Living in Eastern Lake Estates

Walton County's property appraiser records place Eastern Lake Estates in Plat Book 3, Page 34, with home sites divided among five numbered blocks, Block 1 through Block 5. The same plat set aside Lot 1 in Block 1, a 0.43 acre parcel the appraiser's roll now lists under Walton County Park ownership rather than as a residential lot, and a separate parcel whose recorded legal description names it Lake Tresca, submerged land held by the State of Florida rather than by any private lot owner.

County address points inside the plat's lot outlines sit on Lakeview Drive (52 points), Tresca Drive (five) and Lakewood Drive (three), all with a Santa Rosa Beach postal city. Eastern Lake Road, Eastern Lake Court and Tresca Lake Court carry county address points too, but none falls inside this plat, so they are not its streets. Eastern Lake is one of the 15 coastal dune lakes on Walton County's own map, and its mapped edge comes within a few feet of the plat's nearest lots. No county dune lake is named Tresca, so Lake Tresca's identity rests on the one recorded parcel.

Sale dates on the county roll for these lots reach back to 1971 and run into September 2026. The appraiser's roll shows 52 single family lots, 49 of which carry an acreage between 0.20 and 0.72 acre and most near a quarter acre, plus five lots recorded as vacant and one recorded as multi family. The state's 2026 roll dates 51 houses from 1965 through 2025, 19 of them before 1990 and 15 from 2020 on, with living areas from 774 to 7,963 square feet.

Forty of the 60 parcels touch the county's mapped Coastal Dune Lake Protection Zone, a 300 foot ring around Eastern Lake that the county last updated in 2014. For what the zone requires, a reader has to go to the county's Land Development Code; this page leaves those rules unsummarized. On FEMA's national flood map, tested at an interior point, 14 parcels fall in Zone AE with base flood elevations of 8 or 10 feet, 44 in Zone X shaded as the 0.2 percent annual chance hazard and two in minimal-hazard Zone X, while 43 parcel outlines touch Zone AE somewhere, so the answer depends on the exact lot.

Local Answers

Eastern Lake Estates FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Eastern Lake Estates?

No HOA fee for Eastern Lake 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.

Where is Eastern Lake Estates recorded in Walton County's public records?

Walton County's property appraiser records the plat as Plat Book 3, Page 34, with home sites divided among five numbered blocks, Block 1 through Block 5. Ownership records tied to these lots show sales dating from 1971 through 2026, so the plat has changed hands across more than five decades rather than under one building phase. A buyer confirming a specific lot's exact boundary should still pull the recorded plat page itself from the Clerk of Court.

What is Lake Tresca, the water body recorded inside Eastern Lake Estates?

Walton County's parcel records include a separate submerged land parcel inside the plat, about 3.5 acres, that the recorded legal description names Lake Tresca. It is owned by the State of Florida rather than by any private lot owner. The 15 coastal dune lakes on the county's own map include Eastern Lake but none called Tresca, so Lake Tresca's status rests on this one parcel record rather than on any dune lake designation.

Is there a public park lot inside Eastern Lake Estates?

Yes. Lot 1 of Block 1, a 0.43 acre lot inside the recorded plat, is listed by Walton County's property appraiser as Walton County Park land rather than as a residential lot. County parcel records do not describe what, if anything, is built on that lot, so a buyer wanting specifics should check with the county's parks department directly.

How big are the home lots in Eastern Lake Estates?

Walton County's property appraiser roll shows single family lots in the plat ranging from about 0.20 acre to 0.72 acre, with most lots landing near a quarter acre. A few platted lots in the same blocks are recorded as vacant, and one is recorded as multi family rather than single family, so the roll is not uniformly single family lots across every numbered block.
