Daxton On The Bay Homes for Sale

Living in Daxton On The Bay

Daxton on the Bay is a platted subdivision of 31 single-family lots on Bayou Edge Landing, a short street that Walton County's road network shows connecting to Mussett Bayou Road in Santa Rosa Beach. Every lot's legal description on the county's own parcel roll cites the same recorded plat, Plat Book 22 Page 38, and the county's single-family use code. Lot size depends on which record you read. The county appraiser's recorded acreage runs from 0.097 to 0.215 acre, roughly 4,200 to 9,400 square feet, the state roll's land figures run from about 3,900 to 8,300 square feet, and the county's mapped outlines of lots 16 through 19 measure up to 0.33 acre, more than their recorded acreage.

Mussett Bayou is a stream the United States Geological Survey's National Hydrography Dataset records in the immediate area, and Walton County's own road network carries the same name onto both Mussett Bayou Road and a second nearby street, Mussett Bayou Court. At their closest mapped points the stream's course and the plat's parcel outlines are roughly 30 feet apart. Every address in the subdivision carries the Santa Rosa Beach mailing community and the 32459 ZIP Code, and the county address layer holds 29 addressed sites on Bayou Edge Landing for the 31 lots.

County parcel records show a single recorded instrument, Official Records Book 3144, Page 566, dated May 2020, common to twenty-seven of the plat's thirty-one lots. The remaining four lots, numbered 16 through 19, carry different instruments dated in 2021 instead. Lots began recording sales of their own in December 2020, and the roll shows new records through late December 2025. The state roll gives all 31 houses actual build years of 2020, 2021 or 2022 and living areas from 2,020 to 3,316 square feet.

FEMA's national flood map, tested at a point inside each lot, puts 12 lots in the shaded X zone for a 0.2 percent annual chance flood, 16 lots in Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 7 feet, and lots 17, 18 and 19 in Zone AE at 8 feet; Walton County's own flood layer returned the same result for every lot. The outlines of lots 16 through 19 also touch a Zone VE area at 9 feet, so those four sit across more than one mapped zone.

The county roll lists one further parcel in this series, a common-area parcel mapped in seven pieces that total about 3.06 acres. Its legal reads all streets, rights-of-way, easements and common areas as indicated on the plat, and its owner field reads Daxton On The Bay Homeowners Assoc Inc. No parcel carries a phase or section name beyond the single plat book and page. What the association governs or charges is set by its recorded declaration, which these county records do not include.

Water Oaks, another plat off Mussett Bayou Road, is covered in the Water Oaks guide. FEMA splits these 31 lots three ways, so on the Daxton on the Bay market page read a closing beside lots in the same flood position. More Santa Rosa Beach plats appear in the index of Santa Rosa Beach neighborhoods.
