Old Cypress Farms is the only Raydient acreage community in Bradford County, and it is also the most affordable entry point of the regional set at a published starting price of $125,000 against $170,000 at Otter Run and $176,000 at Cedar Hill. Nine of fourteen lots are Sold with five Available, so it is roughly two-thirds absorbed.
The acreage range is unusually wide and that is the thing to understand before you shop it. Lot 10 is 1.19 acres. Lot 14 is 37.65 acres. Between them sit tracts at roughly 10 acres, plus a 20.15-acre lot 12 and a 28.46-acre lot 13. These are genuinely different products at genuinely different price points inside one gated entrance, so the community average tells you very little about any specific tract.
The five available lots are 5 (10.31 acres), 8 (10.13), 11 (10.11), 12 (20.15) and 14 (37.65). That means the sub-2-acre lot 10 and the 28-acre lot 13 are both gone, and the remaining choice is effectively a 10-acre tier, a 20-acre tract and one large 37-acre tract. Gainesville at 24 miles is the closest metro of scale, which distinguishes this from the Baker County communities that orient toward Macclenny and Jacksonville.

The Old Cypress Farms buying strategy.
If we were buying in Old Cypress Farms today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Old Cypress Farms.
One gate, fourteen very different tracts
The developer's published Community Amenities and Benefits list covers accurate survey with boundary corners marked, clear title, electricity available, gated entrance with fence, paved road frontage, protective community covenants and proximity to city. Frontage for every lot is SW County Road 225 and the stated utility position is that well and septic are needed.
Protective community covenants exist but no dues amount is published. That is the single most important open item for a buyer here, particularly given the acreage spread: covenants written for a 37-acre tract and covenants written for a 1.19-acre tract have very different practical effects on what you can build, keep and store. Get the recorded declaration and read it against the specific lot you want.
On location, Raydient publishes 6 miles to Hampton, 7 miles to Starke, 8 miles to the Sampson and Rowell Lake boat ramp, 12 miles to Waldo and 24 miles to Gainesville. The boat ramp figure is the one most likely to matter day to day, and it connects this tract to the same Sampson and Crosby Lake water recreation that anchors much of the established Starke market.
Against the surrounding Bradford County resale stock, Old Cypress Farms is a different transaction entirely. Starke's established subdivisions trade as finished houses on conventional lots. Here you are buying surveyed, titled, gated land and building on it, which lengthens the timeline and shifts the cost structure toward construction.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Old Cypress Farms. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
The five remaining tracts at Old Cypress Farms are not interchangeable, and choosing between a 10-acre lot, a 20-acre lot and a 37-acre lot is a question about build cost, septic siting and what the covenants allow rather than about price per acre. We pull the recorded declaration and plat, walk the drainage and building envelope with you, and cost the full path to occupancy rather than just the land.
