The Island at Twenty Mile
in Nocatee
Ponte Vedra, Florida | Twenty Mile Area
The Island at Twenty Mile is a small gated neighborhood within Nocatee's Twenty Mile area in Ponte Vedra, Florida. With just 45 homes, it offers larger single-family homesites surrounded by the wooded, natural setting that gives Twenty Mile much of its character.
Homes were built by David Weekley Homes, ICI Homes and Standard Pacific Homes, creating a mix of floor plans and architectural styles rather than a single-builder look. Water and preserve settings are an important part of the neighborhood, and individual homes can vary considerably in lot configuration, backyard privacy and outdoor living space.
For buyers, The Island offers a combination that's fairly specific: a small gated neighborhood, larger homesites, established homes and landscaping, and easy access to the parks, trails and resident amenities found throughout Nocatee.

What to Know About The Island at Twenty Mile
A Small Gated Neighborhood
With only 45 homes, The Island has a more intimate feel than many of Nocatee's larger neighborhoods. Its gated entrance and limited number of streets create a more contained residential setting within the broader Twenty Mile area.
For buyers who like the natural character of Twenty Mile but prefer a smaller neighborhood, The Island is one of the communities worth comparing.
Larger Homesites and More Space Between Homes
One of the things buyers notice in The Island is the homesite size. Compared with many of Nocatee's more compact neighborhoods, homes here generally have more room around them, and the neighborhood was laid out with homes along water or preserved natural areas.
That gives The Island a different feel from neighborhoods where homes are positioned closer together or where backyard views vary more from street to street. Depending on the property, buyers may find water views, wooded preserve behind the home, deeper yards, pools and more substantial outdoor living spaces.
The Island isn't the only place in Nocatee to find this type of setting. There are other neighborhoods throughout Nocatee that offer larger homesites, preserve views and more separation between homes. What distinguishes The Island is the combination of those features with a small, gated neighborhood in the Twenty Mile area.
Three Builders Add Variety
Homes in The Island were built by David Weekley Homes, ICI Homes and Standard Pacific Homes, so the neighborhood doesn't have the repetition you sometimes see in a single-builder community.
Floor plans, elevations, garage configurations, architectural details and upgrades can vary from one property to another. For buyers, that means square footage alone doesn't tell you whether two Island homes are truly comparable. The builder, floor plan, homesite and improvements all matter.
Part of Twenty Mile's Old Florida Character
The Island was one of the earlier neighborhoods developed within Twenty Mile, an area of Nocatee known for its mature oak canopy, preserved land and Old Florida-inspired character.
That natural setting is still a major part of what makes the neighborhood feel different from more compact areas of Nocatee.

Thinking About Selling in The Island at Twenty Mile?
Pricing a Home in The Island Starts With the Homesite
With only 45 homes and a mix of builders, pricing in The Island requires more than simply finding the most recent neighborhood sale.
When evaluating a home here, we consider the builder and floor plan, size, condition, updates and outdoor living space, but the homesite deserves particular attention. Water versus preserve orientation, backyard depth, privacy, landscaping, pool and outdoor improvements, and the home's position within the neighborhood can all influence how buyers compare one property with another.
The small number of homes also means there may not always be a recent sale that closely matches your property. In those situations, we look at the most relevant sales within The Island along with appropriate alternatives elsewhere in Twenty Mile and Nocatee.
That's why we don't believe a broad Nocatee price-per-square-foot calculation or automated home value tells the whole story. We look at the property itself and how today's buyers are most likely to compare it in the current market.

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.
