13809 Bay Ave Panama City Beach, FL 32413

Own a true piece of American history just steps from the sugar-white sands in the highly sought-after Bid-A-Wee Beach community of Panama City Beach. Originally constructed during the Cold War era as barracks housing for military personnel, this remarkable property blends historic character with modern-day investment potential--offering a story as special as the location itself. Situated on a rare double lot with two separate addresses, this is widely considered one of the premier parcels in Bid-A-Wee. The expansive homesite offers exceptional flexibility, including the potential to build two stunning three-story homes, create a multi-generational beach compound, or maximize returns with future development. Short-term rentals are allowed, and there is no HOA, making this an increasingly rare and valuable opportunity. The existing duplex features 4 bedrooms and 4 fully renovated bathrooms, with more than $70,000 in recent improvements. Each side lives like its own private residence--perfect for renting both for maximum income, occupying one side while renting the other, or holding as an investment while planning future construction. With projected rental potential reaching up to $100,000 annually, the income possibilities are substantial. Owners and guests enjoy exclusive private access to five gated Bid-A-Wee Beach entrances, just a short walk away, offering a quieter, more private beach experience reserved only for property owners and their guests. Whether you envision building signature beach homes, creating a legacy property, or securing a high-performing investment with immediate income, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Bid-A-Wee's most iconic and versatile properties.
