Named for the historic Spanish settlement, this community brings the past into the present perfectly. From the stunning Palencia Golf Club to the architecture with roots from early St. Augustine influence, this area is a natural beauty.

The sprawling 2350-acre master planned community is anchored by the pristine Florida Intercoastal, marshland, and Tolomato River (an Audubon Sanctuary), and is rich with the natural beauty of North Florida.

And, this attention to the environment is awe-inspiring. More than 32 acres of parks, trails, and open spaces give a rich variety of centuries-old trees, waterways, and lush views.

Families have a plethora of activities from which to choose, including community amenities, the Village Center, a thriving Town Center, and a myriad of choices for shopping and dining.

And, the gorgeous beaches of St. Augustine are just minutes away. The youngest residents attend the best of St. Johns County Public schools, and historic Flagler College is one of the best private colleges in the Southeast.

And then, of course, there are the homes. Built for energy efficiency, each home is mastercrafted, with stunning designs and hundreds of choices.

From townhomes to 7-bedroom estates, there is a home for every size family. Residents can choose from water view or golf view homes, however, there really is no spoiled view in this remarkable enclave.
