Bishop Landing
Homes for Sale in Santa Rosa Beach, FL

Bishop Landing is an announced community proposed on about 103.8 acres on the east side of Bishop Tolbert Road, extending along part of Church Street north of U.S. 98 in Santa Rosa Beach, Walton County (ZIP 32459), with part of the property bordering Churchill Bayou. County filings by the developer, BT Florida, L.L.C., working with Brock Built Homes, describe roughly 84 single-family lots and 103 townhomes — about 187 units at an overall density near 1.8 units per acre, well below what the site's base zoning would allow. The plan includes a park and pavilion, boardwalks and walking trails through preserved wetlands, and a wedding/event venue that satisfies the mixed-use requirement of the site's Small Neighborhood zoning. Roughly 42 acres of wetlands would be placed in conservation. The conceptual PUD and its overlay ordinance were approved at the Planning Commission level; no floor plans or pricing had been published at this snapshot, and there are no listings yet, so this page tracks the community's progress. Details should be confirmed with the builder. This is the Walton County community and is separate from the similarly named community in Orange County.

The defining feature of Bishop Landing is its mix. Most of the immediate Bishop Tolbert Road area is detached single-family; this plan pairs about 84 single-family lots with 103 townhomes on one site, which usually means a wider spread of price points than a single-product community. The proposed density — roughly 1.8 units per acre across 103.8 acres — is notably lower than the site's zoning would permit, a function of the large wetland area being set aside.

The natural setting is central to the plan. About 42 acres of on-site wetlands are slated for conservation, with boardwalks and walking trails routed through them, and part of the property borders Churchill Bayou. County records describe a wet-detention stormwater system designed with input from South Walton Mosquito Control and additional treatment intended to protect water quality before discharge toward the bay. The developer also committed to paving Bishop Tolbert Road to its end as a public benefit.

The genuine unknowns to confirm in writing are floor plans and pricing for both the single-family and townhome products, the HOA structure that will fund the park, trails, and shared spaces, and the final unit mix. Because only the conceptual PUD has been approved, the detailed plan can still refine these.

For a two-product community still moving from conceptual approval to detailed plans, our value is comparison and timing. We can line up the single-family and townhome offerings side by side as they release, flag which homesites sit nearest the bayou, wetlands, or preserved trails, and get you on the interest list before the best positions are chosen.

We also read the fine print buyers miss on new construction — the HOA budget behind the park and trails, how the conservation areas and any event-venue operations sit relative to specific lots, and how builder incentives are written once they appear — so what you underwrite is the real cost.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
