The Plantation Homes for Sale
The Plantation at Ponte Vedra opened in 1985 as an Arnold Palmer residential design, and it remains one of the few communities in the area where club membership isn't optional — it's built into buying a home here. The 650-acre property is arranged around a championship 18-hole course that Palmer routed across 150 acres of lakes, canals, and old oak stands, and the club itself has taken BoardRoom magazine's Distinguished Club Award three years running, the only residential private equity community in Northeast Florida to hold that title.

Homes For Sale in The Plantation
The Plantation Community Info
Because equity membership is bundled into every purchase, pricing in The Plantation reflects the full package: golf access, the private beach house, and a mandatory initiation fee due at closing. Homes directly on the course or overlooking the lakes and canals tend to draw the most interest, and buyers here are typically comparing The Plantation against Sawgrass and Marsh Landing on membership structure as much as on the homes themselves.
Life in The Plantation
Membership includes the 18-hole championship course with seven sets of tees and year-round bentgrass greens, tennis, pickleball, a croquet field, a fitness center, and a renovated clubhouse. The standout amenity is the private beach house, about a ten-minute bike ride from the front gate, with a full-service restaurant and bar, a Junior Olympic pool, a playground, grills, and direct ocean views. Equity membership is mandatory with home purchase — the initiation fee is due at closing, with a portion refundable when the home later sells — which is a different structure than the optional memberships at some neighboring clubs. Beyond the club itself, The Plantation also runs member social clubs covering everything from bird watching to botany.
The Plantation Schools
The Plantation is zoned for Ocean Palms Elementary School, Alice B. Landrum Middle School, and Ponte Vedra High School, all part of the St. Johns County School District, consistently one of the highest-rated districts in Florida. Always confirm current zoning for a specific address before writing an offer.
