        <title>10 Burnt Pine Lots for Sale</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Are you fortunate enough to be able to purchase a large estate-sized lot located at one of the most prestigious addresses along the Emerald Coast to build your ultimate dream home?


Then take a look at these exemplary offerings within the privileged residential community of Burnt Pine It is located on the bayside of the world-class Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. For those of you who may be new to the area, this gate guarded resort in Miramar Beach sprawls across 2,400 acres from the glorious Gulf of Mexico to the wide expanse of the beautiful Choctawhatchee Bay. Four championship golf courses meander across the lavishly landscaped forested grounds which are dotted with natural lagoons. This is a “self-contained” resort, which means that once you pass through the guarded gates, you have entered a wonderfully unique world that you never want to leave. Residents and their guests have the use of neighborhood swimming pools and access to the bright white beautiful beach. For almost a couple of decades, it was not open to the public until the charming Village of Baytowne Wharf was completed, followed by Grand Boulevard in recent years. Grand Boulevard, which serves as Sandestin’s swank upscale Town Center, is directly accessible off the Emerald Coast Parkway and just outside the east gate of Sandestin. Grand Boulevard has almost a dozen fine restaurants with clubby bars, fashion boutiques, clothiers, a gallery, Movie Theater, a wine outlet, and a Publix grocery store. Visitor entrance to Sandestin is provided with special guard gate passes, while cars with resident tags are automatically waved through. The captivating Village of Baytowne Wharf was architecturally styled to look like a picture-perfect version of the New Orleans French Quarter. It straddles a lovely lagoon beside the bay and has a long dock that juts out next to the Sandestin Yacht Club. The village features abundant restaurants, spirited bars, specialty shops, amusements for all ages, outdoor concerts, fun festivals year-round, and seasonal fireworks.


Burnt Pine is the exclusive private gated community within the already gated Sandestin Resort. It is just a short golf cart ride away from Baytowne Wharf. Opulent custom-built homes on landscaped forested estate-sized lots have varying styles of magnificent architecture. They are located on the bay, lake, and fairways of the Burnt Pine Golf Club. This is the most revered of all four eighteen-hole championship courses in Sandestin and was designed by Rees Jones. It was named “the crown jewel of Florida” by Golf Magazine.

        <title>Cheapest Waterfront Condo for Sale on Sandestin</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
The Bayside Inn at Sandestin resembles an upscale hotel with a gorgeous lobby, a beautiful waterfront setting, a large sparkling swimming pool, an expansive paver tiled patio for sunning and an onsite restaurant. However, individual one room units are privately owned for personal use and may also be rented out to others on a short-term basis for investment income. This location within the acclaimed exclusively gated 2,400 acre Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort provides a privileged lifestyle experience. Guests have free access to the beautiful beach via tram and may pay to play on championship golf courses. Baytowne Wharf is located on the resort nearby. This charming waterfront village is a picturesque nouveau version of the New Orleans French Quarter in its architectural styling, which offers a wide choice of restaurants, casual bars, free outdoor concerts, fun seasonal festivals, specialty shops and amusements of all kinds.   





The Bayside Inn received a major multi-million dollar makeover in recent years that included the new lobby and an expanded bayfront pool deck. This patio area is adorned with towering palms trees, an enchanting fountain and embellished with attractive poolside pergolas for shade. A promenade right beside the bay makes you feel like you are on a cruise ship enjoying watery views while overlooking the rails. A Tiki Bar is open seasonally for drinks and snacks with a music sound system providing a festive flair. Half of the units at the Bayside Inn overlook lagoons, and a golf course but the most sought after premier properties face the wide expanse of Choctawhatchee Bay. The balconies on the bay side allow you to not only enjoy a nice breeze but also to experience precious panoramic views across the water. Heavenly sunsets occur over the bay during the summer months, and full moons cast their glow there during other times of the year.





Bayside Inn 6276 is located on the beautiful bayside and is the only waterfront unit here that’s currently available for sale. This unique bay front studio is priced at $139,500 while two others on the golf course side are available at $119,000 and $129,900. Besides being the only bayside unit available, this 360 square foot studio has been completely renovated and includes a wall of custom cabinetry containing a king-sized Murphy bed that may be easily tucked away when not required. This expands the use of this space at other times particularly if you want to have a few friends over for drinks to enjoy the beautiful bay views from the balcony.





Faux marble tiled flooring flows throughout, and a new kitchenette area provides plenty of cabinetry, drawers, white counter space, a refrigerator, wet bar as well as a microwave oven. The full bath has also been remodeled with a formal pedestal sink, an elegant multi-beveled mirror and shower tub decorated with smart tile accents.   


Contact our Ocean Reef Real Estate Office at (877) 392-6085 for a professional consultation today as this listing won’t last long. We will provide more detailed information including a complimentary Comparative Market Analysis, a resort fee analysis, and vacation rental income data.

        <title>Churchill Oaks Real Estate Santa Rosa Beach</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Churchill Oaks is a stellar new exclusively gated residential community that provides a beautiful bay front setting for your ultimate dream home. It is located on 40-forested acres nestled beside Choctawhatchee Bay in Santa Rosa Beach on the inlet of Churchill Bayou. This convenient locale is just north of the Scenic 30A junction to Emerald Coast Parkway and less than five miles away from Miramar Beach.



The marvelous meticulously planned community includes a total of 95 home sites scattered across the shore of the bay and around two spring fed lakes that are stocked with Bass. Almost half of the 40 acre property is permanently set aside to preserve the natural lush landscaping providing a magical setting with a magnificent canopy of moss draped Live Oak trees, Magnolias, Palmetto Palms, towering Long Leaf Pines and indigenous native grasses.



An impressive gate completed with antique Chicago brick provides a formal private majestic entry into this tranquil forested world.



An eight foot wide elevated boardwalk meanders along almost one mile of the serene shoreline on the bay while interconnected well maintained nature trails traverse the entire interior and pass beside the lovely glassy lakes that mirror the sensational scenery. Lush lawns and natural open areas are scattered throughout the property and all of the home sites are either lakefront, bay front or have enchanting views of each in the distance. Each property has enough room for gracious courtyards, outdoor kitchens and lovely gardens that can blend seamlessly into the natural surroundings.



An 8,000 square foot Club House has a prominent position on a point overlooking the bay and bayou inlet. It is surrounded by three swimming pools with gurgling decorative fountains and an expansive patio for lounging in the sun. Walls of windows on three sides of this turreted brick building and open wrap around covered columned porches provide views of the shimmering pools. An outdoor bar is available for refreshing drinks. Indoors there is a full commercial kitchen and large private Gathering Rooms are available for private special events. There is also a Fitness Room, bathrooms, locker rooms and a state of the arts Media Room. Nearby is a 2,400 square foot pavilion with a 16-foot tall “walk-in” fireplace that is open on all four sides to provide a special place of warmth for social conviviality on crisp winter evenings.



Since this is a newer preplanned residential development there are still a lot of home sites to choose from and some completed masterpieces of design. You will become truly enchanted while driving past the gate under the canopy of southern moss draped trees, beside the sparkling spring fed lakes and over to the beautiful bay. A preferred list of ten community approved architectural firms has been selected to insure the paramount premier quality of custom designs for each home encompassing integral craftsmanship for the creation of a superior residential community. Architectural styles include various Americana inspired colonial designs that accentuate splendorous southern styling and classic grandeur.



There are currently three completed homes available for their new owners and two more that are under construction. They range in price from $1,445,000 to $1,695,000 for the completed masterpieces and $1,695,000 and $4,250,000 for those readying construction. Home sites are selectively being released for purchase with current property prices ranging from $250,000 for a lovely lakefront lot up to $1,200,000 for a bay front lot. Some lakefront lots also have views of the bay and are only priced at $275,000. Eight lots have been purchased or are under contact with a pending sale.
