Ryan Rd Crestview, FL 32539

Beautiful Waterfront Property Located on Shoal River’s paddling trail. Minutes to shopping, dining and the best Crestview has to offer while maintaining the feeling of a peaceful, private homestead. Located on a 9.5-mile designated paddling segment. Shoal River runs between Ray Barnes (US-90) and Bi...ll Duggan Jr. Park (SR-85). Making this a premier spot for canoe/kayak floats and short boat trips. This Lot is a Rare, high-and-dry riverfront parcel on the spring-fed river just outside of Crestview. This Lot Features a Private inside-bend river access with a white natural sand beach, direct river frontage ideal for a dock, and quick access to public boat ramps and a 9.5-mile designated paddling trail. The Property sits at the end of a 66-ft wide, 5,280-ft easement drive for absolute privacy. Perfect for a private river estate, recreation retreat, or small eco-resort. The property lies immediately adjacent to large conserved/managed tracts backing up to ~400 acres of hunting preserve and near county-acquired conservation parcels that are being developed into public park/trail access. These public acquisitions increase long-term recreation value and help protect views and wildlife. Major regional industrial/economic development is focused at Shoal River Ranch (the “Gigasite”) and Shoal River Industrial Park east of Crestview; planned utilities, roads and rail access are being extended into the area. In 2025 Okaloosa County has public reporting on a large aerospace/manufacturing commitment (Williams International) located at the Shoal River industrial area. Which is a major regional economic driver. Over the past year, Okaloosa County has been acquiring Shoal River parcels including a 229-acre purchase and multiple smaller lot acquisitions in to expand public access, trails and parkland along the river. This is a great opportunity to own a truly unique property right on Shoal river with tons of growth potential. Continue reading
