Arizona Tribune - New Otter Creek Preserve Community Brings Dockable Waterfront Acreage and Direct Gulf Access Near Panama City Beach

EBRO, FL / ACCESS Newswire / September 23, 2026 / Southeastern Land Partners, an affiliate of National Land Partners, today announced the first pre-construction release of homesites at Otter Creek Preserve, a new Northwest Florida waterfront acreage community near Panama City Beach. The one-day sale will take place Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026, and will feature a limited selection of 3- to 20-acre wooded properties with dockable waterfront or water access.

The introductory release includes 3-acre dockable waterfront homesites sale priced from $139,900 and 20-acre wooded water-access homesites sale priced from $199,900. Select homesites provide direct Gulf access by boat. Boaters can travel approximately 15 miles to Choctawhatchee Bay and continue to popular destinations across the Emerald Coast.

Community features include a boat ramp, scenic walking trails and waterfront picnic areas. Private and county roads serve the community, and electricity and high-speed internet are available. Buyers may purchase now and build later, with financing options available.

The announcement comes as Washington County continues to grow. U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the county reached an estimated 26,695 residents on July 1, 2025, up 5.4% from its April 1, 2020 estimates base. Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, located in neighboring Bay County, reported nearly 1.9 million passengers in 2024, a 501% increase from its first year of operation. The airport is approximately 20 minutes from Otter Creek Preserve.

"Buyers can reach Choctawhatchee Bay and the Emerald Coast by boat while remaining close to the beach, airport and everyday conveniences."
