A unique opportunity is available to buy a bank-owned property located only a block away from the jewel toned waters of the Gulf of Mexico at Inlet Beach. This could be the story of the ugly duckling and the swan. The “ugly duckling” in this case is an unusual octagonal shaped home located here that is not by any means ugly, but has a very creative different design. The “swan” of value is the vacant property around it that is at a highly sought after location in a prestigious residential community located at the far end of South Walton’s Scenic 30A, known as Inlet Beach.  The neighboring homes around it are multi-million dollar mansions and it is just an arrow’s shot away from the premier community of Rosemary Beach.

Blue Mountain Beach has the distinction of being the highest elevation along the Gulf of Mexico. Hundreds of years ago Spanish explorers who were mapping this part of the coast in the New World and saw “blue” colored “mountains” along a beautiful beach. They were a few miles away from the land because they had been attacked by hostile natives in southwestern Florida during their journey up the coast and did not want to get too close. What they actually saw were hills covered with Blue Lupine flowers rising mountain-like above the flat shoreline that flanked it on both sides. The English translation of the name “Blue Mountain Beach” remains to this day!

It is appropriate that a large retail-shopping complex on this spot is named High Point at Blue…

But it’s a huge investment, and not one to be made with any less diligence than any other home purchase. Before signing the paperwork, do ample research into the local area and what owning a second property could mean for you even while you’re at your full-time home.
