Palm Coast Plantation

Once a wildlife preserve, the 4,000-acre gated community on the Intracoastal Waterway contains an elegant combination of classic Floridian architecture and tropical greenery. As you pass through the entrance gates, the spring-fed 128-acre Emerald Lake stocked with fish and with dramatic fountains spraying into the air, parallels the road where you may see wildlife sunbathing and soaking up the sunshine in one of the best retirement cities in Florida. Walking trails wind through the waterfront community under trees cascading with Spanish Moss leading to nature lookouts and great fishing spots. Whistling birds draw your eye up into the trees hoping for you to catch a glimpse of their performances.

While considering Palm Coast homes, keep in mind that Palm Coast Plantation has beautiful, luxury waterfront homes that overlook the Intracoastal Waterway and line South Riverwalk Drive. Buyers searching to avoid expensive resort amenities and golf clubs will find Palm Coast Plantation is in a great location, right on the Intracoastal Waterway.
