Discover the amazing natural beauty of North Florida’s Old River Country

March 29, 2010 - PRLog -- There is a unique part of Florida many are not familiar with – Old Florida’s North River Country. This area is like no other part of state — and for anyone loves the outdoors, it’s paradise.

In the heart of this sanctuary for people who love being in nature and appreciate a little extra breathing room surrounded by unmatched beauty is Deep Creek Plantation. The lots are huge, an acre or more, big enough for a horse and stable.  And now it’s more affordable than ever to own a pristine lot in North River Country.

Deep Creek Plantation on the St. Mary’s River is a gated country estate community with large acreage homesites, lush hardwood forests, dramatic rolling hills, wooden bridges and miles of trails.

Deep Creek Plantation boasts one of the Florida's most stunningly beautiful landscapes. Situated along the quiet banks of the St. Mary’s, features thickly forested rolling elevations that vary as much as 40 feet in height, offering a distinctive setting rare to Northeast Florida.

Over half of all of Deep Creek Plantation's land is reserved for conservation, while richly wooded estate homesites have been set aside for outdoor lovers, horse owners and those who simply desire the breathing room that comes with clean country living.

Thickly forested rolling elevations vary as much as 40 feet offering a truly distinctive landscape, uncommon to Northeast Florida communities. Conscious of this exceptional environment, Deep Creek Plantation has modeled itself as a true riverfront preserve, devoting over 50 percent of its 910 total acres to conservation, another rarity among most community development companies.

Offering an exceptional blend of nature, amenities and large acreage estate homesites, lot sizes in Deep Creek Plantation range from 2.3 acres to 15 acres, averaging in excess of 200-feet wide, with prices never lower, now is the time to own you very own piece of North Florida’s secluded North Rover Country.

Residents are able to horseback ride; hike or bike through the community’s planned trail system that will wind through hardwood forests linking the neighborhood and two planned recreational parks.

Three riverfront access areas on the banks of the St. Mary’s River provide canoe and kayak launches and limited parking. All will have horse tie-up facilities and two will feature a weather shelter.
A separate recreational area fronting Deep Creek's own five acre freshwater, stocked lake will include a covered Pavilion with Bar-B-Q and outdoor fireplace, picnic area, fishing dock, horse tie-ups and parking.

Deep Creek Plantation’s natural backdrop of towering oaks, pine, cedar, cypress and magnolia gives a spectacular backdrop to an incredible variety of Florida wildlife including fox, brown rabbit, black bear and deer; and numerous bird species including hawks, herons, turkey and quail.

Its unique topography, with its varied woodland terrain, meandering streams, ravines, wetlands and scenic river basin affords a truly rare and exciting setting in which to live and explore.

Tucked away in a geographically secluded niche of Old Florida, Deep Creek feels far removed, but is actually only minutes from east-west I-10, north-south I-95 and metropolitan Jacksonville. And the popular historic coastal towns of St. Augustine, Fernandina Beach and St. Marys, Ga. are all just short drives away.

Take Interstate 10 to State Road 301, exit north. Turn left on historic US 90 and right on County Road 121 for 11 miles.
