Some backyards have trees. This one backs to protected state land. Welcome to 164 Stonegate Circle. A rare Santa Rosa Beach find: a 4-bedroom, 2-bath smart home backing to state-owned forest land - protected under Florida Forest Service ownership and Conservation zoning. Single level and located in Stonegate, a community just 8-10 minutes from 30A beach access, Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, and Grand Boulevard, with the elementary school also about 10 minutes away. Built in 2019 and meticulously maintained, this home features LVP flooring (no carpet), 9-foot ceilings, and a chef-ready kitchen with tile backsplash, soft-close cabinets, custom pantry with appliance tower. The primary suite includes his and her walk-in closets with dual rods and motion-sensor lighting. Enjoy Florida living on the screened, fan-cooled back porch overlooking a fully fenced yard and untouched forest views. Smart-home security (owned), full-yard Rain Bird irrigation, gutters, and hurricane window covers add lasting value and peace of mind.
