Carson Oaks Homes for Sale

Living in Carson Oaks

Carson Oaks was platted as a single-family residential subdivision in Plat Book 16, page 57, a replat of Lots 43 and 44 and the south 20 feet of Lot 22 of the Map of Santa Rosa Plantation Company, in section 24, township 2 south, range 21 west. The First Addition, Plat Book 19, page 42, replats original Lots 66 through 69. The Second Addition, recorded July 27, 2016 in Plat Book 19, page 92, replats Lots 1 and 2 of the First Addition, and a First Addition replat recorded July 14, 2017 in Plat Book 20, page 50 replats First Addition Lots 14 and 15. Lot numbers restart in each filing, so a sale described only as Lot 1 can mean two different lots.

Walton County's parcel layer lists 80 single-family parcels in the Carson Oaks series: 65 in the original plat, 13 in the First Addition and two in the Second Addition, plus two common-area parcels that the map draws as eight pieces. A search on the words Carson Oaks in the county's legal descriptions finds only 78, because one lot's legal text has extra spaces and another parcel has no legal wording at all, so counting by name undercounts. Florida's 2026 parcel roll lists 79 IDs in the same series, 77 single-family and two common-area; it leaves out the two Second Addition parcels and the parcel without legal wording. On that roll the homes were built from 2005 through 2017, with living areas from 1,796 to 3,607 square feet, on Carson Oaks Lane, Carson Court and Oaks Court, Santa Rosa Beach 32459.

The Walton County Clerk's records include the original Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Carson Oaks, made by the developer on August 24, 2005 and recorded September 12, 2005 in Official Records Book 2688, page 3807. Its property description names only the original plat, so a buyer of an addition lot should confirm which declaration covers that lot. An amended and restated declaration was recorded January 13, 2006 (Book 2705, page 2053). Amendment certificates were recorded December 10, 2014 (Book 2966, page 1560), February 16, 2016 (Book 3002, page 310), May 19, 2016 (Book 3010, page 680) and July 21, 2021 (Book 3208, page 659); the 2014 certificate cites the original declaration and the three later ones cite the amended and restated one. They name Carson Oaks Homeowners Association, Inc. as the nonprofit that administers Carson Oaks, and Florida's registry lists that corporation as active, filed December 19, 2005. This page has not read the declaration's provisions, so fees, rental rules and maintenance duties need current certified copies.

FEMA's national flood map puts all 80 single-family parcels in Zone X at an interior point, 57 in the minimal hazard category and 23 in the 0.2 percent annual chance category. The outlines of five of them, original Lot 1, First Addition Lots 6 and 7 and both Second Addition lots, also touch Zone AE at a base flood elevation of 7 feet, and three pieces of the common-area parcels sit in Zone AE.

On August 19, 2026 the Carson Oaks name returned six active listings and 39 sold in Santa Rosa Beach listing data. That is a dated observation with no closing-date window, and it is not the same footprint as the 80 parcels.
