The Settlement at Twenty Mile
in Nocatee

A Small Gated Twenty Mile Neighborhood

With just 99 homes, The Settlement has a more contained feel than many of the larger Twenty Mile neighborhoods. The gated entrance and simple street layout add to that sense of separation, while the surrounding trees and preserved land keep it connected to the character of Twenty Mile.

For buyers who want a gated community but don't necessarily want one of Nocatee's larger neighborhoods, The Settlement is one we would compare closely.

Two Builders, With Noticeable Variety

Homes in The Settlement were built by Toll Brothers and ICI Homes. That gives the neighborhood more variety than a single-builder community, with differences in floor plans, elevations, garage configurations and interior layouts from one home to another.

For buyers, that means two homes with similar square footage may still live very differently. Builder, floor plan, updates and homesite all matter when comparing properties here.

The Lake Is a Defining Part of the Neighborhood

The large central lake is one of the first things you notice when looking at The Settlement's layout. Many homes are positioned around the water, while others back to preserved woodland or different interior settings.

Those differences can have a meaningful impact on privacy, views and outdoor living, so we would never evaluate a Settlement home based on square footage alone.

One- and Two-Story Homes Give Buyers Options

The Settlement includes both one- and two-story homes, which adds another layer of choice within a relatively small neighborhood. Some buyers specifically want a primary suite and most living space on one level, while others prefer the separation and additional upstairs space of a two-story plan.

That variety is useful because buyers can compare different ways of living without necessarily leaving the neighborhood.

Homesite and Outdoor Living Matter Here

Depending on the property, buyers may find water views, wooded preserve, deeper yards, screened lanais, private pools or more developed outdoor living areas. Some homes feel much more private than others simply because of where they sit within the neighborhood.

When we're looking at The Settlement with a buyer, we pay close attention to the backyard setting and orientation of the home, not just the interior.

Part of Twenty Mile's Established Character

The Settlement sits within the broader Twenty Mile area, where mature trees, preserved land and Old Florida-inspired landscaping give this part of Nocatee its distinctive feel. The neighborhood is fully built, so buyers are comparing established resale homes rather than living through ongoing builder construction.
