Listing description
About this home
Perfectly positioned on a private preserve lot, this stunning custom-built pool home is a rare find in Palencia. Surrounded by towering oaks and tropical palms, the nearly half-acre lot offers exceptional privacy on a quiet street of just sixteen homes. Built by Cottage Home Company as a model home, this thoughtfully designed floor plan offers an open-concept layout with four bedrooms, a study, a bonus room, and over 3,800 square feet of living space.
Designed for year-round indoor/outdoor living, a pocketing sliding glass wall opens to a covered lanai. The backyard is a private oasis featuring a heated saltwater pool and spa with water and fire features. A detached cabana includes a full outdoor summer kitchen with a wraparound bar, a fireplace, ambient lighting, surround sound and an automated sunshade.
Fully fenced and lushly landscaped, the backyard is a true sanctuary complete with a barrel sauna & landscape lighting Inside, a stunning barrel foyer with intricate floor-to-ceiling paneling leads into the family room anchored by a gas fireplace & built-in bookcases. The chef's kitchen features stacked cabinetry with slow-close drawer banks, roll-out shelving, marble countertops and a 9-foot island breakfast bar. Top-of-the-line Thermador appliances - including a six-burner gas cooktop and built-in refrigerator - make this space as functional as it is beautiful.
Elevated finishes are found throughout, including cased windows, 8-foot doors, crown molding, wainscoting, tongue-and-groove ceilings, automated window shades, plantation shutters and custom closets. A hidden stairwell leads to a double bonus room with a full bath, walk-in closet, and covered balcony overlooking the private backyard. A hallway with a built-in drop zone leads to a split 3-car garage complete with an EV charging plug, epoxy flooring, and overhead storage.
Exterior upgrades include a well for irrigation, a mosquito misting system, a whole-house generator, phantom screens, automated screens, security cameras, a paver driveway, and travertine pool decking - to name a few. The exterior of the home is freshly painted, and a new roof is scheduled to be installed before closing. Located inside the gates of Palencia, residents enjoy access to world-class amenities: an A-rated elementary school, a championship Arthur Hills-designed golf course, a fitness center, three community pools, lighted clay tennis courts, pickleball, sports fields, fitness trails, pocket parks, and a boardwalk leading to the Intracoastal.
This is the home you've been waiting for.

This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
$1,017,537the mess$1,074,702
Actual list price: $1,550,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 6% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen or new roof vs. dated finishes can swing value six figures; sq ft can't see it.
The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
35 active listings competing, 18 under contract
105 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $1,550,000 ($407/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Nothing Putt Fun & Games mini-golf venue wins rezoning near Palencia
St. Johns County commissioners unanimously approved rezoning for Nothing Putt Fun & Games, a roughly 54,000-square-foot entertainment complex planned on US-1 N about a mile south of Palencia. Plans call for a 16,000-square-foot building with an indoor course, restaurant, arcade, food trucks and an outdoor course. The developer hoped to break ground by the end of 2026 with an estimated eight-month build.
Why it matters: A new recreation and dining venue this close to the community could add nearby leisure options that area listings may reference, though timing depends on the developer closing on the land and starting construction.
Jersey Mike's Subs opens at Shoppes at Palencia Commons
Jersey Mike's Subs held a grand opening Dec. 4 at 120 Palencia Village Drive in the Publix-anchored Shoppes at Palencia Commons. It is the chain's fourth St. Augustine location. The Palencia Commons center fronts US-1 N and serves as the community's main retail node.
Why it matters: Additional dining at the community's anchor center may broaden the everyday-convenience mix that buyers weigh when comparing nearby neighborhoods.
The Palencia Club sold to Heritage Golf Group for $19.5 million
Jacksonville-based Hampton Golf sold The Palencia Club on Oct. 28 to Heritage Golf Group of Herndon, Virginia, for $19.5 million as part of a three-course, $45.5 million transaction. The private club features an 18-hole Arthur Hills course and a 33,000-square-foot clubhouse. Heritage said early capital-improvement plans for the clubs are in discussion.
Why it matters: A new operator signaling reinvestment could affect the on-site golf and clubhouse amenities that figure into how the community is positioned, though specific upgrades had not been announced.
Nothing Putt Fun & Games entertainment complex proposed on US-1 near Palencia
Plans surfaced for Nothing Putt Fun & Games, a 36-hole miniature golf and entertainment complex proposed at 7250 and 7280 US-1 N, roughly a mile south of Palencia. The concept paired indoor and outdoor courses with a restaurant and arcade. The project later advanced to rezoning approval in early 2026.
Why it matters: Early-stage commercial proposals along the US-1 corridor near the community indicate continued interest in nearby retail and leisure development that could shape the area's amenity base over time.

Answered before you ask
Frequently asked questions
Why might my property taxes differ from the current owner's?
Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment can be re-set after a sale. As a result a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Where does the flood-zone information come from?
The flood designation shown (Zone X) comes from the FEMA flood map and is provided for general information. Confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
