The Heritage – A VIE Legacy Show Home

Debuts Fall 2022

As the winds gently whisper through the sea oats on the dunes, a new legacy is born near the Gulf of Mexico. The Heritage – A VIE Legacy Show Home is a brand-new residence coming Summer 2022 to the Heritage Dunes community just off Scenic Highway 30-A in Northwest Florida. Located on 30-A but not of 30-A, the Southern coastal design of the home evokes an unrivaled sense of refined living akin to the classic elegance of Ralph Lauren meets beachside life.

The VIE Show Home is the first of nine new homes developed by Bella Mare Real Estate Holdings, LLC, in this gated, rental-restricted community. Comprising only thirty homesites, Heritage Dunes embodies a dream for its future homeowners to embrace gracious living within a stunning generational enclave. The community offers a private beach, a grotto-style pool, and peaceful luxury beneath swaying palms. The developers at Bella Mare Real Estate Holdings chose this legacy community for their latest project for its central location in the heart of 30-A.

Gerald F. Burwell, the principal architect of Burwell Associates, Inc., created the VIE Show Home with a layout that will inspire those who reside in it while connecting them with the land, the nearby white-sand shores, and the emerald Gulf waters. The following eight homes, also designed by Burwell, will be just as stunning. Each has its own custom design and character, so there are no “cookie-cutter” houses in Heritage Dunes, embracing a sense of place and the values of a lifestyle that will bring pride to the neighborhood and its neighbors.

Meet the team behind The Heritage – A VIE Legacy Show Home and more as we prepare for a grand opening celebration in September of 2022, featuring a one-man art show by Julian Lennon. The world-renowned musician, author, philanthropist, and photographer was on the cover of VIE’s hundredth issue in February, and show home interior designer Duce May has selected several of Lennon’s photographs to grace the walls of The Heritage.

The grand opening tour is sure to be an elegant multi-evening series of music, great food, and fabulous company. We can’t wait to share more details as planning continues. Bravo to these talented professionals for all they are doing to bring this legacy home and its successors in Heritage Dunes to life!
