There is also a deep carport on the side for a vehicle, golf cart, or other items. The coastal dune top village of Blue Mountain Beach boasts award-winning beaches with the highest elevation above the entire Gulf of Mexico. Hundreds of years ago, it got its name from Spanish explorers mapping the gulf coast from far offshore to avoid being attacked by Native Americans. They noticed what they thought was a “blue mountain” that rose high above the “beach” on each side and gave it this name. These explorers were actually seeing the tall towering hills along the shoreline, which were covered with indigenous Blue Lupine flowers. These forested hills rise above the gulf and wrap around a rare precious coastal dune lake. Lakes of this kind are a true natural treasure found hardly anywhere else in the world. Besides here along Scenic 30A, they are only found in Madagascar, New Zealand, Australia, and the state of Oregon. Creek-like tributaries across the sugary dunes connect artisan spring-fed waters from the lake to the salted gulf. Ongoing tidal action between the two creates a magical exotic mix creating a natural habitat for abundant wildlife, fish, and waterfowl. 





This special little residential hamlet is quite enchanting, with a few locally owned restaurants, friendly bars, a bakery, an old-fashioned ice cream parlor, some specialty shops, and local art galleries. The oldest health food store in Walton County, called For the Health of It, features organic produce, a juice bar, local honey, vitamins, CBD oils, Homeopathic remedies, scented soaps, and massage therapy. This locale is also near other coastal villages like Santa Rosa Beach and Seaside, featuring restaurants, beach bars, fashion boutiques, specialty shops, art galleries, amphitheater concerts, and fun seasonal festivals.





The open living, dining, and kitchen area includes multiple windows accentuating a spacious sunny look. Rustic beamed ceilings in the living area and parchment-toned tile flooring flow throughout. The living area includes a large, ornately adorned Franklin stove for heating, and an electric central HVAC system is in place.





A wide thick beamed portal provides entrance into the open kitchen with room for a dining table. It includes white appliances and cottage-styled cabinetry.





Take the hallway back to the large primary bedroom and guest bedroom. The primary bedroom encompasses 260 square feet.





A full hall bath has a marble tiled tub shower combination that serves both bedrooms. An additional half bath nearby is provided as a convenient powder room.





The home sits on a large corner lot partially enclosed by a railed fence with well-established maple trees, live oaks, tropical palmettos, and palm trees. The current house configuration can potentially provide many opportunities to put on an addition. At this price, for this sought-after location near Scenic 30A, you could also complete a teardown and build your own custom home.





This bargain-priced beach vacation home can also serve as a vacation rental property for extra income in this popular Blue Mountain Beach destination. Contact our Ocean Reef Real Estate Sales office at 877-392-6085 to take advantage of this outstanding purchase opportunity.

        <title>30A’s Only Beachfront Lot for Sale</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Scenic 30A has become a highly sought-after place to build on the bright white crystalline beach due to the heavenly idyllic lifestyle it offers. This land at Lot 1 Blue Mountain Rd is now available for sale. In fact, it is the only beachfront property currently available anywhere on Scenic 30A. It sits high upon a sugary white dune in Blue Mountain Beach, nearly twenty-four feet above sea level providing optimum protection. A seawall down below that extends over fifty linear feet across.





This property encompasses almost one-quarter acre and used to be the location of an older beach house which was removed to make space for a new one. For this reason, the grounds near the street side include established tropical landscaping, which has been growing for many years and provides a more private setting. It is a deep lot that extends over 350 linear feet from the road to the high tide line along the private beach.





A generous building pad can accommodate a three-story tall home with ample garage space on the lower level. The first floor level of a new home would provide stunning views of the jewel-toned gulf almost 24 feet above the beach below. This lower level would be the perfect location for a sun patio, swimming pool, and a bubbling hot tub where you could enjoy the sensational seascape. The top two levels would offer even more glorious panoramic vistas into the southern horizon and across the shimmering shoreline.





This stellar location is special in more ways than one. Not only is it gulf front, but it is positioned in the heart of Blue Mountain Beach with convenient access to S Co Hwy 83. This location places you minutes away from grocery stores, restaurants, and a wide variety of delightful diversions at the enchanting Village of Baytowne Wharf and the swank Grand Boulevard at Sandestin. It is also within walking distance of a creek-like connection to the open gulf from Big Redfish Lake. Coastal dune lakes of this kind are a rare natural treasure found hardly anywhere else in the world. Regular ongoing tidal action creates a magical mixture of salt and fresh artisan spring-fed water. This creates an abundant natural habitat for wildlife, waterfowl, and a wide array of fish. These highly unique and pristine settings are fun to explore, fish, paddleboard, or kayak.





Blue Mountain Beach has the highest elevation along the entire Gulf of Mexico. The twenty-five-foot dunes near the beach reach over sixty-four feet tall in the neighboring forested hills. Blue Mountain Beach was named by early Spanish explorers mapping the gulf's coastline from afar to keep safe from unfriendly Native Americans. They noticed what they thought was a &quot;blue mountain&quot; rising above the flat &quot;beach&quot; on each side and named it such. They were actually seeing the towering dunes and forested hills, which at that time were covered with abundant Blue Lupine flowers.





This part of Walton County is renowned for being blessed with over 15,000 acres of protected forests and state beach parks. Grayton Beach State Park is less than three miles away from Blue Mountain Beach towards the east. It was recently named one of the most beautiful coastlines in America. It features almost 2,000 acres of preserved forests, a beautiful beach, shimmering dunes, pristine wetlands, and another exotic coastal dune lake. A nature path meanders through the expansive forest in each direction for 4.5 miles available for hiking or trail biking. Besides the serene scenery, adventurers may spot white-tailed deer, squirrels, rabbits, gray foxes, and an occasional black bear. Seagulls, great blue herons, snowy white egrets, osprey hawks, and American bald eagles can be seen soaring overhead or fishing near the shore.





The coastal village of Blue Mountain Beach itself is mostly residential with a charming, almost Bohemian-type atmosphere and home to some local artists. It also features popular restaurants, an old-fashioned ice cream parlor, a wonderful bakery, and Walton county's oldest health food store. Here, visitors can purchase organic produce, smoothies, homeopathic remedies, Tupelo honey, scented soaps, candles, as well as massage therapy. This locale is less than three miles away from picturesque coastal villages in each direction. Iconic Seaside towards the east hosts seasonal festivals, free live music concerts in their outdoor amphitheater, fireworks on special holidays, restaurants, beach bars, boutiques, and galleries. The Santa Rosa Beach village center of Gulf Place towards the west is also very nearby. It features a large palm-lined outdoor amphitheater bordered by restaurants, specialty shops, and galleries. It also features live concerts, seasonal festivities, and art shows throughout the year.

The coastal village of Blue Mountain Beach boasts award-winning beaches and marks the highest elevation above the entire Gulf of Mexico. It got its unusual name hundreds of years ago from Spanish explorers who were mapping the gulf coast from far offshore to avoid being attacked by Native Americans.

These explorers actually saw the tall towering hills here covered with indigenous blue Lupine flowers. These forested hills rise high above the gulf and wrap around a rare precious coastal dune lake. Lakes of this kind are a true natural treasure and found hardly anywhere else in the world. They provide a natural habitat for abundant wildlife, fish, and fowl.
