Wild Heron

Wild Heron is a 734-acre gated community of more than 500 homes, condominiums and homesites located on Powell Lake, about 13 miles northwest of Panama City Beach and 37 miles east of Destin. Homes and condominiums in Wild Heron are constructed with a coastal craftsman style, with slate, river rock, split stone, glass, wood and metal finishes designed to enhance the natural beauty of the area. A nice feature about the land plan is that no homes back up to each other.

 

 

The secluded community of Wild Heron offers its residents a wealth of on-site amenities, including tennis courts; lakeside grill; community swimming pool; fitness center; boardwalks; trails; boathouse and community dock for accessing the lake; and, serving as the centerpiece of Wild Heron, the Greg Norman-designed Shark's Tooth Golf Club.

 

David Weekley Homes is now building award-winning new homes in Wild Heron. In this 734-acre coastal sanctuary, they offer stunning, energy-efficient homes surrounded by tall oaks with views of Sharks Tooth Golf Club and Lake Powell.

 

One of the unique amenities, located by the lake's edge, is a fire pit with seating for up to 20 people for evening gatherings and storytelling. It's the perfect spot for a cool fall evening with family and friends. (Use of some of the described amenities requires the purchase of separate club membership.)

The amenities and natural beauty of Wild Heron will serve to keep its residents happy, but for those wanting dining, shopping and other recreational opportunities, the Gulf-front beaches of Scenic are just a short drive away.

 

Visitors and homeowners alike have easy access to their favorite beaches through The Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The airport is just 17 miles northeast of Wild Heron. The airport designation is ECP, and is the first international airport built in the U.S. since 2011.
