The Hammock at Twenty Mile
in Nocatee

Only Nine Homes

The scale of The Hammock is one of the first things we would point out to a buyer. All of the homes are located along Oak Creek Drive, creating a very different experience from larger Twenty Mile neighborhoods such as The Crossing or The Outlook.

There is also a practical consideration: resale inventory can be extremely limited. A buyer who specifically wants The Hammock may have to wait for the right property to become available.

Custom Built Does Not Mean They All Look Alike

Every home in The Hammock was built by Glenn Layton Homes, but looking through the neighborhood, the individuality is obvious.

Some homes are wider and more horizontal, others have more pronounced two-story sections, and garage configurations, roof forms, porches, driveways and architectural details vary considerably. This community is a collection of custom coastal homes rather than a traditional production neighborhood.

For buyers, that means we would never compare two Hammock homes based on square footage alone. Layout, design, homesite, outdoor living and improvements can make two similarly sized properties live very differently.

The Homesites Are Part of the Story

The Hammock was planned as a small collection of private homesites surrounded by the wooded Twenty Mile landscape. That relationship with the preserve is still one of the things that gives the neighborhood its character.

Looking at the completed neighborhood, there is also noticeable variation in setbacks, home orientation, yard depth, landscaping and private pools.

When we're touring here with a buyer, we would pay as much attention to what surrounds the house as we would to the house itself.

Large Homes, Without a Large Neighborhood

The completed homes range from approximately 4,019 to 4,850 square feet, so The Hammock offers considerably more interior space than many Nocatee neighborhoods.

What makes it unusual is getting that size within a community of only nine homes.

That combination can make The Hammock worth comparing for someone who wants a larger home but doesn't necessarily want the scale, traffic or number of homes found in a larger neighborhood.

One Builder, Nine Very Different Properties

Having one builder gives The Hammock a certain visual continuity, but it does not make the homes interchangeable.

The completed homes range from broad, predominantly one-story designs to more pronounced two-story elevations, with noticeable differences in garage arrangements, rooflines and front elevations. That variation matters even more in resale because each homeowner may also have added pools, landscaping, outdoor living and interior improvements over time.

The best comparable for a Hammock home may therefore be based on how the property actually lives, not simply which house happens to be next door.

Part of Twenty Mile's Old Florida Setting

The Hammock was introduced as part of the larger Twenty Mile area, where mature trees, preserved land, split-rail fencing and Old Florida-inspired design were intentionally incorporated into the neighborhood character.

Residents also have access to Nocatee's larger parks, trails and resident amenities.
