Audubon Point Homes for Sale

Living in Audubon Point

Walton County commissioners approved Audubon Point on August 9, 2005, as a major development of 70 single-family lots on about 35.77 acres. The request appears in those minutes as Audubon Pointe, formerly known as Cottages of Point Washington. The minutes locate the tract north of US 98 and northwest of County Road 395, on the north and east side of East Point Washington Road, with a future land use designation of Conservation Residential 2:1. On August 28, 2007, the board voted 5 to 0 to approve the final plat for recording with conditions, and the lot legals on the county parcel roll cite Plat Book 18, page 24.

That county roll now carries 66 single-family parcels in the plat's parcel-number series, 64 of them with a lot legal citing the plat; the two parcel numbers ending 0410 and 0420, where lots 41 and 42 would fall, show no legal description, owner or acreage. Both approvals counted 70 lots, so the recorded plat is the document that settles the final layout. The state's 2026 parcel roll lists 64 lots, each with one house and a Santa Rosa Beach address on Montclair Avenue, Melrose Avenue or Oakley Court. Four of those houses date to 2008 and 2009, 59 to the years 2014 through 2017, and one, on lot 28, to 2024. The smallest recorded living area there is 1,786 square feet and the largest 3,578, and parcel sizes span 4,965 to 14,374 square feet.

FEMA's flood map splits the plat. Laid over each lot's own outline, it puts 34 of the 66 single-family parcels wholly in Zone X, 23 partly in Zone A and nine wholly in Zone A. Zone A is a special flood hazard area where the map publishes no base flood elevation, so a lot-level answer comes from the county floodplain manager, who takes determination requests.

The county roll lists Audubon Point Homeowners Assoc Inc as owner of one further parcel, and its legal description reads all streets, common areas and limited common areas as described on the plat. In October 2011, county staff told the board that the subdivision had received its final inspection with no outstanding issues. Ask the association which of those areas it maintains, and read the recorded plat, before counting on any shared ground.
