Just minutes from the beach, 157 Baird Road offers an unexpected sense of tranquility in the coveted Beach Highlands neighborhood on 30-A. Cascading stone waterfalls, a pond, mature landscaping, Gulf views, and multiple outdoor living spaces give this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home a character all its own. With approximately 2,650 square feet and no HOA, the property offers space and flexibility for enjoying the 30A lifestyle.
The water and landscape are at the heart of the experience. Approximately 11,000 pounds of fieldstone and aged flagstone were brought in from Alabama to create the custom waterfalls. Submerged pumps circulate water over the stone, creating the calming sound of moving water throughout the outdoor areas.
Inside, the three-story layout blends coastal character with comfortable gathering spaces. Shiplap, raised ceilings, built-ins, recessed lighting, and a fireplace add warmth and texture. The kitchen features a large island and breakfast bar, pantry, and wine refrigerator and connects naturally with the living and dining areas.
The three bedrooms and 3.5 baths are arranged across multiple levels, with the primary suite on the third floor. Balconies and covered porches provide different perspectives of the surrounding landscape, water features, and Gulf views. An outdoor shower and generous parking add practical convenience for time spent at the beach. An approximately 400-square-foot game room adds valuable living and entertainment space and is currently set up with a sectional sofa, arcade game, foosball table, and wall-mounted TV. It creates a separate place for games, movies, and downtime without taking away from the home's primary living areas.
Located on the west end of 30A, the home is convenient to the beaches of South Walton, dining, shopping, biking, and recreation. For buyers considering the property as a vacation rental, projected annual gross rental revenue is approximately $90,000 to $130,000. What ultimately distinguishes 157 Baird Road is the opportunity to retreat into a peaceful natural setting while remaining close to everything that makes the 30A lifestyle so desirable.
