Searching for a new home in the Jacksonville area, but not just any new home? How about a one-of-a-kind home in a one-of-a-kind neighborhood?

You’ll find both at Seven Pines, a unique master-planned community on Jacksonville’s southeast side. It checks all the convenience and location boxes for almost any new-home buyer,  and its development comes with a history all its own.

Seven Pines is named for seven brothers in the local Skinner family, which has longtime roots in the Jacksonville area. It sits on acreage once owned by the Skinners and used by family members for holiday celebrations and recreation.

Now, the same northeast Florida site is welcoming new families hoping — in the words of Seven Pines’ tagline — to create their own “Legacy of Gathering.” Two newer opportunities to do that are 60-foot and 70-foot homesites on Seven Pines’ lakefront. These spacious lots are designated for rear-load floor plans to feature the watery views and coastal, forested surroundings.

About Seven Pines

It’s not all about location, but a superb one sure helps! Seven Pines has it — just southeast of the Butler Boulevard-Interstate 295 interchange, where new road work is transforming the community’s entry off the intersection of Kernan and Butler Boulevards.

Thanks to the I-95 beltway, Seven Pines residents are only a few moments from Atlantic beaches, Jacksonville’s best shopping and dining at St. Johns Town Center, and the city’s numerous arts, cultural, and sports activities.

There’s also plenty of room among 1,000 acres that someday will contain 1,600 single-family homes, apartments, and more than one million square feet for retail and commercial use.

The amenities match the exquisite siting — a 34-acre Central Park, a lakeside Club Legacy with a fitness center, event and social spaces, resort-style swimming pools, a spray park, and a playground. Club Legacy’s lakeside outpost also will stock personal watercraft.

Seven Pines is a collaboration between top homebuilders David Weekley Homes and ICI Homes. Expect contemporary homes with a timeless look-feel, up-to-the-minute construction techniques and materials, plus a choice of front-load or rear-load homesites.

Speaking of…

Those new lots and homes

Does a 60-foot or 70-foot lakefront homesite sound tantalizing? How about a rear-load floor plan that frames Seven Pines’ woodsy and watery vistas? If you’re puzzling over the term “rear load,” it means garages and driveways at the rear of a floor plan. They’re reached through a small street that leads past the back of your and your neighbors’ homes.

These new larger lots also mean larger homes. Think four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a three-vehicle garage, and one or two-level floor plans. The additional space and rear-load privacy also mean the opportunity to maximize outdoor living. Think summer kitchen, fire pits, spas and lounge-y screened porches.

Don’t forget the incentives

Builder incentives make owning a new Seven Pines home an even better deal. Check with your sales associate to see what’s on the current offer.
