Forgotten Coast Real Estate


Thinking of investing, moving, or just looking for a place to escape the cold? There’s no place better than the Forgotten Coast. Give us a call or drop us a line and we’ll be happy to help you with any questions you have!

Value. Waterfront property has historically always been an excellent investment. While nationwide the market may ebb and flow, homes and land near or on the water tend to hold their value if not appreciate in value. It’s no exception here. In fact, thanks to the various features of the Forgotten Coast, it's been one of the nation’s leaders in solid real estate investment.

Fun. On the Forgotten Coast you have three different places to enjoy the water. The rivers, the bays and the gulf. The Apalachicola River is part of the Intracoastal Waterway which is navigable from Carrabelle, FL to Brownsville, TX. Canoe, kayak, water-ski, explore. It’s beautiful. The pristine Apalachicola Bay is known around the world for its plentiful and delicious oysters. Grab your tongs and a bottle of hot sauce! If you’d rather deep-sea fish, there’s always the Gulf of Mexico. Not to mention the white sand beaches of St. George Island and Cape San Blas.

Pace of life. No one’s in a rush on the Forgotten Coast. Why should they be? Everything has remained practically the same for the last 100 years or so. Highway 98 meanders along the beautiful coast. Walk or ride your bike to the charming boutiques and award-winning restaurants housed in 19th century cotton warehouses in Apalachicola. Move here and you’ll soon be a part of the friendly and vibrant community, but you’ll find no hustle, no bustle, no stress and very little traffic.
