We blogged two weeks ago about the luxury home that will be given away at WindMark Beach in Northwest Florida (the sweepstakes begins today, by the way).  But The St. Joe Company is also marking the grand opening of its Village Center at WindMark Beach. Designed by six of the nation’s most recognized architects, including Margaret McCurry of Tigerman McCurry and John Kirk of Cooper, Robertson & Partners, WindMark Beach is offering a number of new amenities for visitors and buyers, including the School of Fish Restaurant, luxury loft homes available for weekly/nightly rental, The WindMark Beach Club, a public BeachWalk, and a community amphitheater.

WindMark Beach home sites are now priced from $99,500 to $546,000 and homes range from $1,095,000 to $1,295,000 million. Homes were designed to capture the essence of vernacular Southern architectural style, with such trademarks as tin roofs, open breezeways, large wood porches.
