A Rare Bayou Texar Waterfront Home in East Pensacola Heights
Some properties are about the house. Others are about the way you live in them.
This is one of those rare Pensacola properties where the setting defines the experience.
With approximately 94 feet of waterfront directly on Bayou Texar, protected deep water and a private dock, this one-of-a-kind East Pensacola Heights residence offers something increasingly difficult to find: a genuine connection to the water and natural world while remaining only about five minutes from Downtown Pensacola and 15 minutes from Pensacola Beach.
A Different Kind of Pensacola Waterfront Lifestyle
Living here means the outdoors becomes part of the house.
The home offers just over 2,000 square feet with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, but there is another dimension to the living space: nearly 811 square feet of defined outdoor living areas, plus an additional patio.
A spacious approximately 359-square-foot main deck overlooks Bayou Texar. Below, an approximately 294-square-foot waterfront patio connects to the lawn and canopy of mature live oaks. Above, an approximately 158-square-foot sky deck provides yet another perspective over the water and the enormous Northwest Florida sky.
Each level offers a different way to experience the bayou.
Morning coffee on the deck. An afternoon beneath the live oaks. Cocktails as the evening light moves across the water. From the elevated decks, changing weather becomes part of everyday life—summer clouds building in the distance, almost ever-present south and west sea breezes, brilliant sunsets and the subtle changes in light that make no two days quite the same.
In the morning, the rising sun illuminates the hillside and multimillion-dollar waterfront homes across the bayou.
Living With Bayou Texar
Live here and you come to know the bayou intimately—its pace, its personality and its subtle changes from one day to the next.
Dolphins move through the water. Herons work the shoreline. Eagles appear overhead. Redfish and jacks move beneath the surface, and even the occasional manatee makes an appearance. Kayakers, paddleboarders, fishermen and boats become part of the constantly changing view.
For a boater, the experience is even more compelling.
The protected deep-water setting and private dock put your boat just steps from home. From Bayou Texar, continue toward Pensacola Bay, the ship channel and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico.
And when you're not on the water, Downtown Pensacola is only minutes away.
A Home With Possibilities
Built in 1983, the residence has been carefully maintained and offers solid construction, Pella windows, a whole-house generator, three HVAC systems and a roof approximately five years old.
Its distinctive multi-level floor plan includes three bedrooms and 2.5 baths but lives particularly well as a two-suite retreat, making it an intriguing choice for a couple, single owner, second-home buyer or someone looking for a manageable lock-and-go waterfront residence.
The home is comfortable today while offering tremendous potential for a buyer with vision. Kitchens and bathrooms can be reimagined. Outdoor living spaces can evolve. Finishes can change.
The setting cannot.
East Pensacola Heights — Nature Without Isolation
Perhaps one of the most remarkable things about this property is the juxtaposition.
Sit beneath the live oaks and watch dolphins move through the bayou, yet be in Downtown Pensacola in approximately five minutes. Spend the morning boating from your own dock and be on Pensacola Beach in approximately 15 minutes.
It is an authentic, deeply rooted Pensacola lifestyle—water, weather, wildlife, boating, neighborhood and city all becoming part of everyday life.
There are larger waterfront houses. There are newer houses. There are houses with more elaborate finishes.
But there is only one property with this particular combination of approximately 94 feet on Bayou Texar, protected water, private dockage, elevated views, mature live oaks and an East Pensacola Heights location.
Everything that can be changed can be changed.
Everything that makes this property irreplaceable is already here.
This is more than a view of Bayou Texar. It is a way of living with it.
