About DRAPER LAKE

Draper Lake Coastal Village is a gated community south of Scenic Highway 30A in South Walton, where Adirondack-inspired houses sit among wooded landscapes beside a rare coastal dune lake. Its architecture and emphasis on shared green spaces give the neighborhood a distinctly different feel from nearby beach communities.

Walking trails, a pedestrian bridge, and a protected shoreline buffer connect residents with the natural surroundings. Amenities include two pools, two boathouses with kayak and paddleboard storage, and a 48-foot observation tower. An owners’ cabana near Gulfview Heights Regional Beach Access provides parking, restrooms, and an outdoor shower.

Homes for sale in Draper Lake Coastal Village include single-family residences overlooking village greens or the lake. Nearby 30A restaurants and shops complement the community’s quieter, nature-focused setting.

At 53 Cedar Post Road, life settles into the rhythm of the lake. This 2014 Heritage Builders home sits in Draper Lake Coastal Village in Blue Mountain Beach facing the village green and the neighborhood's iconic 48-foot observation tower. A footpath from the screened porch leads to the lakeside trail, just 275 feet from the back door. Cedar siding and solid stacked river rock let the home sit comfortably among the pines, with views of the lake and the Gulf beyond looking down Cedar Post Road. Downstairs, wide-plank oak floors carry through the main living areas, and tall windows, transoms and French doors fill the living room with daylight beneath a vaulted shiplap ceiling and white beams. The room opens to an eat-in kitchen centered on a generous island with seating for seven, with quartz counters, a marble mosaic backsplash and a stainless apron-front farmhouse sink. Luxury appliances include a Thermador range, hood and refrigerator and dual-temperature KitchenAid wine refrigerator. The home's living space extends to a screened porch off the kitchen and a covered deck off the living area. Located right off the foyer, the main-level primary suite remains distinctly private from the upper-level sleeping quarters. Lush outdoor greenery frames the window, complementing the wide-plank oak flooring to create a serene retreat. A custom built-in desk, file storage and shelving sit discreetly behind classic paneled doors, allowing your remote workspace to cleanly shut away at dusk. Nearby, the serene primary bath showcases a frameless glass enclosure equipped with a rain shower head, hand sprayer, built-in bench and tactile pebble flooring framed by large-format tile and bright windows. A dual walk-in closet system and a slate gray shaker vanity enhanced by a pebble mosaic backsplash complete the private suite. Upstairs, three light-filled bedrooms with vaulted ceilings provide welcoming accommodations for family and guests. Soaking in natural light and tranquil treetop vistas through tall multi-pane windows, each room maintains the seamless flow of wide-plank oak flooring. One bedroom serves as an ensuite sanctuary complete with a private bath and walk-in closet, while two guest bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath adorned with a double vanity and an elegant glass mosaic backsplash. Set quietly behind sliding barn doors, an upper-level family room beneath a vaulted ceiling with an overhead fan creates a cozy secondary retreat. The large covered porch above the two-car carport is the home's favorite place to gather. At about 400 square feet, it is shaded, breezy and softened with sheer curtains, with an exposed-beam ceiling and a fan overhead. A dining table and plenty of comfortable seating make it easy to host a long dinner or simply linger. Draper Lake is a gated, non-rental community built around one of South Walton's fifteen named coastal dune lakes. Planned by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company, the firm behind Seaside, Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach, it is designed so that every home and amenity blends with its natural surroundings. Neighbors share two pools with fireplace pavilions, two boathouses on the lake with Gulf access, trails, bridges and greens, and a private beach cabana at the Gulfview Heights beach access. The Timpoochee Trail, dining and shops are close by.

Located behind the gated entry of Draper Lake Coastal Village, 39 North Branch Road is a custom residence designed by architect Chris Stoyles and built by Luke & Blue in 2019. The 2,617-sq.-ft. home features three bedrooms and 3.5 baths in the main residence, complemented by a private one-bedroom, one-bath carriage house above the 1.5-car garage. The architecture reflects the neighborhood's distinctive character, with steeply pitched gabled roofs, shingle-clad exterior walls, generous covered porches, and screened outdoor spaces. Inside, walnut hardwood floors run throughout, and the kitchen features Thermador appliances. The open kitchen, dining, and living areas create an inviting central gathering space, with a first-floor bedroom suite and two additional bedrooms upstairs. The primary suite opens to its own screened porch, offering a quiet place to enjoy the morning light or settle in with a book. On the main level, a covered front porch welcomes you into the home, while the screened patio at the rear provides a private outdoor retreat with an in-ground heated spa and outdoor TV. The patio connects directly to the garage and carriage house, making it especially convenient for guests and everyday living. Draper Lake Coastal Village is a gated, dune-lake community on Scenic Highway 30A inspired by the great communities of the Adirondacks and planned by the same visionaries behind Seaside, Florida, and Rosemary and Alys Beaches. With no short-term rentals permitted, the community maintains a quiet residential character, while residents enjoy two private pools, boathouses, beautiful walking trails, and a private beach cabana with bathrooms at the Gulfview Heights Beach access.

It's the beginning of a life lived slower, closer to water, minutes from 30A's dining, shopping, and bike path, yet worlds away from the everyday.
