\n\tRetired racecar driver Hurley Haywood, who built his career on stamina, is waving the checkered flag on the Florida<\/a> retreat he custom built for the long haul more than a decade ago, putting his stunning coastal residence in St. Augustine<\/a> up for grabs at\u00a0$5.2 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tFew drivers can match Haywood\u2019s resume. He is one of a rare group to win endurance racing\u2019s Triple Crown, with triumphs at the 24 Hours of Le Mans<\/a>, the Rolex 24 at Daytona<\/a>, and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Retiring in 2012 after a 40-year career, he chose Florida\u2019s historic Gulf Coast to slow down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the listing agents Jane Chefan and Jessica Chefan Hansen of One Sotheby\u2019s International Realty, the legendary endurance driver bought the property in 2012 for $725,000 and chose to build his dream home from scratch, rather than renovating the original structure.<\/p>\n

\n\tSet within one of St. Augustine\u2019s most desirable waterfront enclaves and an easy walk from downtown, the roughly 4,200-square-foot residence was designed by\u00a0Cronk Duch Architects<\/a>. Inside, soaring ceilings and a sweeping wooden staircase create a striking first impression, while rich heart-of-pine floors ground the bright interiors and black-framed French doors open to picturesque water views.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe central kitchen anchors the home\u2014a chef-ready space with high-end appliances and an open layout that connects directly to the living and dining areas. Nearby, a tailored wet bar with custom cabinetry and a 140-bottle Sub-Zero wine cooler stands ready for post-dinner pours.<\/p>\n

\n\tPremium perks, including a private theater, a sauna, a residential elevator, a whole-house Sonos system, and a built-in safe, are thoughtfully integrated, while two detached casitas provide flexibility for guests, extended family, or an executive office suite.<\/p>\n

\n\tUpstairs, the primary suite leans serene, with oversized windows and a marble-clad bath featuring a water-view soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower. Out back, the property settles fully into resort territory with a heated saltwater lap pool, a cabana bath, and a gas fire pit overlooking the water. A newer dock has been decked out with boat and jet ski lifts, and, in a detail that feels especially on-brand, the three-car garage comes equipped with a vehicle lift\u2014a subtle nod to Haywood\u2019s racing pedigree.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter building a vaunted career defined by tenacious staying power, it\u2019s no surprise Haywood\u2019s home reflects the same philosophy\u2014thoughtfully designed, carefully constructed, and built to withstand the test of time.<\/p>\n
