Robert Monk Florida Real Estate

Driftwood Estates is a little-known jewel in the crown of coastal living. Located in Santa Rosa Beach on Choctawhatchee Bay, only minutes from the Gulf of Mexico, Driftwood Estates enjoys boating, fishing, biking, convenient shopping, restaurants, a new hospital, several inland lakes, and a county party currently under construction. Watching the dolphin frolic in the bay is a daily ritual in Driftwood.

Driftwood Estates is the tip of a peninsula extending north into Choctawhatchee Bay. Driftwood lies five miles north from the Gulf of Mexico adjacent to the Sandestin Resort. Topsail State Park, Sacred Heart Hospital, shops and restaurants of the Grand Boulevard, and the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico are all conveniently located within minutes of Driftwood Estates.

Located four miles east of the Mid-Bay Bridge, residents enjoy spectacular sunrises, sunsets, and a pleasant breeze all year round.

Driftwood Estates is a peaceful mix of quality modern homes by Wayne Adams, and many spectacular bay front estate homes on the perimeter shoreline.

With the arrival of the new Sacred Heart Hospital, a large number of new homes were constructed in the general vicinity of the new hospital, too many for the market to absorb so quickly. With that swing of the pendulum, Driftwood Estates became a bargain-hunter's paradise, but it won't last forever, nor will these unbelievable interest rates.

To visit Driftwood Estates, take Mac Bayou Road north at the Sacred Heart Hospital intersection on Emerald Coast Parkway. You will come to two ‘Stop' signs, turn left at both ‘Stop' signs. This brings you into Driftwood Estates.

Here are a few pictures of sunsets on Choctawhatchee Bay, from Driftwood Estates, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. Amazing sunsets appear everyday, but today was special. Hope you enjoy.

Isn't that breathtaking?! When you have scenery like this to work with, you don't need to be a great photographer.

Can you think of any other planet you would prefer to live on?

Just more reason to love Driftwood Estates, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, and Choctawhatchee Bay

Spring is a special time here in Driftwood Estates.. It seems like everything beautiful grows in abundance.

Why, there are more colors here than you find in a rainbow! And the insects, and lizards, and birds, and bees,... they're just everywhere you look! I really need to get a picture of the beautiful little humming birds that visit us during this time. And soon, the most beautiful bluebirds the eye can see will stop to say 'hello'... Gosh, what a wonderful place to live!!

Looking northwest from the shoreline in Driftwood Estates, reveals one more testimony to the logic of living in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. Now I ask you, can there be a more peaceful, tranquil place in the world? Where dolphins frolic in Choctawhatchee Bay, birds of all sizes and shapes fill the airspace, while small sea creatures scramble busily at the shoreline... Just another reminder of why we live in Florida!!

This bass weighs over eight pounds. For you fresh water bass enthusiasts, that's the one you spend your fishing life trying to catch. This one was caught from a pond of a few acres which borders on a property I have listed. The sportsman who caught this bass quickly released back into its water. It is the biggest freshwater fish I've ever watched a person catch. The sportsman who caught the fish was gentle with his fishing rod, being careful not to injure the fish unnecessarily. Below is a better picture of the pond/lake. This type of lake is found throughout northwest Florida.
