The number of happy homeowners continues to grow in Madeira at St. Augustine, where elacora offers exceptional quality homes and flexible floor plans to suit every type of buyer. The inviting community, located close to St. Augustine’s historic district and just minutes from the area’s pristine beaches, has become one of the most popular addresses for new homes in St. Johns County.

“Our homebuyers have discovered that elacora in Madeira at St. Augustine is one of the most rewarding buying experiences they have ever had,” said Victoria Robbins, exclusive agent for elacora Northeast Florida. “Our customers are initially drawn to Madeira’s convenient and naturally beautiful setting and are pleasantly surprised to learn many of their new home’s energy efficient features are standard, not upgrades. For example, solar-ready tile roofs, tankless natural gas hot water heaters and high R-value insulation, in both the walls and attic, are included. Our buyers also appreciate elacora’s superior customer service and the lifestyle and amenities available at Madeira.”

The Barton Family

Madeira is a natural gas community, which initially attracted Tom and Jeanne Barton to the community. The Bartons prefer natural gas for cooking, for use with the on demand hot water heaters and because of its energy conservation benefits.

“Once we entered the community, we were very impressed with the level of quality in the elacora homes,” Tom Barton said. “We love the tile roofs, the upgraded finishes, the attention to detail and the many energy conserving features including the gas stove for cooking.”

The Bartons were seeking a vibrant community offering an energetic lifestyle and they found it at Madeira. “We love our new home and community,” added Barton. “Residents here are reaching out to others to form clubs and other social offerings. The pool and fitness center are outstanding as well. In addition, we are so close to downtown St. Augustine, allowing us the opportunity to take advantage of all the historic community has to offer.”

Bill and Lyn Sappington with Caroline

When Realtors Lyn and Bill Sappington were looking to purchase a home of their own, they selected a new elacora home in Madeira with a stunning water view.

“The community offers ‘location, location, location,’” said Lyn Sappington. “The driving force to purchase our home was the beautiful view of the lake. Our house is very well built and we love the open design.”

Many home sites at Madeira back up to conservation areas with spectacular water or nature preserve views. The Sappingtons were drawn to the community’s unspoiled, natural beauty and its numerous amenities.

“We enjoy working out at the fitness center and biking and walking through the neighborhood, which is very scenic with majestic trees and lots of birds,” Lyn Sappington added. “The neighbors are very friendly and our corgi dog loves walking and greeting everyone. The best part about our new home is sharing it with others.”
