About this home
Located on the highly desirable west end of Scenic 30A, this property presents a rare opportunity to secure a prime homesite with existing new construction already in place, ideal for those looking to build, expand, or create a custom coastal retreat. Situated on approximately a quarter-acre, the property features a newly constructed 1,687 sq ft addition offering a spacious primary suite, additional living area, and 3 full bathrooms. This thoughtfully built wing provides immediate functional space & a valuable foundation for future development.
The generous lot size provides ample room to add a private pool, further enhancing outdoor living & rental appeal. The original 1974 structure located behind the addition offers flexible options for redevelopment. While it has been previously considered a tear-down, buyers may also choose to renovate and remodel the existing home as a one-story residence, as the current foundation does not support a second story.
Builder estimates approximately $224,859 to renovate the original structure with finishes designed to match the completed addition, creating a cohesive and expanded living space. Alternatively, buyers may opt for a full redevelopment approach. Builder estimates $900K, including demolition of the original structure, to build an additional 2,432 sq ft residence with finishes comparable to the existing addition.
Upon completion, the property could offer a combined total of approximately 4,119 sq ft, featuring 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, an ideal layout for both personal use and vacation rental performance. Development concepts and rental projections are available for review. This unique configuration offers the flexibility to live on-site during construction, renovate for immediate use, or incorporate the existing structure into a larger custom build.
The location is exceptional, with multiple nearby beach accesses, including Dune Allen Regional Beach Access just moments away. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate close proximity to Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, known for its pristine beaches, rare coastal dune lakes, and scenic trails. Enjoy easy access to some of 30A's most popular dining and entertainment destinations, including Stinky's Fish Camp, Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar, and Gulf Place, all just minutes away.
With strong projected rental income and exceptional redevelopment potential, this offering represents a compelling opportunity to create value in one of the Emerald Coast's most sought-after locations.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 73 Dune Drive, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1974 (52 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.
- FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
- 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 $13,209/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's homestead cap does not transfer, so their current bill is not a guide.
- 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 73 Dune Drive and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 73 Dune Drive was built in 1974 and has 3 bedrooms and 5.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 73 Dune Drive in?
73 Dune Drive is in Beach Highland 1St Add in Santa Rosa Beach, Walton County. The community section on this page shows recent closed sales, days on market, and active inventory for Beach Highland 1St Add from the same MLS data.
Why might property taxes on 73 Dune Drive differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $13,209 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price. Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment resets after a sale, so a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 73 Dune Drive 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.
