Supplements: Turn off of Florida's Gulf Coast Scenic HIGHWAY 30-A to find this GEM; where the homes are as distinguished as the beaches are IMPECCABLE. There's a reason why the area has been coined as "FLORIDA'S BEST KEPT SECRET" by FORBES. Glimmering waters and sparkling white sand resembles that of international destinations, providing the perfect backdrop for a life reimagined. While many refer to the area as the HAMPTONS OF THE SOUTH, it may come as a surprise that along the dunes of South Walton there is more to behold than Traditional Coastal Architecture. It seems very common for people to dream of life by the sea or of spending their days relaxing in a Villa in Tuscany... but what may have not occurred to them is that it is possible to have the BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. Under the Tuscan Sun, bodegas and farmer's markets provide organic wines, olive oil, farm-fresh produce and other local delicacies.
