What to Know About Artisan Lakes at Nocatee
A Smaller 55+ Community Within Nocatee
Artisan Lakes includes just 196 homes, giving it a much more intimate feel than Nocatee’s larger active-adult communities.
It is a true age-restricted 55+ community, and the HOA verifies age and occupancy as part of maintaining that status.
For buyers who like the idea of 55+ living but do not necessarily want a much larger active-adult community, Artisan Lakes offers a smaller, more contained setting while still providing access to the rest of Nocatee.
Gated With Its Own Private Amenity Center
Artisan Lakes is gated and has its own private amenity center designed specifically for residents of the neighborhood.
Inside, residents have a fitness center, multi-purpose and social spaces and a demonstration kitchen. Outside, the amenities include a zero-entry infinity pool, separate spa, cabanas, pickleball, bocce, putting green and outdoor gathering areas.
That private amenity package is a major part of the Artisan Lakes lifestyle.
An Active Social Side, If You Want It
The amenity center is also the hub for an active calendar of resident clubs, games, fitness activities and social events.
Participation is completely optional, but buyers who want more than simply a pool and fitness room have built-in opportunities to meet neighbors, stay active and get involved.
HOA-Provided Lawn and Landscape Maintenance
One of the practical advantages of Artisan Lakes is that the HOA handles much of the routine grounds maintenance around the homes.
That includes services such as mowing, edging, blowing, fertilization, lawn treatment and trimming of trees, shrubs and landscaped areas.
Homeowners are still responsible for the home itself, irrigation and irrigation-system repairs, replacement of dead landscaping and certain areas such as landscaping within enclosed patios. We would describe Artisan Lakes as lower-maintenance rather than maintenance-free.
Water, Preserve and Park Settings Matter
The setting behind the home is one of the things we pay close attention to in Artisan Lakes.
Many properties overlook ponds, preserve areas or landscaped open space, so two homes with the same floor plan can feel very different depending on where they sit within the neighborhood.
For buyers who value privacy, views or outdoor living, the homesite can be just as important as the floor plan.
Private 55+ Amenities Plus the Rest of Nocatee
Living in Artisan Lakes does not mean choosing between the private 55+ community and the rest of Nocatee.
Residents have access to Artisan Lakes’ private amenities as well as Nocatee’s broader resident amenities, including community parks, pools, trails and recreation facilities throughout Nocatee.
That combination gives residents a smaller active-adult community at home while still having access to the larger Nocatee lifestyle.

Explore Homes for Sale in Artisan Lakes at Nocatee
Artisan Lakes is an established 55+ resale community, so available inventory can be limited.
When a home does come on the market, we recommend comparing more than square footage and the most recent sale. Floor plan, water or preserve orientation, outdoor living, upgrades, condition, garage configuration and any additional upstairs space can all materially affect how buyers compare one Artisan Lakes home with another.
Because the neighborhood is relatively small, the most useful comparison may sometimes come from another Artisan Lakes floor plan rather than simply the home that sold closest by.

Thinking About Selling in Artisan Lakes?
Pricing an Artisan Lakes Home Starts With More Than the Floor Plan
With only 196 homes, Artisan Lakes may not always have a recent sale that perfectly matches your property.
Floor plan and square footage matter, but so do water or preserve orientation, outdoor living, upgrades, condition, garage configuration and whether the home includes additional second-floor space.
The 55+ market also matters. A buyer considering Artisan Lakes may be comparing the home not only with another Artisan Lakes property, but also with Del Webb Ponte Vedra, Del Webb Nocatee or other active-adult options in the area.
That is why we evaluate an Artisan Lakes home based on the individual property and the alternatives an active-adult buyer is likely to consider.

What Our Clients Say
They were kind, professional, and extremely thorough in every way. Our home sold in just 3 days, and we would recommend them to family and friends in a heartbeat.
We have worked with Driftwood Realty twice in the last 6 years to sell our homes in Nocatee (Ponte Vedra, Florida). Kristin and Quinton’s local market knowledge, professional approach, attention to detail, and property marketing expertise are unmatched in the St. Johns area. It was their generous and compassionate spirit that drew us to them over seven years ago, before we ever considered selling our home. We met Kristin and Quinton when they were helping a young family pack and load for an unexpected move. It became evident very quickly that this family was more than their client, and that Kristin and Quinton truly care about their relationship with the people they represent. They are on top of every step throughout the process, and keep their clients informed about next steps, realistically managing expectations for all parties. They have negotiated on our behalf through two very different real estate markets, most recently in the midst of an unexpected sharp decline in home prices. We highly recommend Driftwood Realty to home buyers or sellers looking for hardworking, transparent and expert realtors to guide them through the process in a trusting relationship that for us has become a lifelong friendship.
