    Living in Cano Estates

    The Cano Estates plat, recorded in Plat Book 5, page 31 under county subdivision number 27-2S-20-33630, was prepared in 1979 for a 36-lot subdivision in section 27, township 2 south, range 20 west, with U.S. Highway 98 along its southern edge and a strip there marked for commercial use. Its dedication gives the streets to the perpetual use of the public, and a plat note says the lot owners association is to retain ownership of Lot 37, the Alicia Lake and park area, with each lot holding a one thirty-sixth interest.

    County records list 40 distinct parcel IDs. Of the 36 numbered lots, 27 carry single-family use and five are vacant; lots 32, 33 and 34 are owned by the Florida Department of Transportation, and the church holds Lot 36. The other four IDs sit outside the numbered lots: the lake and park parcel of about 3.1 acres, which the county lists under the name Cano Estates Owner's Association, a parcel classed store, office or residential beside the church lot, and two shopping center parcels along the highway. County acreage for the single-family lots runs from about half an acre to three quarters of an acre.

    Forty-one address rows in the county file tie back to this series. Thirty carry Santa Rosa Beach, 32459 addresses on Santa Barbara Avenue, La Canosa Boulevard and San Jose Drive. The other eleven are blank: the lake parcel, the three state lots, the three commercial parcels and four vacant lots. Nine rows are typed single-family, one accessory structure and one commercial, and only eleven carry the place name Cano Estates, so a search on that name finds a minority of the plat.

    FEMA's national flood map puts the interior of 35 parcels in Zone X and five in Zone A, an unnumbered zone with no base flood elevation: lots 31 through 34 and the lake and park parcel. The Zone A edge also crosses ten more single-family lots (20 through 27, 30 and 35) and the store, office or residential parcel, and Walton County's flood layer returns the same split. Separately, the county's scenic corridor layer places nine southern parcels, lots 1 through 4, 35 and 36 and the three highway-front commercial parcels, inside the U.S. 98 and U.S. 331 Scenic Corridor; ask the county what that designation requires before planning work there.

    Filtering the August 20, 2026 Santa Rosa Beach listing data to the Cano Estates name leaves 14 sold dwellings and zero active ones. The sold count has no time window, so it is a dated observation, not current supply.

    Cano Estates FAQ

    How much is the HOA fee at Cano Estates?

    No HOA fee for Cano Estates has been reported on the MLS in our records. Whether a home belongs to an association, and what it charges, is set by that home's recorded covenants, so ask a licensed real estate agent or the association about the home you are considering.

    How many lots does the Cano Estates plat actually have?

    The plat sheet states 36 lots, and the county series matches it: 27 single-family, five vacant, three owned by the Florida Department of Transportation and one church lot add up to 36. The other four parcel IDs are the lake and park parcel and three commercial parcels outside the numbered lots.

    Who owns Alicia Lake in Cano Estates?

    A plat note says the lot owners association is to retain ownership of Lot 37, the lake and park area, with each of the 36 lots holding a one thirty-sixth interest, and many county lot descriptions repeat that interest. The county lists the lake and park parcel under the name Cano Estates Owner's Association, and a Florida corporation registry name search on October 3, 2026 turned up no corporation with Cano Estates in its name. Ask a seller for the recorded documents that show how the lake is held.

    Which Cano Estates lots does FEMA map in Zone A?

    At an interior point, five parcels fall in Zone A: lots 31, 32, 33 and 34 and the lake and park parcel. The Zone A edge also crosses ten single-family lots, numbers 20 through 27, 30 and 35, so those lots may sit partly in and partly out. Every other parcel is Zone X. A zone is only a map category, and the county's own flood layer returns the same split, so the exact lot still needs confirming with Walton County.

    Are the streets in Cano Estates public?

    The 1979 plat's dedication gives the streets to the perpetual use of the public. Whether Walton County has accepted and maintains each street today is not shown by the plat, so ask the county. The streets are Santa Barbara Avenue, La Canosa Boulevard and San Jose Drive.

    Is the count of 14 sold Cano Estates dwellings up to date?

    It comes from August 20, 2026 listing data for Santa Rosa Beach, which showed 14 sold dwellings and none active. The sold count has no time window, and the series includes state, church and commercial parcels that a dwelling count leaves out, so it is context only.
