About this home
Welcome to a truly exceptional country estate where modern farmhouse charm, wide-open spaces, and peaceful living come together in one of the most desirable locations in St. Johns County. Nestled on 3.86 fully fenced acres in the heart of the ever-popular World Golf Village area, this beautifully updated property offers the rare opportunity to enjoy the tranquility of country living without sacrificing convenience. Just minutes from shopping, dining, championship golf, major roadways, and everyday conveniences, while located within the highly acclaimed St. Johns County School District, this remarkable property offers the perfect balance of peaceful rural living and modern accessibility. As you travel down the newly completed driveway, the pace of everyday life begins to slow. Towering trees, sprawling green lawns, and beautifully maintained grounds create a warm first impression, while the timeless farmhouse-style residence sits gracefully within the landscape. Every detail reflects the care and pride of ownership that has gone into creating a home designed for comfortable daily living, unforgettable gatherings, and generations of memories. One of the property's most exciting features is its future potential. Under current St. Johns County regulations, the acreage may allow for a one-time property division, presenting a rare opportunity for a future family compound or multigenerational estate. Imagine creating additional living space for family members while maintaining the privacy, beauty, and peaceful atmosphere that makes this property so special. Inside, the home captures everything buyers love about modern farmhouse design. Rich wood flooring, fresh interior paint, updated lighting, and an inviting open floor plan create spaces that feel bright, welcoming, and effortlessly functional. Natural light fills every room, highlighting the home's thoughtful updates while preserving its timeless character. At the heart of the home, the beautifully updated kitchen blends style and practicality. Crisp white cabinetry, open shelving, classic subway tile backsplash, generous counter space, updated countertops, and a stunning butcher block island create a warm gathering place where family and friends naturally come together. Whether preparing holiday meals, hosting celebrations, or enjoying quiet evenings at home, this kitchen was designed for making memories. The thoughtfully designed split floor plan offers both privacy and flexibility. One wing features a spacious guest bedroom situated beside a beautifully renovated skylit bathroom, creating an inviting retreat for family or visitors. The opposite wing serves as a peaceful owner's sanctuary, complete with multiple closets and a beautifully renovated bathroom filled with natural light. A generously sized laundry room with abundant cabinetry and storage keeps everyday life organized. French doors open onto the front terrace, providing another peaceful setting to relax and enjoy the surrounding landscape. Step outside and discover the lifestyle that only acreage can provide. The expansive covered rear porch serves as an extension of the home's living space, creating the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, family celebrations, or simply unwinding while overlooking the picturesque grounds. Beyond the backyard, neighboring horses grazing peacefully along the rear property line enhance the property's serene country setting. Designed for those who love spending time outdoors, this estate offers countless opportunities to embrace the Florida lifestyle. The charming playhouse, which also serves beautifully as a she shed, provides endless possibilities as a children's retreat, hobby room, gardening studio, or quiet escape. An additional storage building can easily accommodate workshop space, equipment storage, or future creative projects. For those dreaming of a true homestead lifestyle, the property also includes a charming chicken coop, allowing you to enjoy fresh eggs and embrace the simple pleasures of country living. The expansive acreage provides ample room for gardens, orchards, additional outbuildings, recreational vehicles, or even horses and other permitted animals under Open Rural zoning. After gardening, caring for animals, or spending the afternoon working outdoors, the convenient outdoor shower provides the perfect place to rinse off before heading inside. Every feature has been thoughtfully designed to support an active outdoor lifestyle while maintaining the home's inviting farmhouse character. Outdoor entertaining is effortless thanks to the oversized carport featuring a dedicated grilling preparation area complete with a sink, allowing family barbecues and gatherings to flow seamlessly. Two dedicated RV sites with full electric, water, and sewer hookups offer exceptional accommodations for recreational vehicles or visiting guests, making weekend getaways and extended family visits incredibly convenient. The fully fenced property provides both security and peace of mind while creating an ideal environment for children and pets to safely enjoy the outdoors. Wide-open green space offers endless possibilities for backyard games, family gatherings, gardening, future additions, or simply enjoying the beauty and privacy that nearly four acres provide. Adding even greater value are the extensive improvements completed by the current owners. The home features a durable metal roof, hurricane shutters, and a transferable security system for peace of mind. Recent upgrades include beautifully renovated bathrooms, new wood flooring, fresh interior paint, recessed lighting, updated kitchen and laundry countertops, a new HVAC system, new well pump, a newly completed driveway, decorative fencing with impressive stone columns, flagstone front and rear porches, professional landscaping, a welcoming fire pit gathering area, and a septic system replaced in 2023. These thoughtful improvements allow the next owner to simply move in and begin enjoying everything this extraordinary property has to offer. Open Rural zoning provides remarkable flexibility rarely found this close to everyday conveniences. Whether your vision includes gardening, raising chickens, keeping animals, creating additional workshop space, parking recreational vehicles, or simply enjoying the privacy and freedom that acreage provides, this property offers the opportunity to create the lifestyle you've always imagined. Beyond the property itself, the location is equally exceptional. Situated in the highly desirable World Golf Village area, you'll enjoy quick access to shopping, restaurants, golf courses, parks, healthcare, Interstate 95, historic downtown St. Augustine, Jacksonville, and the beautiful Atlantic beaches while still returning home each day to the peaceful serenity of your own private country retreat. This is far more than a beautiful home--it is a place where birthdays are celebrated beneath the stars, children have room to explore, evenings are spent around the fire pit, fresh vegetables are gathered from the garden, mornings begin on the porch listening to birdsong, and family traditions are built for generations to come. It offers privacy without isolation, modern updates without sacrificing character, and room to grow while remaining connected to everything that makes St. Johns County one of Florida's most sought-after places to live. Rarely does a property combine nearly four fully fenced acres, timeless modern farmhouse style, exceptional updates, flexible outdoor living, investment potential, and an unbeatable location so seamlessly. Whether you're dreaming of creating a family compound, embracing a quieter lifestyle, starting your own hobby farm, or simply finding a forever home surrounded by nature, this remarkable estate offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. Welcome home.

SEE VIDEO under ‘Facts & Features’ & Virtual Tour. Located in the heart of fast-growing St Johns County in the ever popular World Golf Village area lies this treasure of a property on Scaff road. With 3.86 acres, (two, 1-acre parcels of which could be subdivided and sold separately per the county) this country estate has everything you’d want in a rustic open farmette without actually having to sacrifice the convenience of the perfect location just minutes from shopping and within the boundaries of the best school district in Florida- St Johns County. The sprawling greens & quaint pond have matured with grace with the dedication of owners who have loved it just so. The spring fed pond is naturally maintained by special carp (licensed through the county) so that largemouth bass, blue gill, turtles and other beautiful creatures like blue herons and white egret call it home. “Happy Pond”, as the owners call it, is clean enough to kayak or take a dip after enjoying the childlike pleasure
of plunging in from a rope swing or lounging in a hammock on its banks to watch. The property includes all the good things: a firepit, treehouse, zip line, playhouse/she shed, outdoor shower, restaurant quality grilling prep area with sink (in carport), above ground pool built into a recess for privacy, 2 spots for an RV with electric/water/sewer hook ups and fenced in chicken pen home to farm fresh egg layers. The house itself feels as if it has centuries old character with a wide-open light filled gathering space, a vaulted ceiling and reclaimed wood flooring from a distillery in Tennessee (@ 150 yrs old) and reflects the intent of the original owner/builder- a cabinet maker and his sons who had an eye for historic flare. The kitchen is equal parts practical and functional with open shelving, a fresh subway tile backsplash, ample counter space and a butcher block island that warms up the white look and adds age old charm. The cozy dining room features a custom rustic light fixture designed specifically for the space. The living quarters include one bedroom with a nearby full, skylit hall bath in one wing of the house. The other side includes a retreat like primary suite with a skylit bath and several closets. Nearby is a large laundry room with enough cabinetry and storage to make you feel like you’ll never have to deal with clutter. An enormous bedroom extends beyond which could easily be divided up further if a new owner so desired. This space has access to the front terrace through French doors. For those who cherish the indoor/outdoor lifestyle, this property does not disappoint. From the kitchen/living space one accesses the large covered back porch with plenty of space for lounging, dining and sipping a morning coffee. There are serene views from every angle of the house including some of the neighboring horses across the back perimeter of the yard. With an extensive carport, plentiful shed space (including one used as an art studio) and the freedom of being zoned Open Rural, the property is like a dream. It’s sturdy as a fortress with a metal roof and hurricane shutters and it’s already equipped and wired to an security system that could be easily transferred. Entering 5150 Scaff is an opportunity to let the stress of the world melt away as soon as your tires hit the driveway. Let this be your enduring legacy- a timeless farmhouse like home that inspires togetherness, encourages peace through privacy, and invites all to fully appreciate and live in harmony with the beauty of nature.
