Listing description
About this home
Nestled in the heart of iconic Rosemary Beach, 63 Johnstown Lane is a sophisticated five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath coastal residence offering approximately 3,493 square feet of impeccably designed living spaces. Custom built by Benecki Homes and Melanie Turner Interiors, this never-rented home masterfully blends timeless craftsmanship with refined modern coastal design. The main living level features oversized sliding pocket doors that open to sweeping views of the idyllic Cabana Pool and surrounding community greenery.
The gourmet kitchen is equipped with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a custom-designed hood, generous storage, and thoughtful finishes that balance elegance and function. Separated from the living area by the stairway hall is the second-floor guest suite. On the first floor, two bedrooms overlook Cabana Pool and courtyard and are adjacent to a laundry room, an office nook, and multiple storage areas that lead to the garage.
The third floor features a second living room, six twin bunk beds, and a full bathroom. The home's private outdoor spaces are equally impressive: a beautifully landscaped courtyard showcases mature plantings, a fire pit, and a serene water feature, creating an ideal setting for intimate gatherings or relaxed evenings under the stars. A standalone carriage house above the oversized two-car garage offers additional versatility, featuring a king bedroom, two twin bunks, a full living area, and a full kitchen deal for guests, extended family, or potential rental income.
Positioned just steps from Rosemary Beach's acclaimed amenities, including multiple community pools, a fitness center, tennis courts, boutique shops, restaurants, and the town center of one of Florida's most coveted coastal communities.

Estimate: asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × Walton County rate (9.76 mills, county-average millage, 2025; verify with the property appraiser). Not a bill.
⚠️
Property 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.
Current owner’s estimated bill $29,000/yr ($2,417/mo) — taxable value $2,971,691 × 9.76 mills
$12,425 more each year
(+43%)
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.

At its August 17, 2026 meeting, the Walton County Board of County Commissioners approved, on the consent agenda, a contract with Mott MacDonald for Westbay Parkway design not to exceed $4,693,502.38. The same agenda included a $184,117 Dewberry task order for the Santa Clara Regional Beach Access Bramble Grove addition.

Funding for the utilities study advanced into Walton County's draft budget for fiscal year 2026 to 2027.
Why it matters: Advances roadway beautification and stormwater improvements along the Freeport U.S. 331 corridor and the 30A west gateway and lays groundwork for utility resilience upgrades across Walton County. The site is about 16 miles northeast of Zz Emeraldcoast Walton Unassigned.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 63 Johnstown Lane and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 63 Johnstown Lane was built in 2015 and has 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 63 Johnstown Lane in?
63 Johnstown Lane is in Rosemary 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 63 Johnstown Lane differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $41,425 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $12,425 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+43%). 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 63 Johnstown Lane in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and 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.

Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page. Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon. Do not make any purchase, offer, financing, or other decision based on this page. Independently verify everything — price, square footage, lot size, year built, taxes, CDD/HOA, flood status, school assignments, permits, and community rules — with the listing broker, the county, your lender, a licensed inspector, an insurer, and your own advisors before acting.
Estimate methodology. Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.
