Photographer/Partner Dear Neighbor, When we moved to St. Johns nine years ago a new home could be purchased for about $200k (sometimes less). Fast forward to 2021 and the prices are quite a bit higher and the competition is tougher. New Construction communities now offer luxury amenities like access to the St. Johns River or an 18-hole golf space, while homes come with individualized upgrades that are geared toward life in north Florida with outdoor kitchens and living rooms, gourmet kitchens, elaborate masters suits and more. Combine this with all the new businesses that have come to our little region like the Durbin Pavillion Town Center, and recent plazas being built along the CR210 Corridor and you have an even more amazing place to live, work and play! (Although we have always known this!) Please enjoy the September issue, Our Go-To Guide to New Construction Communities, featuring SHEARWATER, a perfect place to live to get the most out of life in Northern St. Johns Shearwater has upped the stakes when it comes to amenities with incredible indoor and outdoor spaces, featuring the Kayak Club, giant pools, a fitness center, nature trails, events and more. In this issue learn about their latest addition, an adventure park and outpost where residents can truly connect with nature.

The Outpost: Shearwater’s New Outdoor Adventure Park SHEARWATER UNVEILS NEW AMENITY!

Neighborhood Adventure Park to bring residents even closer to the outdoors!

hearwater, the new master-planned residential community on County Road 210, officially opened its newest amenity, the The Outpost: Shearwater’s new adventure park. The new waterfront amenity will provide residents with easy access to a variety of recreational activities

along Trout Creek, which connects to the St. Johns River.

“At Shearwater, we’re committed to connecting our residents to nature and promoting healthy living through world-class amenities and unique lifestyle programming,” said Suzanne Maddalon, Vice President, Marketing, Freehold Communities.

“We are thrilled to open the Adventure Park and Outpost, which takes advantage of Florida’s natural beauty while providing exciting opportunities for our residents to spend time outdoors with their families and neighbors.” Close to the Adventure Park is the new Outpost. The Outpost is the perfect outdoor oasis for families and neighbors to get together. Featuring a screened in pavillion for gatherings, with a wraparound porch, openair gathering space and a 30’ stone fireplace. Adjacent to the Outpost is a large playground area with Kompan® Swings, an embankment slide and double zip line. And Expected to open later this year, is the Kayak Launch. The Outpost is the perfect outdoor oasis for families and neighbors to get together after a fun day on the water.

The new Adventure Park and Outpost is the latest example of Shearwater’s mission to provide residents with a vibrant neighborhood focused on healthy living, community engagement and a connection to the outdoors. The Adventure Park joins Shearwater’s robust system of amenities including 15 miles of nature trails that run throughout the community, the Kayak Club amenity center, oversized fitness lodge, The Perch Waterslide Tower, Lazy Bird River, illuminated Har-Tru tennis courts and KOMPAN free-range playgrounds. Shearwater is located at 206 Shearwater Parkway, St. Augustine, FL 32092. To learn more about Shearwater, visit www.shearwaterliving.com.

5 Great Ways to Customize Your New Construction Home by Florida Design Works of Jacksonville

New construction continues to boom across Florida and especially in the Jacksonville area. The biggest question we get at Design Works is “how can you help to make my standard home feel custom”? New construction is a wonderful option to provide a never-lived-in-before home, but sometimes the design options are limiting. After you move in – keep the excitement going by adding “after-market” options to your beautiful new home. Wondering how? Oh, let us count the ways!

Make a Splash

Backsplash that is! Most new construction homes will come with a standard option for kitchen and bathroom backsplashes -dare we say, “subway tile”. While certainly a standard backsplash can be effective, it can be somewhat plain. Using a mosaic, stone or glass tile can punch up a space and add a truly custom feel.

Bigger is Better

There is a new trend to take your “countertop” look up onto the walls – using large porcelain slabs or quartz to adorn the backsplash. This creates a seamless look and big statement piece.

Let’s do Wine

While we may not live in Napa, we can store our wine like we do!

Creating a custom wine rack, wine cellar or wine cabinet is a popular way to customize a new home. You might also consider removing some cabinetry and replacing it with a wine fridge or other bar-related storage.

Organize It

If 2020 taught us anything it’s that home, office and closet organization is a must. Working and schooling from home could be a common thing for years to come so why not have a space that accommodates you. Create built-ins for your master bedroom, add a hide-away desk and storage in a guest bedroom, or organize your closet to include stackable drawers that free up floor space in the bedrooms for desks, chairs, or other furniture. Maximizing space is key.

Get Outside

Enjoying the Florida weather year-round is a must. Customizing your lanai with a summer kitchen, adding a custom tile, or adorning an accent wall with stone makes your outdoor space feel like an extension of the inside. For examples of these projects and others that can create a custom look in your new construction home, visit

FloridaDesignWorks.com, or visit sites like Pinterest to find your inspiration. Then, visit the Design Works showroom to view a variety of products. The design staff looks forward to turning your beautiful home and into an extraordinary masterpiece.

New Gated Community

Marsh Point

By Alexis McDaniel Menton & Ballou Group mentonandballougroup. evrealestate.com

Offers Old Florida Feel St. Johns County is booming with new developments, but there’s something unique about Marsh Point that brings you back to old Florida. Marsh Point is a new, gated community that sold out quickly when the 27 lots were first offered by Sunbelt Holdings in 2020. With plenty of developments in the county with small lots and cookiecutter designs, the allure here is the estate-size wooded properties, ranging from 1-2.4 acres. Some of them have glorious marsh views. Today, there are two resale lots available. I represent the sellers at lot 6, 137 Canopy Hall Lane, and it is a 1.171-acre property with mature oak trees, palms and magnolias. The lot is available for $305,000 and you can bring your own builder, or you can

use a local builder, who put together a package with house plans and pricing for this site. The home packages range from the low $800,000s to just over $1 million. The custom community will have a Home Owner’s Association, with fees listed as $99 per month in the documents. The minimum size house you can construct is 2,500 square feet. Homes require a septic system. City water is available. Architectural Review Board approval is required as well, to make sure the new homes are within the standards of the neighborhood. Marsh Point gets its name from the natural island-like property that is tucked in the northern part of St. Augustine off of Gun Club Road. Turning from US Highway 1 near the airport, follow Gun Club Road until you see

a cleared entrance on the left. Construction crews are busy installing the road, which winds through the majestic trees covered in moss. You can see the entrance taking shape. There will be a grand fountain. There will be gates that will allow residents and their guests into this exclusive neighborhood. Sidewalks will be lit with lanterns, and at the end of the cul-de-sac, a kayak launch will allow residents access to the marsh out to the intracoastal waterway. Getting to the old city is an easy drive from this area. Marsh Point will surely be an enclave of unique homes that will stand out when the community is completed.

He trades their furnishings expertise for workspace to begin Albert Hugo and Associates. His clients grow to include other internationally known families such as Alfred and Jessie DuPont. The Hugo family continues to meet the duPont’s furnishings and fabric needs inside their remarkable 58-acre mansion, Epping Forest, now Epping Forest Yacht & Country Club.

Golf & Country Club Dining

In Northern St. Johns

by Lori Allen @MyWanderingFork

o let’s get rid of the notion that golf courses fare only consists of cold sandwiches and lukewarm beer. We’ve moved on to a new era of upscale golf course dining. Whether its lunch, dinner or Friday night specials you are looking for, the golf clubs have certainly upped their game. Some notable chefs have been hired and they have created some fun and exciting new menus along with nice wine lists and craft cocktails which can be enjoyed while admiring the view of the course. I ventured out to a few around here and here’s what I found.

AJs Kitchen and Cocktails at the World Golf Village- King and Bear 1 King and Bear Drive St. Augustine, FL 32092 904.615.1868

So this restaurant has been revamped and has a nice cool clean vibe with its steel grey accents and a neat fire pit with the view of their pristine course. The menu is comfort food with a twist along with weekend chef creations prepared from fresh local products. To start we tried the Pretzel Charcuterie Board. This is made to share and is served on pretzel bread loaded down with cured meats and cheeses. The best way to eat this is to rip a piece of the pretzel bread, layer it with spicy salami or pancetta, then some extra sharp Cheddar cheese or nutty gruyere and top it off with their stone ground mustard. Each bite can be your own creation. Paired with their happy hour Pinot Noir, all your taste buds are satisfied. We then decided on a nice light salad. I had the strawberry and goat cheese one that had succulent blackened shrimp, fennel and a touch of local honey which made it spicy and sweet all in one. The Heart of Romaine Salad with shaved parmesan and a tangy lemon Caesar dressing was equally as good. Their menu is so interesting and diverse I can’t wait to go back and try their Honey Sriracha Glaze,

Toasted Sesame wings, or possibly their South Burger with pork belly and pimento cheese. Or even their Black Pepper Beef Carpaccio with capers on tarragon toast. The choices are endless and the view is so very lovely.

Gouge prepares Friday night specials you will want to try out! And as an added bonus they have a fun Trivia night on Thursdays where you can go have dinner and enjoy the game!

The Bridge at St. Johns Golf and Country Club.

The Grill at the Golf Club at South Hampton

205 St Johns Golf Dr St. Augustine, FL 32092 904-940-3200

315 South Hampton Club Way St. Augustine, FL 32092 US

At the Grill at South Hampton you will find some surprising items on the menu. I tried the Ahi Tuna Stack to start. The tuna was fresh with a wasabi slaw, a brown sugar soy glaze and stacked on a crispy wonton. The glaze added just the right amount of salty sweet and with the crunch of the wonton it was the perfect bite. I could have eaten a dozen of these! The garlic wings were equally as good. But don’t let the presentation fool you, it was not fancy but they were cooked to perfection, crispy garlicy, buttery goodness. The homemade Greek hummus was a nice treat as well. It was a plentiful bowl of freshly made hummus topped with fresh red onions, tomatoes, crumbled feta and Kalamata olives. I loved the homemade chips, crunchy, chewy and salty all in one. I saw on their menu they also have a Muffuletta sandwich, a Cuban sandwich and a Pulled Pork sandwich served on a pretzel bun that all sounded really good. Chef Gary

After the dust has cleared from the new renovations at St. Johns Golf & Country Club a new restaurant and chef have emerged. The Bridge with its new menu inspired by local flavors and ingredients offers a fun dining experience! I loved their craft cocktails. They had several choices which all sounded so good. I tried the Bridges lemonade – it has a splash of grapefruit soda which made it light and refreshing. We also tried the Aimies’ CBC lemonade. Made with Two TitMice Vodka, Lemonade, Strawberry and Basil Puree ($2 from each purchase goes to help Aimie Crush Breast Cancer) - a really nice combination and for a good cause as well. For Apps we went with the Blue Cheese Chips, homemade kettle chips smothered in goodness. Tangy blue cheese dressing, tomatoes, scallions, bacon and blue cheese crumbles. Each bite came with a punch and coolness to get your palate going. Steamed shrimp sounded like it would be good and it was. They were plump and juicy drenched in buttery old bay

seasoning. Yum! Several salads were on the menu and I kept eyeballing the golden beet salad with apples, candied pecans and feta but we were in the blue cheese mode so went with the wedge. Chilled crisp iceberg lettuce, fresh cucumbers, tomatoes and Danish blue cheese, it did not disappoint. I went back and forth for my main and ended up with the Menorcan pasta. The bowl came out steaming with large gulf white shrimp, juicy little neck clams and linguini all tossed in datil pepper vodka sauce then topped off with crispy fried calamari. Each bite you got a taste of the sea then the creaminess of the vodka sauce with just the right amount of heat. It was delicious! The "& GRITS” caught my eye which are made with Tasso Sausage, Tomato Ragout and Stone ground Pepper Jack Cheese and choice of fish, chicken or shrimp. I also hear that the Caribbean Grilled Chicken is to die for. The chef smokes the chicken first then tops it with avocado served over a bed of black

beans and rice. Garlic parmesan chicken tenders brined in pickle, battered and fried sounds like an upscale chick-a-fil meal and who wouldn’t want to try that? The chef is a pastry master so you must try one of his homemade desserts made daily. The amazing view, live music (Thursdays) and a great staff (Maren treated us right!) along with delicious food makes for a great evening. So go and enjoy!

A Message From The Vet by Dr. Deckard, DVM, Pets R Family

SNAKE BITES & PETS It’s almost inevitable that in this area you will see a snake on or near your property at some point. In Florida, has hundreds of harmless snake species. However, there are species that are venomous, and 6 that are important to be aware of. Pit Vipers are the most common family of venomous snakes here in our area, with venom that causes profound tissue destruction and clotting issues. Depending on the size of the snake, these vipers can deliver a very large amount of venom in one bite. Pit vipers of this area are: Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes, Pigmy Rattlesnakes, Cottonmouths (Water Moccasins), Timber Rattlesnakes (Canebrake) and Copperheads. There is also another poisonous snake that is not a Pit Viper – the Eastern Coral snake, which is an elapid- a relative of cobras. Their venom is neurotoxic – meaning it attacks the nervous system. It’s highly recommended that you have an emergency plan in place in case of a snake bite to your pet. Ask if your vet carries the snake bite antidote antivenom. It’s a very expensive treatment made specifically for the pit viper species, but due to the upfront cost, some vets elect not keep it in stock; however most veterinary emergency hospitals will have it. Speak to your Veterinarian and allow them to help you formulate a plan for you and your pets in the event of a snake bite incident. When a bit occurs, you may not be able to easily recognize the signs until the venom begins to react, but there are a few telltale signs to know if it has occurred. Pit vipers bites are usually very painful. Dogs tend to get bitten in the nose or the face,

and most bites to cats are on their front legs and feet. That’s not to say they can’t be found anywhere else! Where they were bitten will be very painful and begin to show marked swelling almost immediately. You may or may not notice two fang punctures on the skin, but if the pet was bitten, there will likely be an area that is bleeding or oozing. Pets will often become anxious due to the pain that is associated with the bite. Once you suspect a snake bite, there is no treatment you can do at home; you must get to the vet immediately to give your pet the best chance at survival. Upon arrival at the Vet Office, your pet will be closely examined, bloodwork will be run, and most likely intravenous fluids will be started as a supportive measure. If it’s determined that your pet has been envenomated, antivenom must be given to neutralize the venom and stop the tissue destruction. Depending on the severity of the bite, overnight hospitalization may be required, and in some circumstances, additional doses of antivenom may need to be administered. Treatment can be very expensive, but pets who present to their vet and have treatment with antivenom started within two hours of a pit viper bite have about a 90% survival rate, according to the University of Florida.

the best thing to do is to bring your pet to the University of Florida’s veterinary hospital if you suspect a coral snake bite. About 60-70% of pets will survive with treatment. For all snake bites, getting your pet treated as soon as possible is paramount. There are some great resources for learning how to identify snakes, including books, websites, forums, and Facebook groups. Encounters with any venomous snake are few and far between, but it’s important to educate yourself and your family about our common snakes – both venomous and non-venomous – so that everyone is aware of the specifics to identify a snake, and what to do in the event of a bite to your pet.

If your pet is bitten by a coral snake, it presents much differently and can be a challenge to diagnose. Pets develop neurological symptoms that can progress into paralysis and inability to breathe on their own. There is little to do other than supportive care. Antivenom for coral snakes is not readily available in large quantities unlike that of the pit vipers, so www.stjohnsmag.com
