SANTA ROSA BEACH, Fla., March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On April 10, 2025, three new oceanside homes will be offered for sale at luxury auction, reports Platinum Luxury Auctions, the Miami-based auction house specializing in the auction sale of multimillion-dollar residential properties. Platinum is offering the properties in partnership with listing brokerage Christie’s International Real Estate Emerald Coast (formerly Engel & Völkers 30A Beaches). Beau Blankenship, a top-producing luxury sales agent in the area, is the listing agent of record for the three properties.

Previously, each property was asking $6 million or more, but now at least one of the three homes will now be sold to the highest auction bidder without reserve. Following the sale of the first property, the seller has the option to also sell the second and/or third property without reserve. According to Platinum, the seller will make that decision on auction day, based upon the property preferences cited by the bidders as part of their registration for the sales. Those bidder preferences will also determine which property will be sold first, and without reserve. Any properties that are not sold without reserve will be offered subject to the seller’s confirmation, meaning the seller can immediately negotiate the highest bid in real-time with the given bidder(s).

The three-property offering marks Platinum’s return to the 30A market following a successful luxury auction sale in Santa Rosa Beach in June of 2024. That $4.2 million sale was completed on behalf of the same developer who owns the three properties headed for the auction block in April. “The seller is an active developer specializing in luxury homes throughout the 30A region,” according to Platinum’s founder and president, Trayor Lesnock. “While much of his inventory has sold traditionally, he has enough experience and market savvy to understand the value of the expeditious, non-contingent sales provided by the luxury auction process, which serve to optimize the transfer of his remaining properties as the market begins to naturally recalibrate.”

Each of the three beach homes was completed in 2024. One is located in Inlet Beach and two are located side-by-side in nearby Santa Rosa Beach. The homes were built to serve as private residences or for use as high-end rental properties, given the area’s well-established demand for vacation rentals. The Inlet Beach home can sleep up to 24 guests, while each of the Santa Rosa homes sleeps up to 16 guests.

All homes are designed in an elegant yet relaxed “beach chic” style, with clean, spacious interiors filled with natural light. The two Santa Rosa Beach homes were designed by award-winning architect Christopher Reebals, a 20-year veteran in residential and commercial design. The three homes each offer three living levels, with the Inlet Beach home also featuring a rooftop deck with 360-degree views, in addition to private and deeded beach access, a valuable commodity in the 30A market.

Basic details of the three properties are as follows… Each property is sited on a manicured parcel slightly larger than 0.30 acres. The larger Inlet Beach home, located at 100 Brenda Lane, has 5,743 sf of living area, with 7 bedrooms, 7 full and one-half bath. The two Santa Rosa Beach homes, at 58 Woodward Drive and 62 Woodward Drive, offer frontage on a small lake. At 58 Woodward, interiors span 5,502 sf, with 5 bedrooms and 7 full bathrooms. Next door at 62 Woodward, living areas also occupy 5,502 sf, with 5 bedrooms, 7 full and one-half baths. All homes have private pools surrounded by paved, outdoor living areas.

The coastal area known as “30A” consists of the beachfront and oceanside lands located south of County Road 30A, which stretches 24 miles between Destin and Panama City, along the coastline of Florida’s panhandle. It’s home to some of Florida’s most charming seaside towns, with their pristine beaches and clear ocean waters. It was the 30A town of Seaside which served as the idyllic, fictional hometown of Seahaven Island in actor Jim Carey’s hit film The Truman Show.

Property tours are available by daily appointment until April 9, and must be scheduled through Platinum’s project manager, Renee Alossi, by calling 800.674.2997. Additional details, photos, video and due diligence documents are also available online at 30ALuxuryAuction.com.

As Events Across Nation Face New Kinds of Threats, Miami & Ultra Music Festival Has Adapted & the Public is Safer

MIAMI, March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ultra Music Festival 2025, taking place March 28–30 at Bayfront Park in downtown Miami, has once again selected SaferWatch as its safety reporting tool for the fifth consecutive year. This ongoing partnership is part of Ultra’s commitment to keep its high-energy celebration safe for all attendees. Festival-goers will have multiple, convenient channels to promptly report any safety concerns or incidents in real-time, helping law enforcement and fire rescue and event security respond swiftly without dampening the festival’s electric atmosphere.

Attendees are encouraged to “See Something, Send Something” by reporting issues through any of the following methods:

Call: 305-800-8477

Text: 305-800-8477

SaferWatch App: Submit photos and videos via the SaferWatch mobile app (Accessible on smartphones via the Apple App Store and Google Play.)

All reports can be made anonymously, ensuring that anyone can alert authorities to suspicious activity or emergencies without hesitation. Once a report is submitted, the SaferWatch app immediately notifies on-site security and law enforcement of the user’s location and details of the incident. The platform also supports two-way communication, so officials can provide instructions or ask follow-up questions as needed. By empowering attendees to share tips, including photos or videos directly from their phones, Ultra and SaferWatch aim to address potential issues proactively – often before they escalate.

This year marks five years of collaboration between Ultra and SaferWatch. The results of this sustained effort speak for themselves: Ultra’s 2022 festival saw a record low number of security incidents after new measures like the SaferWatch system were implemented. With over 170,000 people attending Ultra 2022 and similarly large crowds expected in 2025, the continued use of SaferWatch underscores Ultra’s dedication to attendee safety at large-scale events. Organizers have continually expanded safety initiatives—from increased on-site police and security presence to technology partnerships like SaferWatch—to create a secure environment where fans can focus on enjoying the music.

“Ultra Music Festival is an incredible event that brings together hundreds of thousands of fans. Ultra is committed to keeping their attendees safe and we are proud to play a role in the proactive and real-time safety measures for a large event like this,” said Geno Roefaro, CEO of SaferWatch. “By giving every attendee an easy, anonymous way to alert law enforcement and fire rescue to any concern, SaferWatch empowers festival-goers to play an active role in keeping the festival as safe as possible. We are proud to continue our partners in hip with Ultra for the fifth year running, helping to ensure everyone can enjoy the music while knowing that safety is a top priority.”
