Wild Heron is a secluded, rental-restricted residential community located east of Destin, along the shores of Lake Powell, Floridas largest coastal dune lake. Within the next five years the 734-acre coastal sanctuary will be home to fewer than 600 privileged families.

The Greg Norman-designed Sharks Tooth Golf Club is the centerpiece of Wild Heron, and has been ranked one of Americas best new private golf courses by Golf Digest and was awarded a coveted Silver Signature Sanctuary status from Audubon International, making it the only18-hole, private golf course in Florida to carry the signature status.

Wild Herons developers include Medallist Developments, a joint venture between Greg Normans Great White Shark Enterprises and Macquarie Bank of Australia, in partnership with Hillman Properties of Pittsburgh, PA. The partnership has appointed Head Companies of Point Clear, AL to act as project manager for new development. Intrawest Golf was selected to operate Wild Herons golf course.
