Vision Statement

“To be a premier gated golf, beach and tennis

community in northeast Florida, offering a secure, friendly,

enjoyable, family lifestyle.”

The Plantation at Ponte Vedra Beach is an equity membership community. Every owner automatically becomes a Member when they purchase a home or lot in the community. Ownership is an all inclusive membership. The HOA owns “The Club”. The Plantation is the only community of its kind in Northeast Florida.

The Plantation encompasses 650 acres of land with 133 acres of golf course and 4 acres of oceanfront. In addition, 6 acres were recently utilized to develop Plantation Commons, a brand new amenity park. Furthermore, in 2015, 7 acres were utilized to create Hollyhock Lane, where 24 new homes will reside, some of which have been completed. There are a maximum of 579 parcels. Currently, just over 540 homes are occupied. The remaining are member owned, preferred builder or successor developer lots. Prospective buyers can choose from a new or resale home, or they can choose to build a new home on an available lot. Estate and low maintenance Garden Homes (lawn & shrub care included in monthly fees) range in various square footage and floor plans. Prices range from $350K to $2.5M. The Plantation is about lifestyle. We have a strong social fabric made up of a well balanced combination of retirees and families. Members are active, involved and friendly. The Plantation is a secure gated community with a golf course which recently underwent a $7+ million dollar renovation under the guidance of Greg Letche. Other amenities include The Plantation House event and dining facility, Fitness Center, Tennis Facility, Croquet Lawn and amenity park, and The Beach House, an oceanfront beach club.
