Boutique Scale. Historical Pedigree.
A 355-home enclave inspired by the 19th-century Andrew Anderson House, defined by strict architectural governance and a retreat from the hyper-density of Northern St. Johns.

Original Markland House built
The Greek Revival Mandate.
Markland is not merely a namesake; it is a calculated homage to the original 1839 Andrew Anderson House in downtown St. Augustine. Developed on former Wolfe family lands, the community channels the Gilded Age prestige into a modern "Manor House" format.
By capping development at 355 units, Markland entirely avoids the logistical and social congestion associated with the county's 10,000+ unit "mega-developments." This scarcity creates a predictable, static impact on local schools like Mill Creek Academy, shielding residents from the radical rezoning turbulence faced by fast-expanding neighbors.
“Residents are not just purchasing a home; they are buying into a private governance model focused on architectural purity and the long-term defense of property value.”
Markland vs. The Behemoths
Compare the boutique phases of Markland against the massive footprint of competing SR-210 master plans.
Phase 1 (58' - 93' Lots)
The foundational homes offering easy access to the Manor House. Features standard 58-foot lots up to premium 93-foot estates.
Phase 2 (63' - 93' Lots)
Later phase builds maintaining strict architectural covenants, offering slightly varying lot dimensions with consistent high-end finishes.
Palencia (Comp)
Nearby comparison offering higher density and a massive footprint, presenting a stark contrast to Markland’s 355-home boutique scale.
SilverLeaf (Comp)
The defining hyper-development of the CR 210 corridor. Vast amenities but subject to heavy construction traffic and continuous school rezoning.

CDD / POA Cost Allocation
The "Bond Sunset" Phenomenon
A critical insight for long-term buyers: The 2015 and 2016 bond series possess 30-year maturations. By ~2045/2046, the "Debt Service" portion of the assessment will evaporate from the tax roll. This horizon contributes to underlying asset value, as future owners will command a structurally lower carrying cost once the infrastructure debt retires.
Due Diligence Timeline
Critical factors for onboarding into the Markland community.
Days Out: CDD Debt Assessment
Understand the Southaven CDD matrix. Debt service is fixed (~$1.8K to $2.1K), while O&M ($2.8K+) fluctuates based on public budget hearings.
Days Out: School Rezoning Check
Currently zoned for Mill Creek Academy and Tocoi Creek High. Monitor the St. Johns County School Board for impacts of new K-8 schools (QQ and RR) drawing students from nearby SilverLeaf.
- Verify SJCSD "Geocode" boundaries
- Check High School Academy application windows
Days Out: Architectural Review Board
Markland protects its "Greek Revival" aesthetic fiercely. Review the POA guidelines before planning pools, fences, or exterior paint changes.
Days Out: Commute & Highway Links
Test the commute via International Golf Parkway to I-95. Monitor the progress of the CR 210 widening and the proposed SR 16 expansion.
