Gulf Coast Welcomes First 'Beyond Green' Community at Waterview at Inlet Beach

Waterview at Inlet Beach inWalton County, Fla. is a new, intimate beach community of 48 immaculate lots and StalwartBuilt "Beyond Green" homes offering an upscale elegance and luxury with a significant difference. At Waterview, the lot with a home and breathtaking ocean view starts at just $399,000.

One of the most exciting aspects of living at Waterview is that the electricity for the homes can be produced by solar energy according to Waterview developer Jeff Tucker, president of theAtlanta-based J. Tucker Development Partners, Inc.

The 7.5-acre community at Inlet Beach near the State Park will feature modular homes to be certified by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System.

Extreme green features include solar panels providing energy, a "desuperheater" providing free hot water, geothermal unit for heating and air, spray foam insulation in the attic and under the house for a perfectly sealed "building envelope," high-tech air filtration system, low-E windows, sustainable bamboo flooring, Energy Star rated GE appliances, and low VOC paint. All the homes at Waterview will be designed to withstand 140 mph winds.

Earlier this year StalwartBuilt earned the definitive credential in the green building industry -- a Platinum score from the LEED for Homes rating system by the U.S. Green Building Council -- making a single-family "net zero" energy residence in Callaway Corners, Fla. -- the first in the Southeast and the second in the country.

    Waterview is coastal living at its simplest, and most enjoyable.
