Wildlight

Wildlight, FL
Homes from the $300s - $700s

A new kind of Lowcountry Living

You might say that Wildlight is where the beachy vibe of Amelia Island and the culture of Jacksonville meet in the middle—with each destination a mere 20 minutes in either direction. But it’s so much more than that. It’s a community that focuses on both walkability and wellness—where a short stroll or bike ride can lead you to your favorite ice cream shop, hair salon, burger spot, or Publix supermarket. And a UF Health and YMCA are right in the neighborhood.

With a variety of home types, from low-maintenance living townhomes to spacious single-family homes and a 55+ active adult neighborhood with resort-style amenities, there is something for every life stage. All located in neighborhoods that are surrounded by nature and connected by trails. (And a new neighborhood with more home types opening late 2025!)

A town, in nature

You’ll find that what has been preserved at Wildlight is every bit as important to the community as what has been developed. Over 12 miles of scenic nature trails wind through neighborhoods and take you into our Village Center. And hundreds of acres of the community have been set aside for permanent conservation—with wetlands, parks, and trails putting the great outdoors steps from your front door.
