New Residential Development Planned For Highway 97 In Molino
July 23, 2023
A new residential development is being proposed for Highway 97 in Molino.
Bluewater Creek Estates would be a 33-lot single family residential community located on 185 acres in the 1400 block of Highway 97 just north of Sunshine Hill Road. Plans show the single family homes located on lots ranging in size from four to 12 acres.
The development would be served by Molino Utilities for potable water and private septic systems for wastewater because sewer is not available.
The development, as proposed by Hammond Engineering, is currently in the pre-application stage with the Escambia County Development Review Committee.

will all roads be paved if not the county should say no
If you’re pro-capitalism, favor small government and deregulation, want a strong economy, and are one of those that crow about all the “freedom” in Florida, then you are learning a hard lesson and have no right to complain.
I really question if this will be affordable for most people, 4-12 acres….
The state of Florida has the worst inflation of any state (9%), this is mostly driven by the lack of AFFORDABE HOUSING.
Where are people to live if you don’t let them build??
The county needs affordable small housing, and apartments for seniors (single story) that are not government income related, whom most don’t qualify for. Where are seniors to live when the need is to downsize?
Foe those of us that live within a mile of there, or less in my case, your property values will soar. That is a silver lining in the rain cloud. Of course, taxes will also soar. But I say, let them build it. It’s a free market and as long as they meet the existing zoning requirements, its legal, it’s capitalism in action.
I don’t like it, but nothing I can do about it. I just pray that whoever buys this far out in the country learns to coexist with the wild animals that will come into their yard, or just passing by. After all, you moved into their home, they didn’t move into yours.
All these people are destroying molino,we like our private little town don’t need company,we move out here years ago to get out of town.its bad enough out here already.
People here love simping for free market capitalism and deregulation until the corporation decides to le sais faire the property they bought from your neighbors in a way you don’t like.
Can anyone explain to me why telling a company that they can’t underpay their workers, or can’t pollute the environment, or can’t bribe politicians is “SOCIALISM”, but telling a company that they can’t build houses in a county that already has a massive shortage of affordable housing isn’t?
US 29 and SR 97 are about to become the new US 98’s.
Stop light after stop light after stop light.
And in between, 35 and 45 mph speed limits from Molino to I-10.
4-12 acre lots….wow…I’d like to have one. This kind of development sounds like it will actually add value to the community. This is definitely no DR Horton cookie cutter development. Nothing like what they tried to cram in here a few weeks ago.
At least it is acreage lots. Many will not be able to afford the acreage size.
IT is a shame that these Devlopment’s do not have to set up NRDs. Septic tanks are going to saturate your land if all these developments go through.
Remember that Trees, soybeans, peanuts, corn and other crops give off precious Oxygen.
Do not allow clear cut, consult an arborist and selective cut.
It just amazes me the comments some of you people make! Growth is coming, whether you like it or not, it’s reality. Our landfill in Beulah will be full in five years and Molino is where they are looking to put the new dump. Would you rather have houses or a landfill?? Think about that! If all of you want it farm land you should have bought the land and you could have kept it that way, but you didn’t. Be thankful for houses every four acres, it could have been subdivisions on smaller lots. Some of you need a hobby, instead of constantly complaining about land that you don’t own. Bring on progress!!
Folks complaining about a development with lot sizes from FOUR TO TWELVE ACRES. This is not some Lennar/Horton development with homes crammed up on each other in alternating floorplans.
I’d give a lesser digit to be able to afford a home on a 4 acre lot.
So it’s ok for YOU to live there but nobody else. Talk about greedy…
There are plenty of places inside the city of Pensacola to develope for housing.
Don’t think the city or county ever considers Urban Renewal projects.
These lots look big enough to maintain a sense of privacy, but hopefully there will be requirements to leave a portion of them wooded. It’s a shame when they clear cut everything and there’s nothing left but lawn.
i think everyone else here is just jealous they don’t have what other people that have worked harder than them have
One home on 12 acres! OMG it’s like cookie cutter crowded! C’mon people. This is country living and the way development should be! Sure better than that one planned on 196
Wasn’t this voted on as a zoning proposal about 5 years ago and the people in molino said no. Now it shows up again as a pre-planning, what happened to the rezoning did that pass did that magically disappear maybe I’m thinking of a different project.
Here we go again. Why can’t greedy people leave our rural area alone?
Let people develop their own places to live on land already available.. Quit destroying country living and destroying wildlife habitat. Please. Or if it is relentless greed on the part of developers, let them quit it. How much money is enough?!!!? Same goes for people selling large parcels of land to these big developers.
This land plat is obviously mostly wetlands. The proposed heavy development should be rejected.
Lawn Mowing companies will love this subdivision!
This one is the same one that was turn down a few years ago. Once again trying to build up at a dangerous intersection blind hills and blind curves. Hope ems and fire department have staffing to be riding a lot of accidents at this entrance. They sold 5 or so 8 acre lots the first go around. Hopefully the planning board does their research again to deny this one also.
This is how “They” are going to get in….. a little piece at a time. Just like on Molino Rd. Next to the fire station. Same thing is going to happen as if it were the Big development. Why doesn’t the community fight against these smaller developments?
Oh great more farm land being used up.years to come where is food gona come from China? Its always about that almighty dollar.cant keep country like we used to.molino used to be now moving further north.more traffic more traffic.commissers are to blame to.they don’t have to approve it.97 is a 5 flag speed way now.
