Middlebourne Homes for Sale in St. Johns, FL

Middlebourne pairs a gated, custom-home setting with the prime 32259 location and the top-rated St. Johns County schools. Homes have priced from around $494,900 into the $900,000s depending on plan, homesite, and customization. Confirm current pricing directly with ICI.

The pitch is a custom home in the 32259 corridor with a low HOA and no reported CDD, which is a real cost difference from the big master plans nearby that carry CDD assessments. That keeps the recurring monthly lower than communities like SilverLeaf or RiverTown at a similar price, while the custom-build flexibility and the location near Durbin and the Town Center carry the value. The trade is a higher entry price than the value communities and the budgeting realities of a custom build. ICI runs incentives in the current market, so it pays to ask, and to have representation managing the customization and the contract.

For context, Momentum tracks the wider Jacksonville metro at a 97.98 percent sold-to-list ratio and 64 days on market for our agents, against a RealMLS market average closer to 96.73 percent and 72 days, year to date. In a custom builder community like Middlebourne, the base price, the customization choices, and the homesite matter more than resale comps, which is where an agent who knows ICI and the 32259 corridor pays off.

Middlebourne is built by ICI Homes, so the decision centers on the floor plan, the homesite, and the level of customization, since these are custom homes rather than fixed production models.

ICI offers 12 floor plans at Middlebourne on 50- and 60-foot homesites, roughly 1,872 to 3,234 square feet, in three and four bedrooms with two to four baths and two-car garages, in one- and two-story designs. Options across the plans include extended lanais, a bedroom in place of a study, tray ceilings, French doors to a study, and bonus rooms, which lets buyers tailor the layout to how they live.

What sets ICI apart is its in-house customization. Rather than a fixed menu, ICI's process lets buyers move walls, adjust layouts, and reimagine spaces with the builder's architects, which is closer to a semi-custom or custom build than a typical production home. That flexibility is the draw for buyers who want a home shaped to their needs, and it is also why representation and a clear budget matter, since customization choices add up.

Middlebourne homes have priced from around $494,900 into the $900,000s for larger custom homes, which the listing data has shown to be roughly 10 percent below the area average of the 32259 corridor. The spread reflects the custom nature, the base price moves with the plan, the homesite, and the customization. Confirm current pricing and available homesites directly with ICI, and use representation to weigh the options.

Middlebourne's amenities are right-sized for an intimate gated community, with the prime location doing much of the lifestyle work.

Middlebourne offers about two and a half acres of community amenities, including a community pool, a designed clubhouse, and gathering spaces. The community is also built for golf-cart living, with golf-cart paths that let residents move easily to the pool, the clubhouse, and around the neighborhood. It is a practical, social amenity package rather than a large resort campus, in keeping with the community's gated, custom character.

The bigger lifestyle amenity is the location. Durbin Park, with its shopping, dining, and entertainment, and the St. Johns Town Center are both a short drive away, giving residents some of the best retail and restaurant access in Northeast Florida close to home. For day-to-day life and weekend outings, few St. Johns communities sit this close to both.

Beyond the community, the 32259 corridor offers the parks, trails, and established lifestyle that make St. Johns County one of the most desirable places to live in the region, with the beaches and historic St. Augustine within a reasonable drive. The combination of a gated custom home and that broader lifestyle is the heart of Middlebourne's appeal.

Middlebourne's shopping and dining are anchored by Durbin Park, a major retail and entertainment center just minutes away with grocery, big-box stores, restaurants, and a movie theater, and by the nearby Julington Creek and County Road 210 retail corridors. For day-to-day needs and weekend outings, the access is among the best in St. Johns County.

The St. Johns Town Center, the region's largest shopping and dining destination, is about 15 to 20 minutes north, adding hundreds of stores and restaurants. Between Durbin Park close to home and the Town Center a short drive away, Middlebourne residents have some of the deepest retail access in Northeast Florida.

A few things that consistently come up once buyers get serious about a gated custom community like Middlebourne.

An HOA around $505 a year with no reported CDD is unusual in the 32259 corridor, where many communities carry CDD assessments of a few thousand dollars a year. That difference can offset a chunk of the higher entry price over time, so factor it into the all-in monthly when you compare Middlebourne with the big master plans. Confirm the current fees and any applicable CDD for your specific homesite.

ICI's move-walls customization is a strength, but it is also where budgets stretch. Each change and upgrade adds to the price, so decide what matters most before you start, and lean on representation to keep the customization aligned with your budget and the home's eventual resale value.

Middlebourne is a 426-homesite community, and with the David Weekley section sold out, the remaining ICI homesites are finite. If a specific homesite, lot width, or floor plan matters to you, move with intent, because the best lots in a community this size go quickly.

ICI's sales team works for ICI. Many builders will not let you add representation after you register on your own, so bring your agent in before your first model visit. Your agent's compensation is negotiable and set in a written buyer agreement, often covered in whole or part by the builder. On a custom build, that representation is especially valuable.

Price the all-in monthly first. Middlebourne carries both an HOA and a CDD assessment on the St. Johns County tax bill, so add both to the mortgage and pull the CDD balance and term for the parcel.

Compare new construction to resale carefully, weighing builder incentives, lot premiums, and timelines against a move-in-ready resale in a delivered phase.

Confirm the lot for preserve, pond, or interior position, and what is built or planned around it as the community grows.

Confirm school assignment by address, since St. Johns zoning shifts as new schools open, and verify the CR 2209 and I-95 commute.

Middlebourne competes with the other newer master plans of northwest St. Johns near the CR 2209 corridor. Against Aberdeen and Durbin Crossing, it offers brand-new construction and a wooded preserve setting, while those established communities counter with mature trees and delivered amenities.

Against the larger Nocatee and SilverLeaf plans, Middlebourne trades a deep, sprawling amenity package for a smaller, newer, preserve-oriented community in the top-rated district. The honest shorthand: pick Middlebourne for new construction in the district; pick a larger plan for the deepest amenities.

Middlebourne fits buyers who want new construction with a resort amenity center and top-rated St. Johns schools in a wooded preserve setting, anyone who values quick access to the CR 2209 corridor, Durbin Park, and I-95, and buyers comfortable trading a CDD for a newer home.

Middlebourne is a weaker fit buyers who want no CDD and the lowest carrying cost, those who prefer mature, established streets, or anyone seeking golf or a large town center.
