Harstvedt Plantation Homes for Sale

Living in Harstvedt Plantation

Harstvedt Plantation is a Walton County subdivision of single-family houses. The state tax roll places its numbered lots on Cox Road and Gustaf Drive under a Santa Rosa Beach 32459 address, and the recorded plat is Plat Book 17, Page 41, a re-plat of Lots 15, 18 and 19 of the older Santa Rosa Plantation Company map. County commissioners approved that plat for recording in January 2006, for a 61-lot project on the western side of North Eden Park Drive, about 350 feet north of Chat Holley Road. The plat's dedication gives the roads, common areas, retention areas and preservation areas to the Harstvedt Plantation Homeowner's Association and says all streets, rights-of-way, easements and common areas shown are to be kept private. Its notes set building lines 20 feet from the front, 15 feet at the rear, 7.5 feet at the sides and 25 feet from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's wetland jurisdiction line.

An account of the land appears in a compatibility analysis filed in the county's 2022 agenda packet for the Harstvedt Road Subdivision, a separate townhome request. It gives the 2006 approval about 29.78 acres, with 12.62 acres of uplands, 13.64 acres of wetlands and 3.17 acres of upland preservation. The analysis calls the preservation on the site significant and says the project largely clustered its density away from the wetlands.

Among the numbered lots that the 2026 state tax roll lists, those with houses record between 5,101 and 8,400 square feet of land, while those the roll codes vacant record between 5,700 and 8,674 square feet. The houses themselves carry actual build years from 2013 to 2025 on that roll. County lot parcels ending 0200 and 0340 show neither an owner nor a legal description and are absent from the state roll, so look them up directly. The roll also carries Parcel A of the same plat, recorded at 16.06 acres, though the county's drawn outline measures about 17.2, at 146 Harstvedt Road under an agricultural use code, with one residence the roll dates to 1972.

The plat's flood record is more eventful than its paperwork suggests, and FEMA's map and the county's flag the same parcels, so the picture below does not depend on which is read. Twelve of the 61 lots touch Zone A, a special flood hazard area with no published base flood elevation, and ten of those twelve carry houses. Five lots are at least half Zone A and two lie wholly inside it, and roughly a quarter of the common ground, about 0.9 of 3.4 acres, is Zone A too. Another 26 lots touch the shaded 0.2 percent annual-chance band, and 32 touch plain Zone X only. The county's wetlands layer maps forested or shrub wetland over the same ground as the Zone A parcels, within a percentage point on each, which fits the wetlands the plat flags. The plat's own flood certificate, written against the 2000 map, put the majority of the property in Zone X and part of Lot 19 in Zone AE at 7 feet, so the current layer shows more flood ground than that certificate did. Neither map gives a floor height, which is why each lot needs its own check.
