Expensive Real Estate in South Walton County Florida - 03/12/09 10:59 PM
A house in The Retreat was the highest property sold in all of 2008 in South Walton County Florida.  It is 6,167 sq.ft with 4 bedrooms 4/2 baths that sits majestically looking over the Gulf of Mexico.  It sold for $6,000,000 in April of 2008.
