Valhalla

Valhalla beckons from its perfect perch on a bluff between a coastal dune lake and the white sand beaches of the Gulf. Architect Carey McWhorter has designed a stunning coastal residence on a triple wide lot with a leafy canopy of twenty foot trees, over which the top floors of the home rise. Arresting Gulf and lake views are seen from the plethora of windows; the layout is in close harmony with the up and down flow of the land. Principles of feng shui are incorporated; the goal being to balance the way energy flows in, through and around the house to achieve a harmonious ch’i, or life force. Contemporary, with a decided Eastern influence, the home is a treat for the senses and enjoys an unusual intimacy with the land.
Bamboo floors, stainless steel appliances, a multitude of windows, some floor to ceiling, a pool room, lap pool, many decks and porches, the zen garden and a fenced-in yard—the attributes of Valhalla go on and on. Lake access is available from the neighborhood dock—bring or rent a canoe or kayak (no motorized craft are allowed). Enjoy this secluded South Walton home, yet be within minutes of golf, shops, restaurants and Panama City Beach’s Pier Park, which has everything.
