitchenette, full bath, and a private ocean-view deck. A stone fireplace anchors the living room, while modern infrastructure includes Starlink high-speed internet and an off-grid solar power system.
