What Should You Know About the Nassau County Land Market?

East versus west

The county’s Future Land Use Element background describes the Yulee area, roughly the eastern part of the county between the Amelia River and I-95, as the place with the most recent development. It describes the East Nassau Community Planning Area as the part of the county best suited for urban-scale development. West of I-95, the towns of Callahan and Hilliard are each surrounded by Rural Transitioning Areas that generally reach about 5 miles from their town limits, and beyond that the land is mostly agriculture and timber.

Wildlight and the East Nassau Stewardship District

Wildlight is a 24,000-acre master-planned community in Yulee developed by Raydient Places + Properties, a Rayonier subsidiary. Wildlight Elementary opened in August 2017. The East Nassau Stewardship District funds most of the community’s infrastructure through assessments on residents and commercial tenants. If you own land near Wildlight, the development pattern around you is changing.

Utilities

The county plan places its Urban Development Area inside the JEA water and sewer service area, and each of the municipalities runs its own water and wastewater system. JEA’s wellfield protection zone is a 750-foot setback around each public supply well. Outside those service areas, buyers plan for a private well and septic.

Wetlands, rivers and conservation

Plan background data estimates wetlands at about 24.7 percent of the county and public conservation land at about 3.7 percent. The St. Johns River Water Management District manages the Thomas Creek Conservation Area here, and Egans Creek drains to the Fort Clinch Aquatic Preserve. The St. Marys River forms the county’s northern edge with Georgia.

What Affects Land Value in Nassau County?

• Location relative to I-95 and Yulee. Eastern land near growth areas draws different buyers than western timberland.
• Water and sewer. Land inside the JEA service area or a city system versus well and septic.
• Wetland share. About a quarter of the county is wetland, so usable upland matters.
• Flood zone. Coastal and riverfront parcels face flood insurance and elevation costs.
• Land use category. Agriculture, Rural Transitioning and East Nassau categories carry very different potential.
• Timber. Standing pine can add value to acreage.
• Title and taxes. Tax certificates and heir issues add time.
