Owl's Head Development

Hello! I just stumbled onto this website and I love it! I've enjoyed learning from everyone who had posted on here!

My husband and I live in Crestview and are looking into buying some property at the new Owl's Head dev. I've seen their website, but was just wondering if anyone had any other info. they've heard about it?

We've heard the lots will be going on sale this spring, but we haven't been able to get details about lot sizes, home sizes, or cost (other than the quoted 80,000 for lots and homes starting at 200,000).

In any case, hello everyone! and I look forward to talking more to you all soon!

TT

There are a few threads about it in this forum. Look up at the search link and search for keyword "owl's"

Here's a couple:

Right now it's a sod farm.

I just received an email from Owl's Head indicating the lot prices for people getting in early will be between [font=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][font=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]$130,000- $285,000.[/font][/font]

I just got that email as well. Wow - I was honestly suprised at how much the prices had jumped (I guess I shouldn't have been). I data I had originally, must have been really outdated. It looks like it's going to be a great development. Thanks for keeping me updated!

They have reservations on about 2/3 of the first 100 lots they are selling. They are marketing the first lots as Founding Members. Most expensive is about 285k. They are putting together a list of approved builders. I think they have archetectural plans to choose from. Smallest houses will be under 2000 sq. ft. The total package will be about 600k for a lot for 200k and a house that is 2000sq ft. with nice amenities and an Arnold Palmer golf course. Seems a little pricey, but who knows ??

I think your math may be a little off.

tatertot, chandog and goofer44 :clap_1:

I think your math may be a little off.

They are saying that construction costs will be $200 a sq ft. so with a lot costing 200k and a 2000 sq ft house on that lot the total cost is 600k

You can check it out yourself. they have a sales office in the Seaside area. The project is being marketed by Davis Properties.

I see. Your original post implied that the lot was $600K and $200k for the house.

There is another new development you may want to check out called lagrange landing. There are a coupe of lots left at $90,000, last I checked. It has been very popular project so the lots have went very quickly especially at this price. I think there are 5 lots left in the first phase. After that phase the prices will rise. It is from the same developer as Owls Head, Jeff Tucker. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll post more. Or you can just drop me an e-mail. I am new to using this board so I am afraid I wont be able to find this thread once I leave it???

Yes, and a realtor told me that one could navigate by boat from there to the bay. Right now we're laying low with our plans to buy a place with bay access.

Yeah, access to the Bay with a ramp, along with a place to park a boat trailer. It will also have a clubhouse, pool and walking trail. It should be a great place to live.....The lots are going quick but I think there are a few left. They are trying to reward the people that buy in the first phase so if you do not get in on it now you'll pay more later in phase 2 or 3. Give me a call if interested. cell-850-865-0250

Interesting article in today's New York Times regarding Owls Head and the inner coastal highlands of Florida.

I read the article. Karl Rove has a house on 30a??!!

yes

You can get the details if you search for his name on the Walton County tax assessor's web site. Or at least you used to be able to find it. Unlike a lot of celebs, he was listed as buyer, not some company he owned listed as buyer.

Kind of odd, actually. Most of them bury the details a lot better. (Okay, I got really bored during a slow night at work, and once tried unsuccessfully to figure out how much Britney paid for her place in Destin based on county tax rolls so that's how I know.)

Rove's in Rosemary. A simple Google search will tell you that.

It is probably public information because like other members of the administration, I imagine he has to disclose his financial details (either yearly or every four years), so there would be no point in hiding it. Florida law does however allow certain public figures like judges and law enforcement officers to have their information blocked from public records, so crazy people can't find them and shoot them. I would imagine Rove would qualify for this, but I don't know the details of the law. Ownership information would not change in that case; as far as I know the information would simply be inaccessible.

This SoWal website is amazing, every community needs one.
