The house at 3010 E County Highway 30a was completed in 2020 with seven bedrooms, a custom five-car garage and floor-to-ceiling concrete construction. The $19 million closing led five reported home sales totaling $44.15 million in the Crestview, Florida metro area for the week ending September 20, 2026.
Santa Rosa Beach accounted for three of the week’s closings, two of them in WaterColor, while Destin produced the other two, in the gated Destiny by the Sea and Destiny East communities. The week’s two highest-priced homes both sit directly on the Gulf, and the No. 2 sale was a three-parcel compound holding three separate dwellings.
No. 1 — $19,000,000 · 3010 E County Highway 30a, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida
The four-story house at 3010 E County Highway 30a stands directly on the Gulf in the Seagrove Beach area of Santa Rosa Beach, and it sold for $19 million on September 20, 2026. Seven bedrooms and a custom five-car garage occupy a reported 9,981 square feet. The property previously changed hands for $3,500,000 in 2015, before the current residence was completed in 2020.
Floor-to-ceiling concrete construction runs the height of the house, a method listing materials cite for durability and energy efficiency on a beachfront site. The first level is open in plan behind a wall of windows facing the Gulf of Mexico, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors open onto a rear deck.
A Gulf-front swimming pool sits off that deck with direct access to the beach beyond, and the top floor carries a panoramic view along the coast from Destin to Panama City Beach.
Blankenship Watkins Advisory Group of Christies International Real Estate Emerald Coast represented the listing side of the $19 million transaction, which ranked No. 1 in RealtyWire’s Crestview, Florida Metro Area Top 5 reported home sales for the week. Justin A Endsley of Gulf Realty 30A LLC represented the buyer.

No. 2 — $12,100,000 · 4772 Ocean Blvd, Destin, Florida
Three adjoining parcels at 4774, 4770 and 4772 Ocean Blvd sold together as a single Gulf-front estate for $12.1 million, closing on September 18, 2026. The property runs along more than 140 feet of Gulf frontage in Destiny by the Sea, a guard-gated Destin neighborhood, and the record lists 12 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms across a reported 12,404 square feet in three separate dwellings. It sold furnished, and previously changed hands for $4,223,100 in 2022.
The main Gulf-front residence accounts for more than 10,000 square feet, including an attached casita, and holds nine bedrooms. A three-story atrium rises above the entry, framed by two levels of circular balconies, with a curved staircase and an elevator serving all three floors. The first floor holds a six-seat theater, a game and card room with its own bath, and a powder room finished with a hand-painted mural, all over travertine flooring. The redesigned kitchen is built around two islands in cream-toned quartz and quartzite, with a paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, dual beverage drawers, a Bosch dishwasher, an ice maker and a full-height paneled pantry.
Four ensuite bedrooms occupy the second floor, two with Gulf-front balconies, and the third floor adds two more alongside a primary suite in the eastern corner that opens to its own Gulf-front balcony and takes in a sitting room, a soaking tub and a dual shower. A suspended footbridge links the main house to the casita, which overlooks a 27,000-gallon pool and contains two ensuite bedrooms, an upstairs den, a downstairs gathering room and a single-car garage. A separate guest home in a quiet corner of the estate adds two more ensuite bedrooms, wood floors and shiplap walls, a kitchen built around a reclaimed shipwood island and a two-car garage. Destiny by the Sea residents share roughly half a mile of neighborhood beaches, a guarded entry and a community pool.

No. 5 — $3,650,000 · 17 Saint Bart’s Bay, Destin, Florida
Behind the gates of Destiny East in Destin, the courtyard house at 17 Saint Bart’s Bay traded for $3.65 million; the sale closed September 14, 2026. The record lists six bedrooms and seven bathrooms across a reported 4,123 square feet on a 60-by-300-foot lot, and a separate carriage house adds two bedrooms, a bunk room and three full baths.
Listing materials identify Chris Stoyles of Archiscapes as the designer, Magnolia Custom Homes as the builder and Ashley Grant Interiors for the interior design. More than 150 feet of poured concrete walls, steel-supported framing and a four-foot-wide concrete footer beneath the courtyard underpin the structure, and an elevated parking court paved with Belgian cobblestone sits more than 25 feet above sea level beside a three-car garage with 10-foot doors. Inside, the living room rises to 20-foot vaulted ceilings with hand-hewn cypress beams under a pecky cypress ceiling, while reclaimed heart-of-pine flooring from a historic Georgia barn, shiplap, Venetian plaster and honed Namibian marble counters carry through the house. A 16-foot-long, 10-foot-tall nana wall opens the main floor to the back patio and a covered lanai.
The kitchen holds a 60-inch Wolf gas range with a griddle, double ovens, two Bosch dishwashers and a 48-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, with custom pecky cypress cabinetry by Don Hill milled locally and a scullery off the main room. A first-floor primary suite has 15-foot vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, a soaking tub and a glass shower enclosure, and looks through French doors onto the courtyard garden. That courtyard holds a heated pool with laminar jets, an overflow spa, mature Sylvester palms and paver decking, alongside an outdoor kitchen with a gas grill, side burner, refrigerator and quartz counters.
Fourteen gas lanterns, an outdoor fireplace, a children’s playground behind the carriage house and mature oaks and olive trees fill out the grounds. Five homes share the gated private beach boardwalk directly south of the property, and Destiny East residents have a clubhouse with a gym, a theater, pools, tennis courts and a playground.
