Just off US Highway 90 west of downtown DeFuniak Springs, this new-construction 3-bed, 2-bath ranch sits on 1.14 wooded acres in Wildwood Lakes. Under construction now, it pairs room to breathe with an easy run to I-10, Crestview and the South Walton beaches. The single-story plan offers 1,602 heated square feet with 9-foot ceilings. A trey-ceiling foyer opens into a vaulted living room that flows into the kitchen, where a large island with seating keeps the cook in the conversation. The primary suite sits at the back for privacy, with a double trey ceiling, its own door to the rear covered porch, a walk-in closet, and a bath with a double vanity and walk-in shower. Two more bedrooms share a hall bath with a double vanity. An inside laundry room and an extra walk-in storage closet round out the plan. Outside, a 29-foot covered front porch on brick-based columns and a 196-square-foot rear covered porch add two places to sit. The oversized attached garage runs about 20 by 41 feet with a 16-foot door plus a side door, room for vehicles and a workshop, boat or golf cart. Built on a slab and engineered to a 140-mph design wind standard with hurricane strapping and tie-downs. The rear of the lot backs to platted wetland and preservation easements, so the woods behind the house stay woods. Flood Zone X per survey. Walton County schools. New construction on an acre-plus homesite at this size rarely comes open. Exterior images are renderings.
