This private 2.38-acre homesite offers panoramic views of tidal Clapboard Creek, providing direct navigable access to the St. Johns River and the Atlantic Ocean. The property is cleared and ready for construction, featuring several mature trees and a private dock equipped with a boat lift—perfect for fishing or launching jet skis. With no HOA restrictions, this lot is ideal for a luxury waterfront estate or a coastal cottage retreat. Please note that private utilities, including a well and septic system, will be required.
Pumpkin Hill, located between the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve and the Nassau River, is a rural and coastal Jacksonville neighborhood with marshy backwaters and pine flatwoods. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Pumpkin Hill Road corridor near the entrance to the Preserve, where trailheads, boat ramps, and wide-open skies set the pace. Homes tend toward low-slung ranches and newer builds on larger lots, with porches and driveways built for boats and gear. The landscape reads as creeks, tidal marsh, and sandy lanes rather than sidewalks. Daily rhythms follow fishing tides, paddling routes, and long rides under live oaks. It’s a place where nature infrastructure—ramps, trails, and preserves—functions as the main street.
