The Best of Both Worlds: Conveniently close to town, but no HOA restrictions!

This 1+ acre corner lot located in the popular Juniper Lake Estates neighborhood has paved road access, and is just minutes from the public lake access point.

The Urban Residential Zoning of this lot, and the absence of an HOA, means you can put a mobile here if you like, or a modular, stick-built – whatever your preference!

The land is wooded with beautiful mature trees, and its topography is practically flat. The north boundary has about 350 feet of direct road frontage on Bret Drive (a dirt road), and the western boundary of the land has about 175 feet of direct frontage on Beethoven Circle (a paved road). This double road-frontage means you’ll have plenty of options to locate a driveway and orient your home.Electric is at the road, and county water is available on Beethoven Cir, according to the Defuniak Springs Department of Public Works. Call for more details. Sewer would require the installation of a septic system – not currently installed.

A note about the acreage: County records show it as 1.00 acre at times, and also 1.24 acres at other times. Since this property hasn’t been surveyed, we’re marketing this as being “1 acre or more”. We think the true acreage is somewhere around 1.15 acres, but only a survey would show conclusively.

Nearby comparable lots for sale show that this is a fantastic price. Don’t miss it!

The Region

Walton County is located on the Emerald Coast in the panhandle of Florida. The Emerald Coast is known for its white sandy beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. You might recognize Walton County from some of the outdoor filming scenes in the movie The Truman Show, which was filmed partly in Seaside, FL.

The highest natural point in Florida – Britton Hill – is also in Walton County, and stands at 345 feet above sea level.

The Neighborhood

Juniper Lake Estates is just 10 minutes north of downtown Defuniak Springs, FL, making it a very convenient community to live in. Some of the roads in this neighborhood are dirt roads, but this lot sits on the paved Oakridge Rd.

This is an established neighborhood with county water supply, centered around Juniper Lake itself. Just around the corner from this lot is Juniper Lake Park, which will give you boat and canoe access to the lake, also grills, pavilions, picnic tables and public restrooms.
