Flint Rock Agrihood - The Orchard market snapshot (as of June 20, 2026): the median sale price is about $280K, a buyer-leaning market (limited data). Based on 2 recent closings in live Stellar MLS data.
Flint Rock is marketed as Gainesville's first agrihood, a farm-centered community on the west side of Parker Road (SW 122nd Street) just south of Oakmont, in unincorporated Alachua County near the City of Archer with a 32618 ZIP. The Orchard is one of three gated subdivisions inside Flint Rock, alongside The Garden and The Parke. Per the developer, the community spans 96 homesites with lots from roughly 0.99 acre to 1.69 acres, and nearly all back to a conservation area, greenway, or nature trail.
The Orchard is the horseshoe-shaped section where, per the developer, all lots back to green space, common area, or a trail, with a minimum of 3,000 heated and cooled square feet required. It takes its name from roughly 2,000 pecan and fruit trees planted across Flint Rock. The expansive green space inside The Orchard is large, and a retention area to the southwest is reported near 17 acres. The section sits near the Residents' Farmhouse, so the farm-to-table and gathering amenities are close at hand.
This is a custom-home community rather than a production builder tract. Lots are sold and homes are built by area custom builders, so build quality, finish, and the specific homesite vary and are where value is won or lost. Per the developer, all lots are served by private well and septic, with Clay Electric for power, GRU for natural gas, and AT&T fiber for internet, a different utility picture than a typical city-water subdivision that a buyer should weigh.
The agrihood amenities are the differentiator: over 250 acres of common area and greenway including roughly 151 acres of conservation preserve, about two and a half miles of walking paths, a residents' farmhouse with a catering kitchen, an event barn, an entry barn that serves as a mailbox and gardening hub, community gardens, and fruit-tree orchards. The buy hinges on whether the agrihood lifestyle, the acre-plus lot, and the green-space backdrop are worth a custom build in a still-maturing community to you.
