    Living in Bluewater Landing

    The plat of Bluewater Landing, filed as Plat Book 24, pages 37 through 39 and recorded March 10, 2022, was dedicated by D.R. Horton, Inc. and shows 31 numbered house lots along Seaboard Lane, a commercial lot, a common area and a conservation area of about 23 acres that runs to Draper Lake. Its dedication gives the common areas, preservation areas and roads to Bluewater Landing Owners Association, Inc. and the conservation area to Walton County, and a plat note requires the wetland buffers and preservation area to stay intact, uncleared and undisturbed. The county's statement on the sheet adds that recording the plat does not oblige the county to build or maintain anything in the dedicated areas.

    County and state parcel records agree that the plat's parcel series holds 34 parcels: the 31 lots, a 1.82 acre commercial lot owned by Bluewater Landing 30A LLC, one association parcel of about 6.35 acres drawn in three pieces, and the 23 acre conservation parcel, which both records list under Nokuse Land Conservancy, LLC although the plat names the county as recipient. The 2026 state roll dates every house to 2022 (11 houses), 2023 (18) or 2024 (2), with 3,197 to 4,797 square feet of living area on lots of 5,000 to 7,822 square feet, all addressed on Seaboard Lane in Santa Rosa Beach, ZIP 32459.

    County maps place the lots, the commercial lot and the association parcel in the Small Neighborhood zoning district with a Mixed Use future land use, both adopted December 11, 2018 (Ordinances 2018-29 and 2018-28). Draper Lake sits in the county's coastal dune lake layer, which draws a 300 foot protection zone around it: about two thirds of the conservation parcel lies inside that zone and none of the 31 lots does, the nearest lot line being about 250 feet outside it and roughly 750 feet from the mapped lake edge. The plat prints a minimum finished floor elevation for each lot, from 37.25 to 42.25 feet on the 1988 vertical datum, lowest around the cul-de-sac.

    On both the county's flood layer and FEMA's national layer, every lot, the commercial lot and all three pieces of the association parcel test as Zone X. The conservation parcel does not: by sampling, roughly 39 percent of it is Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 10 feet, 33 percent is Zone A and 28 percent is Zone X, which fits the flood note printed on the plat. Zone letters do not price a policy. Walton County's Technical Review Committee minutes of April 7, 2021 describe the application as 31 single-family homes, a pool amenity and a future commercial component on 35.19 acres, approved 7 to 0 with three conditions aimed at the commercial component: no business whose primary use is outdoor events, no outdoor entertainment with amplified sound as an ancillary use, and no bar on other uses the code allows. The final development order was not read, and no record read shows a pool built. Listings in Santa Rosa Beach matching the name Bluewater Landing numbered 3 active and 36 sold on August 19, 2026, a dated observation that exceeds the 31 lots on the plat and is not a current inventory.

    Bluewater Landing FAQ

    How much is the HOA fee at Bluewater Landing?

    As of November 11, 2026, Bluewater Landing homes for sale that report a fee on the MLS list these HOA fees: single-family homes, $247 a month (3 listings). Fees vary by home type and section. Some homes also belong to a sub-association for their section, and a listing's fee may cover only one association, so confirm every association a home belongs to and what each one charges.

    What does the Bluewater Landing plat set aside besides the 31 house lots?

    Four things besides the lots: a 1.82 acre commercial lot, a common area of about 6.35 acres held by Bluewater Landing Owners Association, Inc. and drawn in three pieces, the roads (Seaboard Lane and Jetty Road), and a conservation area of about 23 acres along Draper Lake. County and state records show 34 parcels in all.

    Who owns the 23 acre conservation parcel at Bluewater Landing?

    The county and state parcel records both list Nokuse Land Conservancy, LLC as owner of record, and the county codes the parcel as a conservation easement. The plat's dedication names Walton County as recipient of the conservation area. The instrument that reconciles the two was not read, so ask for it, along with whatever the easement restricts, before relying on either description.

    How close do the Bluewater Landing lots come to Draper Lake?

    No lot touches the county's 300 foot dune lake protection zone; the nearest lot line is about 250 feet outside it and about 750 feet from the lake outline in the county's map, measured in feet from the lot line to the lake outline. The conservation parcel lies between the lots and the lake, and the plat itself draws the ordinary high water line only as approximate.

    Which part of Bluewater Landing is outside Zone X?

    Only the conservation parcel. Every lot, the commercial lot and the association parcel test as Zone X on the county and FEMA layers, while sampling puts about 39 percent of the conservation parcel in Zone AE at a base flood elevation of 10 feet, 33 percent in Zone A and 28 percent in Zone X. The zone letter says nothing about a particular house; the lot's own minimum finished floor elevation on the plat and the county floodplain office are the places to check.

    What did the county committee approve for Bluewater Landing in 2021?

    Its Technical Review Committee voted 7 to 0 on April 7, 2021, to approve 31 single-family homes, a pool amenity and a future commercial component on 35.19 acres, with three conditions on the commercial component limiting outdoor events as a primary use and amplified outdoor entertainment as an ancillary use. The minutes are a meeting record, not the final development order, and they do not show that a pool was built.

    How should the August 2026 Bluewater Landing sales search be read?

    Run on August 19, 2026, a Santa Rosa Beach homes search on the words Bluewater Landing returned three active and 36 sold. The plat has only 31 house lots, so the figure cannot be a count of homes; match any sale to a lot number on the plat before using it, and read it as a dated snapshot, not today's inventory.
