Imagine designing your coastal masterpiece from the ground up, positioned high on a sun-washed bluff in the prized Seahighland neighborhood. At 240 Montgomery St, an extraordinary 87 feet of Gulf frontage stretches before you, offering unobstructed views across the shimmering emerald waters that make this stretch of 30A legendary. This is a rare vacant, high-and-dry parcel--a blank canvas awaiting the beachfront dream home you've long envisioned. Elevated above the shoreline, the lot delivers both dramatic vistas and the peace of mind that comes with its natural rise. Even more remarkable, it stands as the only Gulf-front Seagrove lot boasting a gazebo perched directly above the beach, a coveted feature that would be nearly impossible to replicate today. The outdoor possibilities feel endless here. Picture morning coffee beneath that gazebo, sunset gatherings on a wraparound porch, or simply the freedom to shape every inch of your future retreat around the sea. Location only deepens the appeal. Andalusia Beach Access sits nearby, placing sugar-white sand and gentle surf within instant reach. Everyday errands are effortless with Publix at WaterColor Crossings just up the road, while the acclaimed Seaside Neighborhood School anchors this tight-knit, accessible community. Surrounded by natural beauty and the relaxed rhythm of 30A living, this property invites vision and ambition alike. Opportunities to build directly on the Gulf--elevated and thoughtfully positioned--rarely surface. Seize this one and craft something truly unforgettable.
Santa Rosa Beach, located between Grayton Beach State Park and Seaside, is a coastal and low-rise Miramar Beach neighborhood with dune-backed shorelines and pine-flatwood trails. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 30A corridor near the County Highway 393 junction, where bike traffic, beach cruisers, and small storefronts set a relaxed, design-forward pace. Architectural cues lean toward coastal cottages and contemporary beach homes with deep porches and metal roofs. Gulf views and rare coastal dune lakes shape daily rhythms, with boardwalks and trailheads threading through scrub and sand. Community pillars include The REP Theatre in Seaside, the open-air E.O. Wilson Park, and the long-running Grayton Beer Company taproom.
