Fairways Homes for Sale

Living in Fairways

Walton County's legal lines place Fairways on four recorded phases, each tied to a plat book page: 5-62 for Phase I, 5-68 for Phase II, 6-4 for Phase III and 6-38 for Phase IV. They line up with four parcel-number series, 42150 through 42180, holding 13, 70, 34 and 33 identifiers, 150 in all, with one common-area parcel in each phase. The roll codes 84 identifiers as single-family and 60 as townhouse, but 12 of the 84 are garage parcels numbered 167A through 170C in Phase IV, which leaves 132 parcels that read as homes. Townhouse coding appears in Phases I through III only. Phase IV holds single-family lots, those garages, its common area and one vacant parcel whose legal refers to a block labeled A Future, and one identifier in the Phase III series has no use code or legal text on the roll.

All 156 address rows, which cover the 150 identifiers because two common-area parcels are mapped in four pieces each, carry the county's unincorporated jurisdiction value, and a test point inside every parcel outline returned no municipality from the county's city-boundary layer. Miramar Beach and ZIP 32550 appear on all 135 rows that have a street address, which makes Miramar Beach a mailing label here and not a city government. Of those 135 rows, 119 carry the place name FAIRWAYS @ SANDESTIN. The other 21 rows have no address assigned: the twelve garages, seven common-area rows, the vacant parcel and the blank identifier. Streets are Sandestin Boulevard West, Audubon Drive, Eagle Drive, Cove Drive, Cove Drive South and Kingfisher Drive.

Across the 150 identifiers, a point set inside each parcel and read against FEMA's national map lands 45 times in minimal-hazard Zone X and 77 times in the shaded band of Zone X that FEMA draws for a one in 500 yearly chance of flooding. Another 26 land in Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 7 feet, one in unnumbered Zone A, and one parcel straddles AE and X across its separate pieces. Walton County's own flood layer returns the same zone at every one of those points.

Fairways appears by name on the neighborhood management roster that the Sandestin Owners Association posts, and that association's owner guide says its annual assessment pays for security, most common-area roads and drainage, landscape, lakes, sanitation and two pools. The same guide says the resort company owns and runs tennis, bicycle rentals, beach service and the beach club, and that the assessment does not fund the resort's operations or the amenities it owns. Ask the Fairways association for its declaration, budget and rules before assigning any cost or right.
