About this home
Discover a different side of 30A at 156 Savelle Drive, where the beauty of the coast is matched by an exceptional sense of privacy. Located in Gulf Trace, one of Grayton Beach's most distinctive residential communities, this beautifully updated four-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath home offers a private pool, generous outdoor living and convenient access to the white sands and emerald waters of the Gulf. The setting is what instantly sets this property apart.
Gulf Trace is surrounded by the natural beauty of Grayton Beach State Park, creating an environment that feels wonderfully removed while remaining convenient to the restaurants, shops and lifestyle of Grayton Beach and Scenic Highway 30A. Inside, the home is bright, comfortable and thoughtfully designed for coastal living. The main living level brings the kitchen, dining and gathering spaces together beneath vaulted wood ceilings, creating an open environment equally suited for quiet weekends at the beach or a house filled with family and friends.
Natural light and carefully selected finishes give the interiors a relaxed sophistication without losing the casual character that makes a Grayton Beach home so inviting. Four bedrooms and four-and-one-half baths provide excellent separation and privacy for owners and guests, while additional bunk accommodations add flexibility for larger gatherings. A convenient first-level mudroom and laundry area provide a practical transition from days spent at the beach or beside the pool.
Outdoor living is an important part of the experience. The private swimming pool offers a place to relax and entertain away from the crowds, while covered outdoor areas provide additional space to enjoy the coastal setting throughout the year. Ample parking for multiple vehicles is another valuable feature for a home designed to welcome family and guests.
For those seeking the flexibility of rental income, the home's four-bedroom layout, private pool, beach access and highly desirable Grayton Beach location also offer compelling potential as a vacation rental. Whether enjoyed as a full-time coastal residence, a private second home or an investment property, 156 Savelle Drive provides the opportunity to tailor ownership to fit a variety of lifestyles. Perhaps most compelling is the opportunity to own within Gulf Trace itself--a neighborhood where beach access, protected natural surroundings and proximity to everything along 30A come together in a way that is increasingly difficult to find.
156 Savelle Drive is more than a beach house. It is an opportunity to enjoy Grayton Beach from a private enclave surrounded by some of the most beautiful coastal landscape in Northwest Florida.

Property taxes
✓ Certified tax roll · county-average rateProperty taxes in Florida are reassessed after a sale, so a buyer’s first full-year bill can be higher than the seller’s. Budget from this estimate, not the current bill, before you make an offer.
Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment does not transfer to a new buyer.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 156 Savelle Drive, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1995 (31 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- Confirm whether a mandatory HOA applies to this parcel and what it charges.
- Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Walton County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Confirm square footage and room dimensions independently.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $20,000/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $800 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+4%). Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 156 Savelle Drive and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 156 Savelle Drive was built in 1995 and has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 156 Savelle Drive in?
156 Savelle Drive is in Gulf Trace in Santa Rosa Beach, Walton County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Why might property taxes on 156 Savelle Drive differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $20,000 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $800 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+4%). Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 156 Savelle Drive in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
