Here is an interesting real estate investment opportunity to purchase a brand new professional office complex at 2930 West County Highway 30A in South Walton's Blue Mountain Beach.

Although many are purchased as "second homes," changing demographics are making this area a popular place for primary homes among aging Baby Boomers and others who are nearing retirement.

This faded former Grand Dame of a home has a gracious setting beside the bright white beach overlooking the jeweled waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It was built in 1945 and movie stars from Hollywood’s Golden Era like Bette Davis or Joan Crawford would have surely loved to have had it as their beach home. The exteriors and established grounds of this .36 acre gulf front home have that era’s styling. The walled-in property features towering Royal Palms along with rows of Sega Palms that adorn patios in the front and others that span the entire width of the beach.

An established real estate sales trend is continuing to grow in Destin, Miramar Beach, and along Scenic 30A in South Walton due to aging Baby Boomers and others. A significant proportion of the population is thinking more about the value of family time and also making plans for retirement income.

Those who have vacationed here over the years are starting to buy places of their own, and many rent them out for lucrative income as well. Property management companies like our sister division Ocean Reef Resorts make it…

Stylish, sexy, and modern?  Yes modern!  

Here along the coast of Northwest Florida, most homes are influenced by the beach.  Fortunately, our version of coastal decor is stylish and doesn't mean coral print sofas and sculptures of seahorses (anymore).  And yes, a home can be sexy and most are here.  What is rare in South Walton, however, is a modern home. None-the-less, a modern home at a reasonable price point! That was until this new oasis of well-priced contemporary homes sprung up next to our beloved Eden Gardens State Park in historic Point Washington.

You may be familiar with Eden Garden State Park, which is centered upon the beautiful grounds of a classic antebellum mansion that was the home of a timber magnate in the late 1800s. With that said,…
