Sherwood Forrest 1st Add S/D is a community in Santa Rosa Beach, Walton County, FL. Across Santa Rosa Beach as a whole, 520 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $950,000, 83 median days on market, with 313 homes for sale today. At that median and Walton County's FY2025-26 rate of 9.758 mills, annual property tax runs about $9,270 ($8,880 with the full homestead exemption).
There is no median price in this snapshot, so anyone quoting a number for Sherwood Forrest right now is guessing. What sets value here is condition, lot, and proximity within Santa Rosa Beach rather than any published community pricing, and that means each listing has to be underwritten on its own merits.
For a buyer, the posture is do-your-homework: with no amenity draw baked in and thin current data, price is negotiated house by house. For a seller, that cuts the same way — presentation and comparable sales in the immediate area will carry the number, not a community story or shared facilities.
The 60-Second Overview
Sherwood Forrest sits in Santa Rosa Beach, Walton County, with no community amenities identified from current MLS listings — so this is a location-and-house play rather than an amenity-driven one.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Who Sherwood Forrest is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a Santa Rosa Beach location who prioritize lot and structure over shared facilities
- Buyers comfortable underwriting a purchase on individual-property comps rather than a community price story
- Buyers who prefer lower amenity-related carrying costs and will verify each listing's obligations
Probably not for
- Buyers who require an amenity-rich community with a pool, clubhouse, or gated entry
- Buyers who want a clear published price band before touring anything
- Buyers seeking a turnkey deal with no need to scrutinize condition and comps
The Sherwood Forrest buying strategy.
If we were buying in Sherwood Forrest today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Sherwood Forrest.
A house-by-house subdivision
Because there are no shared amenities to lean on here, the buying decision comes down to the individual property and where it falls within Santa Rosa Beach. That is not a knock — it just means you should weigh the lot, the structure, and the surrounding street more heavily than any community narrative.
The absence of HOA-style amenities can also mean fewer carrying costs tied to shared facilities, but confirm that on a per-listing basis. With limited current data on this specific addition, we treat every comp with skepticism and verify before we advise.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Sherwood Forrest. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a subdivision with thin data and no amenity hook, our value is discipline: we price and negotiate off verified nearby sales and the actual condition of the home in front of you, not off a headline number. We will tell you plainly when a listing is fairly priced, when it is stretched, and when this is simply not the right community for what you want.
