The St. Johns River

The Bluffs on Plummers Cove has three exquisite riverfront homesites for purchase and is offering what is nearly impossible to find – a greatly simplified time and money-savings process to build a new elacora waterfront home in the established and conveniently located Old Mandarin area.

There are extremely limited available homesites available on the St. Johns River in historic Mandarin. At The Bluffs, elacora offers the opportunity for an exceptional waterfront home designed to maximize riverfront vistas and with luxurious appointments, expansive outdoor living areas and a private dock, but without all the hassles of starting from scratch.

“elacora has made every effort to make the process seamless and stress-free at The Bluffs,” said Victoria Robbins, exclusive agent for elacora Northeast Florida. “We have obtained all the necessary permits and our community is deed restricted to protect values.”

Typically, a riverfront-quality custom home takes two to three years to complete due to the multiple, and at times complex, sequence of steps required. Once prospective buyers locate their perfect lot, the process is just beginning. They must hire an architect and engineer to design the home and begin the permitting process, then select a builder and contractor, and obtain bids. Once a final price is determined, the buyer must secure construction financing and begin to make payments on the home site. If costs exceed the loan, the buyer must pay for them out of pocket.

“In contrast, elacora can quote a price today, finance the construction of your new custom riverfront home and you won’t close on it until it is complete,” added Robbins. “This simplifies the process and reduces the risk to the buyer enormously. It is unheard of with a typical custom home purchase. For this reason, I expect the riverfront properties in The Bluffs to pique the attention of those looking for this unique living experience. It will never be easier to build new on the river than through this program offered by elacora.”

Situated on the east bank of the St. Johns River in the Mandarin area of Jacksonville, The Bluffs on Plummers Cove is comprised of just 21 ¼ acre to ½ acre homesites. Visitors to the community are invited to tour elacora’s furnished Windward model home, which recently received a silver award in the Parade of Homes.

Designed specifically for The Bluffs, elacora’s single-family home plans are designed for flexibility and customization. They range in size from approximately 2,280 square feet to more than 4,300 square feet and include three-car garages. All of elacora’s homes at The Bluffs offer a variety of exterior elevation styles, are designed with tile roofs, paver driveways and are constructed using environmentally responsible building practices. All homeowners in The Bluffs can enjoy the views overlooking the St. Johns River from the commonly owned riverfront community promenade.

Homes at The Bluffs are priced from the mid-$400,000s to $1.7 million. Waterfront homes start at $1.5 million.
