Show Homes

A labor of love and hard work over two years in the making, The Heritage – A VIE Legacy Show Home is truly a one-of-a-kind residence that presents its future owners with boundless opportunities for making memories on the Gulf of Mexico. Located conveniently in the private enclave of Heritage Dunes, a gated beachside community in Seagrove Beach, Florida, this 4,871-square-foot masterpiece is the first of nine custom houses to be developed in the neighborhood by Bella Mare Real Estate Holdings. Owners and developers Carl and Tamara Tricoli fell in love with the white sands and beautiful architecture along Scenic Highway 30-A many years ago and bought a Gulf-front home there around 2010. It is our pleasure to present this architectural beauty and a behind-the-scenes look at its creation.

Listen to that—can you hear the waves crashing on sand? The sense of serenity and luxury is unparalleled as you step into the vaulted foyer of the VIE Beach House – A Show Home in the quaint residential community of Seagrove Beach, Florida. This brand-new single-family residence showcases a beach-house-meets-bohemian style designed to promote the ideal coastal life. Custom finishes and furnishings, inspired artwork, and top-of-the-line amenities converge in this peaceful oasis inspired by nature. The homesite is tucked into the area’s lush landscape, steps from scenic trails and one block from the white-sand beach and Gulf of Mexico.

Mike and Angela Ragsdale, owners and founders of the 30A brand and beloved members of our community, embarked on an that mirrors a lifestyle they are embracing—one that is uncluttered and pure. Following the personal tragedy of their beautiful home on the Choctawhatchee Bay being flooded and subsequently demolished, a rebirth of sorts occurred. The Ragsdales began the process of rebuilding and realized they want to live differently: living with less so they can experience more. And so was born their new home concept that focuses on simplicity and relaxation.

Coastal sensibilities and a sophisticated ambience distinguish this most recent incarnation of a storied house nestled amid the dunes overlooking the Gulf of Mexico in WaterSound Beach, Florida. The provenance of a house can often be a reflection of the history of the place. The old saying “If these walls could talk” usually implies hidden confidences that occurred within. However, it is the story of how this home in WaterSound Beach, Florida, so accurately mirrors the dramatic ups and downs—and ups again—of the volatile real estate market along Scenic Highway 30-A that is noteworthy.

Welcome to the Maison de VIE Lookbook. Take a stroll and savor the elegant home of inspirational ideas envisioned by Scott Kurfirst and Jim Accola of Coastal Elements Construction and Suzy Accola of Q Tile. The home was beautifully brought to life by the architect of record, Tammy Massey Architecture and Interior Design, along with landscape architect Chad Horton of Destin-based Horton Land Works. The principals at Coastal Elements describe the home’s personality as “coastal elegance,” and we couldn’t agree more!
