Cypress Breeze Plantation Homes for Sale

An inland Santa Rosa Beach subdivision whose five recorded phases carry 190 parcels across about 52.8 acres, where county flood mapping holds ground on 66 parcels and mapped freshwater wetland on 69, so both answers have to be pulled for the individual address rather than read off the community.

About Cypress Breeze Plantation

Cypress Breeze Plantation is larger than its name reaches, and the gap is the first thing to understand about it. Read off the county's parcel identifier series rather than off the plat name, the subdivision runs to 190 parcels over about 52.81 acres in five recorded phases: 170 lots carrying a finished house, 13 vacant residential lots, 5 streets and common areas parcels held by the associations, and two large tracts assessed in the class the state uses for drainage and low lying ground, one of about 6.84 acres recorded as conservation easements and one of about 1.84 acres at the entrance. Set the two tracts and the common ground aside and the residential lots themselves cover about 44.13 acres, a median lot standing near 9,899 square feet, which is roomy ground by the standards of this stretch. Heated living area on the finished houses averages about 3,150 square feet. Walton County zones all 190 parcels majority Conservation Residential at two units to the acre under Ordinance 2018-29, adopted 11 December 2018, though 13 lots along Cherry Laurel Drive, Basswood Drive and the north end of Cypress Breeze Boulevard also hold ground in the Small Neighborhood district, between about 5 and 11 percent of the lot. The mapped constraints are the reason to read this plat address by address. Measured against whole parcel outlines rather than a point in each, national wetlands mapping carried on the county's planning service holds ground on 69 of the 190 parcels and covers more than a quarter of 50 of them, freshwater emergent in the main with freshwater forested and shrub along the low ground. Flood mapping reaches further still: 66 parcels hold Zone A ground, 52 of them carrying a house, and on 21 parcels Zone A covers more than half the lot. Zone A is the one percent annual chance floodplain mapped with no published base flood elevation, so the map alone will not produce a number for those addresses. Only 2 of the 66 sit wholly inside a single flood polygon and the other 64 are crossed by the boundary, which is the case an elevation certificate exists to settle. Buildout took more than twenty years, completions running from 2002 to 2024 with a median of 2015, so the streets mix early houses with recent ones rather than presenting a single vintage. Nothing here is coastal in the regulatory sense: no adopted overlay reaches the plat, the nearest ending about 8,011 feet away, and the closest mapped 300 foot coastal dune lake protection buffer, at Draper Lake, stops about 2,184 feet short. Posted in turn to the county's municipal boundary layer, all 190 outlines fall outside every incorporated place in Walton County, so no city rule and no city program reaches any address here.

HOA & Fees

Read the association documents against the wetland map rather than on their own, and ask first which association you are dealing with. The roll carries five streets and common areas parcels on this plat under three different owner names, and every one of them is recorded with zero land area, so nothing in the public record describes ground or a structure those dues would have to keep up. Two large tracts inside the same parcel series are assessed in the class the state uses for drainage, retention and low lying ground, one of about 6.84 acres recorded as conservation easements and one of about 1.84 acres at the entrance, and neither is in association ownership at all. Ask which tracts the association actually holds, what its obligations are on the low ground given that mapped wetland covers more than a quarter of 50 parcels here, and how retention is funded across a plat that filled in over two decades and therefore carries facilities of several different ages.

Rental Policy

Septic capacity rather than bedroom count is what will decide guest occupancy on this plat, which is an unusual answer to give on this coast. The county treats a house let four or more times in a year, each stay running under 30 days, as a short-term vacation rental needing its own certificate on a yearly renewal cycle, and its life safety ordinance ties the certified occupancy to the on-site sewage treatment and disposal system as well as to documented parking. Here the plat carries mapped wetland and low ground, so the rated capacity of a lot's system is the number that converts a floor plan into a permitted headcount. Establish that rating, together with the recorded covenants for the specific lot, before assuming any guest use is available.

Community Answers

Cypress Breeze Plantation FAQ

Why is Cypress Breeze Plantation zoned so much lighter than its neighbors?

The county zones every one of the 190 parcels majority Conservation Residential at two units to the acre, under Ordinance 2018-29 adopted in December 2018. The ground explains it: national wetlands mapping carried on the county's planning service holds ground on 69 of those parcels, covering more than a quarter of 50 of them, freshwater emergent in the main with freshwater forested and shrub along the low ground. Thirteen lots also hold Small Neighborhood ground, between about 5 and 11 percent of the lot, so the district is a plat wide answer only in the majority sense and the specific lot is worth pulling.

Are these lots in a flood zone?

A great many of them hold flood ground, and that is the single most important thing to check here. Read against whole parcel outlines rather than a point in each, 66 of the 190 parcels hold Zone A ground, 52 of them carrying a house, and on 21 parcels Zone A covers more than half the lot. Zone A is the floodplain FEMA draws at the one percent annual chance, mapped here with no published base flood elevation, which means the map alone will not produce a number for those addresses and an elevation certificate has to. Only 2 of the 66 sit wholly inside a single flood polygon; the other 64 are crossed by the boundary, so no zone can be assigned to the parcel as a whole. Two adjoining addresses can land on opposite sides of that line, so confirm the designation for the specific parcel before an insurance figure is priced into an offer.

How long did Cypress Breeze Plantation take to fill in?

More than twenty years. Completion years on the county roll run from 2002 to 2024 across the 170 finished houses, with a median of 2015, so an early house and a recent one can stand on the same street, and the roofs, systems and finishes on this plat span several building eras rather than one.

Why do searches disagree about how big Cypress Breeze Plantation is?

Because the county roll spells the plat at least six ways. A hundred and fifty one parcels are recorded under a description beginning Cypress Breeze, twenty five lots drop the word Breeze and are filed as Cypress Plantation, one of those is filed with the word misspelled, and the streets and common areas parcels carry no community name at all. Searching the name reaches 159 of the 190 parcels. Searching the parcel identifier series 023S2034050 through 023S2034054 reaches all of them, and that is the scope every count on this page is taken from.
