Jon's Current Read

"Tillman Acres is an acreage play, so the read is a lot-and-utilities read more than a home read: the one-acre minimum gives room and privacy, but the well, septic, and access details are where the real cost and the inspection work live. Your leverage is confirming the homesite and utilities and reading the comps on the specific property, not a town average."

Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026

The 60-Second Overview

Tillman Acres market snapshot (as of June 18, 2026): the median sale price is about $210K ($108 per sq ft), with homes averaging 37 days on market and 12.0 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market (limited data). Based on 1 recent closings in live Stellar MLS data.

Tillman Acres is an acreage subdivision in High Springs, in the 32643 ZIP, with the entrance reported on US 27/41 near NW 160th Avenue, just south of the downtown antique district. Neighborhood sources describe a one-acre minimum lot, a mix of established homes and new construction, and a quiet, wide-open setting.

This is acreage living, so the specific lot, the home or build, and the utilities set value far more than any community average. There is a low annual HOA reported at roughly $200 a year, and no CDD is expected, though both should be confirmed for a specific property.

Many acreage homes in the area use well and septic, which is a maintenance and inspection item to budget for; confirm the utilities, well, and septic details before you offer.

The setting keeps the Santa Fe River, Ginnie Springs, and downtown High Springs close, with Gainesville and the University of Florida a longer reach to the southeast.

Best for

  • Buyers who want an acreage homesite with room and privacy
  • Households drawn to the Santa Fe River and Ginnie Springs lifestyle
  • Buyers who value a low annual HOA and a quiet High Springs setting
  • Anyone weighing a build on a one-acre lot or a newer home

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want an in-town, walkable location
  • Those who need a short commute to the University of Florida
  • Buyers unwilling to confirm utilities, well, and septic per parcel
  • Anyone seeking dense amenities or a gated master plan

Tight supply and strong demand favor sellers here. Homes still take about two months to sell, though, and with asking prices running above recent sales per square foot, a prepared buyer has room on anything overpriced. Reading each home against the real comps, not the headline trend, is where the edge is.

    The Homes & Lots

    Tillman Acres is acreage homesites with a reported one-acre minimum, with neighborhood sources describing a mix of established homes and new construction. Because lots and homes vary widely, condition, the specific homesite, and the utilities drive value, and a build on a vacant lot is a different math than a turnkey resale.

    Three honest price bands. Condition and lot, not the square footage alone, decide where a home lands.

    The New Build

    A newer home on the acreage lots, which tends to command the strongest pricing.

    15-Second Take
    • Renovation math decides the deal
    • Better lots and views resell strongest
    • Roof and HVAC age drive the insurance quote
    • Interior lots are where buyers overpay
    Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
    Operator Note

    Most buyers overpay on interior lots in the back half of the community. A sharp renovation can distract you, but the weaker resale position follows the lot, not the finishes. We read the homesite before the kitchen.

    Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
    Operator Note

    The strongest value pocket is usually a renovated home on a good lot priced just under the next tier up. Buyers chasing the single biggest house often pay top prices for what is really a renovation project.

    5 Mistakes Buyers Make in Tillman Acres

    15-Second Take
    • Calling the listing agent (who works for the seller)
    • Misjudging the renovation budget
    • Overpaying for an interior lot
    • Underbudgeting the carrying costs
    • Skipping the roof, HVAC, and systems check

    The same five mistakes cost buyers the most in any market. Every one is avoidable with the right preparation before you tour.

    On acreage, the lot and the utilities are the price. The deal is won on confirming the well, septic, and access, and the comps on the specific property.

    Why our read on Tillman Acres is different.

    Most pages on this community are an automated estimate wrapped in stock copy. This one is built from the live Stellar MLS feed, fourteen years of closed sales, and a renovation-by-renovation read of what actually moves value here, lot by lot. No Zestimate, no guesswork.

    Which Lots & Views Hold Value Best

    Where the value actually sits. Each home is shaded by its price per square foot (a value read, not just a price) and ringed by lot type, so you can see at a glance which pockets carry a real, durable premium and where a renovation play makes sense.

    Value ($/sqft)
    $261 value$401 premium
    Lake / waterPreserveInterior

    Fill = price per square foot; ring = lot type, inferred from listing descriptions. Sold homes are shown by realized $/sqft (lot type not always recorded). Asking and recent-sold figures from Stellar MLS; for orientation, not an appraisal.

    15-Second Take
    • One-acre-minimum lots give room and privacy
    • The specific homesite and access drive value
    • Confirm well, septic, and utilities per lot
    • Vacant lots are a build, not a turnkey, math
    • Read the lot and utilities before the finishes

    On acreage, the homesite is the durable asset: lot size, frontage, access, and the well, septic, and utility setup cannot be changed easily and define the property. One-acre-minimum lots give Tillman Acres room and privacy, but a vacant lot is a build math and a resale home carries its own condition and utility picture. Read the lot and utilities first, then price the home against the closest acreage comps.

    HOA, CDD & Fees

    15-Second Take
    • Low annual HOA reported ~$200/year
    • No CDD expected, confirm per parcel
    • One-acre-minimum acreage lots
    • Confirm well, septic, and access per home
    • Minutes to the Santa Fe River and downtown

    The HOA is reported at roughly $200 a year, a low annual figure typical of an acreage subdivision. Confirm the current amount and exactly what it covers for a specific home, since published figures move.

    No CDD is expected here, but confirm per parcel. On acreage, also confirm the water and sewer service: many homes in the area use well and septic, which is a maintenance and inspection item to budget for.

    Confirm utilities before you fall for the land. On an acreage property, the well, septic, and access details are part of the true cost. We help you verify them before you write an offer.
    The takeaway

    Selling here is won on condition and view, not the Zestimate. The right number comes from closed comps matched to your renovation level and lot.

    Sold-to-list and days-on-market figures reflect Momentum Realty listings versus our market average, year to date. Your home's result depends on pricing, condition, lot, view, and preparation.

    In Tillman Acres, condition and view decide your number

    Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping High Springs, a home priced to the community average instead of its true condition and view either leaves money on the table or sits. A renovated kitchen, newer roof and HVAC, and a golf or lake view all deserve to show up in your price, and a buyer pool reading renovation math needs to be shown why your home is worth it. We build that case with real comps and a pricing strategy for the current market.
