Bluewater Landing - DR Horton project on 30A at Draper Lake

I wish I had the $ to buy that land years ago and leave it be.

Tearing down paradise and putting up a beach neighborhood with NO BEACH ACCESS…. buyer beware….

Sure, they can go to the end of 83 or the end of Gulf View Heights. It's the one at 83 you piss on and claim right?

There are quite a few public accesses in Blue Mountain Beach to the east and Santa Rosa Beach to the west.

However it is important to know for potential buyers that they do not have direct beach access and the situation is going to be quite messy as it is in places like say, Prominence, which is landlocked by WaterSound Beach.

It is a travesty that builders like DR Horton clear cut properties completely before building. They did not even leave a vegetative buffer as required. Instead they destroy nearly every single piece of precious native vegetation, destroy habitats completely, and then put in a few non-native cheap palm tress and shrubs as required by code.

Walton County, of all the counties in America, should have extremely strict controls on destruction of native landscape and habitat. There are small southern towns and cities that even do a better job of protecting their resources.

I understand and agree with what you are saying, but I also have to point out that said parcel has been consistently for sale for almost two decades.

Ultimately I have a bad feeling that this development will end up similar to Cypress Dunes. Meaning frustrated owners who were manipulated into believing beach access was possible through a protected area will take matters into their own hands.

It would have made an excellent park.

I'm pretty busy today, but if someone wants to file a code complaint, they aren't using approved sand for fill.

I believe south of 30A must be white fill.

It's beige at best.
