    Living in Sandhill Pines

    Sandhill Pines is a townhouse subdivision laid out along Sandhill Pines Drive and Sandy Cove Way, with Santa Rosa Beach addresses in Walton County. The county's subdivision record gives its plat a recording date of July 30, 2020, in Plat Book 22, Page 78. Parcel records divide it into 77 townhouse lots in fifteen lettered blocks, A through O, holding four to eight lots apiece, plus one parcel for all the common areas and roads shown on the plat. The Northwest Florida Water Management District's permit for the project puts the site, about 9.77 acres, just north of Jo-Katherine Lane on the west side of Mack Bayou Road, with a driveway connection to that road.

    Florida's statewide parcel roll dates the house on every lot to 2021 or 2022 and records identical living area on all 77 of them: 1,616 square feet. Every house on Sandy Cove Way carries the 2021 date, while Sandhill Pines Drive holds both years, divided block by block.

    The district issued the project's individual environmental resource permit on May 3, 2019, naming D.R. Horton as applicant. Its description places wetlands in the center of the site, plans a section of the proposed roadway culverted across them, and describes the proposed surface water management system as two wet detention ponds. The district's online record also lists that permit as expiring on May 3, 2024, with its current stage shown as Compliance, so ask the association which stormwater documents govern the ponds today.

    Filed with the state on May 15, 2020, Sandhill Pines Owners Association still appears on the corporate registry as active. Its articles of incorporation make each record owner of a platted lot a member with one vote per lot, set each lot's share of common-area costs as lots owned over total lots (a total the declarant may raise while it keeps the right to add property), and charge the association with operating and maintaining the stormwater system consistent with the district permit. County parcel records carry the common areas and roads parcel under the association's name. The articles also name a Declaration of Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions of Sandhill Pines Townhomes; read it, with the plat, before signing a contract.
