WaterColor’s Most Refined $11.2 Million Estate Blends Coastal Luxury with Smart Living
A Landmark Estate in the Heart of WaterColor
Tucked away in the prestigious WaterColor community of Santa Rosa Beach real estate, 191 Sand Hill Cir emerges as a defining estate in one of Florida’s most coveted coastal neighborhoods. Priced at $12 million, this 8,314-square-foot residence reimagines luxury through a lens of thoughtful craftsmanship, coastal design, and architectural integrity.
Built in 2019 as a collaboration between architect Geoff Chick, interior designer Cara Richardson of Lovelace Interiors, and the homeowner, the estate reflects a deep commitment to both elegance and function. From its unique position between a pocket park and protected state forest to its sculpted interiors and rare carriage house, every detail of this home in Santa Rosa Beach for sale is intentionally curated.
Design Meets Functionality at Every Turn
Entering the residence, guests are immediately met with dramatic Venetian plaster walls and custom artisan lighting. Each of the seven bedrooms features its own en-suite bathroom, furnished with bespoke dual vanities, premium Q-Tile surfaces, and hand-selected bedding. The interior palette balances warmth and texture, enhanced by statement pieces from award-winning artist Mary Hong, whose works are seamlessly integrated into the architecture.
The living room is anchored by soaring beamed ceilings and a fireplace that blends rustic charm with contemporary refinement. The open-concept floor plan guides residents into a chef’s kitchen, which boasts Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a central island, and a butler’s pantry equipped with a second oven and dishwasher. Enhancing everyday ease, three laundry rooms are strategically placed throughout the home to support large-scale hosting and multigenerational living.
“The attention to flow is unmatched,” notes listing agent Randy Carroll of Scenic Sotheby’s International Realty. “Every inch of the home was designed to offer both comfort and utility without sacrificing beauty.”
Outdoor Living Inspired by Boutique Resorts
A highlight of 191 Sand Hill Cir is its seamless integration of outdoor and indoor spaces, reflecting the lifestyle that has made Santa Rosa Beach home for sale so desirable. The resort-style pool is the centerpiece of the backyard oasis, framed by two pavilions – one featuring a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with built-in grill, and the other acting as a cozy retreat complete with gas fireplace and wall-mounted TV.
The lush landscaping is fully irrigated and adorned with elegant rain chains, creating peaceful sightlines and a sensory experience of moving water. The grounds, totaling 0.27 acres, are enclosed with full fencing and boast rear access to the state forest, offering serenity and seclusion within walking distance of WaterColor’s town center and beach access points.
Interior designer Cara Richardson shared with Luxury Houses Magazine that, “This home was meant to flow like a narrative – from the moment you step in, there’s a rhythm of light, texture, and openness that invites rest, play, and inspiration.”

Technology, Comfort, and Artistic Legacy
Modern conveniences are discreetly integrated through a Control4 smart system, allowing homeowners to manage climate, lighting, audio, and security at the touch of a screen. Whether you’re hosting guests, setting the ambiance for a quiet evening, or monitoring the home remotely, the technology adapts to your needs.
The Santa Rosa Beach real estate also features two climate-controlled, two-car garages – a rarity in WaterColor – plus a luxurious carriage house above one of them, making this property the only one in the community to offer such vehicle and guest accommodations. A GEM car and two electric bikes are included with the home, adding practical flair to this coastal lifestyle offering.
Location, Community, and Amenities
WaterColor is one of the most celebrated master-planned communities along Florida’s iconic Highway 30A. Known for its white-sand beaches, tranquil lakes, and walkable urban design, the community offers amenities like multiple pools, tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds, nature trails, and the exclusive WaterColor Beach Club. This particular Santa Rosa Beach home for sale is within close distance of upscale dining, boutique shops, and weekly farmers markets, while top-rated schools and family medical services add to its appeal for full-time residents.
The neighborhood is equally suitable for seasonal escapees and investors. The quarterly HOA fee of $1,200 includes grounds maintenance, recreational facilities, security, and cable services, offering a worry-free experience in a well-managed enclave.
“191 Sand Hill Cir isn’t just a showpiece – it functions like a dream,” Randy Carroll told Luxury Houses Magazine. “This is where architecture meets lifestyle, and where everyday living feels like a retreat.”
Sales History and Market Context
The property was originally sold in 2004 for $691,500, then acquired in 2016 for $1,500,000 – a strategic move before Santa Rosa Beach became one of the Gulf Coast’s premier markets. Now listed at $11,950,000, 191 Sand Hill Cir represents nearly a 700% appreciation in value over less than a decade, showcasing the strength of the Santa Rosa Beach real estate market.
With a Zestimate® of $11,154,000 and tax assessed value at over $7.7M, the listing price is firmly anchored within market realities. The property was recently featured on the cover of Florida Design Magazine, earning recognition not just for its aesthetic, but for its smart investment positioning on 30A.
The Final Word: A Legacy Home for Generations
More than just an opulent residence, 191 Sand Hill Cir is an heirloom estate. It exemplifies the highest standards of architecture, artistry, and livability in one of the most coveted enclaves on the Gulf Coast. For discerning buyers seeking a blend of sophistication, privacy, and community, this property offers a rare chance to own one of WaterColor’s true architectural masterpieces. “This is not the kind of home that will ever be repeated,” Carroll concludes. “It’s generational. It’s art you live in.”
