What's in this guide
Overview
Agricola is a large planned community taking shape in Green Cove Springs. Fort Lauderdale-based BTI Partners purchased about 3,200 acres in Clay County for roughly $93 million in August 2025 from the Agricola family, and the 3,145-acre site sits west of US-17, south of Green Cove Springs and north of Leno Road.
The plan calls for roughly 4,000 residences, a mix of about 2,170 single-family homes, 370 townhomes, and 1,460 multifamily units, designed as a new-urban town with a country feel. About half the property is set aside as open space, with planned schools, trails, community gardens, plazas, and squares. Clay County approved the rezoning in April 2026, and the project is now in permitting, so it is years from delivering homes.

The Plan
Agricola is planned as a new-urban community, a walkable town with a country feel, rather than a conventional subdivision. The housing mix spans single-family homes, townhomes, and multifamily, with schools, trails, community gardens, and gathering squares woven through about 1,500 acres of preserved open space.
Because it is at the permitting stage, builders, home collections, lot sizes, amenities, and a CDD or HOA structure have not been set. We track the Clay County filings and will post details as they are confirmed.
Location & Access
Agricola sits west of US-17 in Green Cove Springs, in fast-growing Clay County, near the First Coast Expressway corridor that has driven much of the area growth. The location offers Clay County value with reach to Fleming Island, Orange Park, and the wider Jacksonville job base.
| Destination | Approximate proximity |
|---|---|
| Downtown Green Cove Springs | A short drive north |
| First Coast Expressway | Nearby |
| Fleming Island | About 20 to 25 minutes |
Drive times are approximate and will firm up as entrances and road access are finalized.

Why Buy Early at a New Community
In a new community, the first release is often the best time to buy.
Best lot selection
Preserve, water, and premium homesites are limited and go first. Early buyers get the pick of the plan.
Early-phase pricing
Builders frequently raise base prices as a community proves out, so the earliest buyers can see appreciation by the time later phases open.
Stronger incentives
To build momentum, builders often put their best incentives, on rate, closing costs, or design credits, on the table early.
Representation matters most up front
The on-site representative works for the builder. Having your own agent from the first visit protects your ability to negotiate and to compare fairly, usually at no cost to the buyer in new construction.
Comparable Communities
| Community | How it compares |
|---|---|
| Hyland Trail | A GreenPointe master plan already selling in Green Cove Springs, for buyers who do not want to wait years for Agricola. |
| Granary Park | A Lennar master plan in the Lake Asbury area, a benchmark for the Green Cove Springs value market. |
Momentum Expert Insight
Agricola is one of the largest long-term land plays in Clay County, on the Green Cove Springs growth corridor that has been one of the busiest in the region. With rezoning approved and permitting underway, it is real, but it is a multi-year build-out, not a near-term move.
My advice is to get on the early list now so we can tell you who is building, where, and at what price as soon as the first phase is announced, and represent only you, not the builder, from the first release.
Agricola is still in development, so the best way to be ready is to be on the list before it opens. Tell us what you are looking for and we will send verified pricing and homesite releases as they happen. No obligation, no spam.
