Latest News from ICI Homes in Ponte Vedra
May 8, 2025If it’s springtime, it’s Parade of Homes time, and that’s what happened when the Northeast Florida Builders Association recently hosted its annual springtime Parade.
Nocatee — the master-planned community south of Jacksonville and north of historic St. Augustine — featured prominently, as always. Long one of the nation’s top-selling communities, Nocatee offered no less than 13 model homes from multiple preferred builders and ICI Homes contributed three models.
We’re especially calling attention to our Santa Cruz model home in the Seabrook Village II neighborhood. It’s one of Nocatee’s final new neighborhoods — after two decades, this amazing master-planned community is nearing closeout! — and Seabrook Village II is a special place.
You’re in the right spot if you’re hunting your new custom Florida home in Nocatee. ICI Homes is a longtime preferred builder here and aside from Seabrook Village II, we’re also active in Nocatee’s West End at Town Center, Coral Ridge and Reflections neighborhoods (visit us at those locations too).
But, if you missed this year’s NEFBA spring parade, no worries! Here’s more about our Santa Cruz model in Seabrook Village II.
The details
Our two-level Santa Cruz floor plan offers 2,720 square feet with four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and a two-vehicle garage. Choose from three elevations (a home’s exterior design and appearance) with two elevations — the Coastal and West Indies — offering roomy front porches on both levels of the home.
Like all ICI Homes floor plans, the Santa Cruz is endlessly versatile thanks to our constant dedication to customization. All our homes contain bonus space that can be customized (configured as a home office in the Seabrook Village II model) plus a covered lanai for outdoor living inspiration.
Other highlights of the Santa Cruz model home at Seabrook Village II:
As mentioned, a home office tucked off the entrance corridor in a tranquil part of the first floor.
A discrete, jewel-box powder room nearby.
A lighted closet under the stairs that’s almost another small room, storage-wise.
A soaring living, dining and kitchen space with plentiful windows for brightness and tantalizing peeks at the outdoor living space.
In the kitchen, a multi-function island serves as a prep, serving and casual dining stage. Don’t miss the lighted upper glass cabinets and blue tile statement backsplash.
Outside, find a summer kitchen, fire pit, and multi-tiered dining and lounging spaces.
The first-level owner’s suite overlooks the outdoor living space and has plenty of room for seating and relaxing. Its bathroom features an enormous wet-room shower and walk-in closet outfitted with a built-in chest and wall mirror.
At the back of the walk-in closet, a door opens into the laundry room with its double-stack washer and dryer, a roomy sink and plenty of cabinetry for extra pantry supplies.
Head upstairs to find another living space with seating. A corridor leads to three bedrooms and a bathroom while a door off the living area leads to the second-floor porch.

March 19, 2025One of Florida’s top attributes is its wealth of outdoor recreational offerings and the tens of thousands of stunning acreage on which to enjoy them.
If you’re considering buying or building a new custom Florida home at Nocatee, gorgeous surroundings and outdoor recreation are two cornerstones of this longstanding, top-selling master-planned community in Ponte Vedra.
Its resident amenities are legendary and rightfully so. But Nocatee also is home to the Nocatee Preserve, an outdoorsy jewel that totals 2,400 acres. It’s nestled between Nocatee’s eastern boundary and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway — basically in your back yard if you own a new custom Florida home in a Nocatee neighborhood where ICI Homes is a preferred builder.
Here’s how to explore the Nocatee Preserve
The particulars
The Nocatee Preserve is an elongated tract that runs from Davis Park to the north, south to Nocatee Landing, forming an undeveloped barrier between Nocatee and the Tolomato River (which doubles as the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway). It was donated to St. Johns County by Nocatee’s developer, the PARC Group, in 2006.
Its unpaved trails attract hikers, mountain bikers, runners, walkers and equestrians, but there’s plenty of room for all to roam some of northeast Florida’s protected natural beauty.
The Nocatee Preserve trailhead and main entrance is located at 501 Davis Park Road, at the southern end of Davis Park, another St. Johns County facility. Here, trail users will find parking for vehicles and horse trailers, plus restrooms.
Exploring the Nocatee Preserve
Its terrain showcases both uplands and wetlands, offering pristine vistas of coastal forests and grasslands, with water never far away.
The wide main trail runs for 3.5 miles to the Nocatee Landing Trail, which hooks east to Nocatee Landing, a conservation area that offers non-motorized personal watercraft access to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.
The Nocatee Preserve is splendid for bird watching and wildlife viewing. You’ll discover all sorts of critters — birds, snakes, alligators, otters, crabs and many others — but enjoy them with a safety-first approach while keeping your distance.
The Bike Skills Area offers mountain bikers an opportunity to show their stuff. From the trailhead, it’s located at the one-mile marker of the Nocatee Preserve’s main trail. Several trails fork off from there and are embedded with wooden tracks that climb, curve and twist in varying elevations and degrees of difficulty along the way. These features challenge a cyclist’s handling and riding skills, and are geared to various skill levels.
Some helpful tips
We mentioned one above — give Nocatee Preserve wildlife a wide berth.
Another tip is to dress for outdoor pursuits with sturdy hiking boots or running shoes, and a third is to carry water, sunscreen and bug repellent. A shady hat and/or bike helmet is always a good idea!
Combine the Sunshine State’s temperate year-round climate with a passion for outdoor exploits, and you’ll be right at home in your search for a new custom Florida home.

The latter is one of Florida’s top master-planned communities and we at ICI Homes are pleased to help customers design and enjoy their dream homes in a special Nocatee neighborhood.

Here’s how to snag your luxury custom home at Coral Ridge at Nocatee.
Why Nocatee
Long one of the best-selling master-planned communities in the U.S., Nocatee is approaching closeout. Its final new neighborhoods are in development — including Coral Ridge — and its amenities are legendary.
Two splash parks, 13 community parks and nine dog parks alone give you a sense of what’s here, along with sports fields, Nocatee Town Center for shopping, dining and services, and pristine Atlantic beaches a few miles east.
Nocatee also is bordered by the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and minutes from Interstate 95, historic St. Augustine to the south, and Jacksonville to the north.
Finally, here’s a PSA to customers seeking a custom luxury family home: stellar St. Johns County schools are only minutes from Coral Ridge
Why Coral Ridge
Along with being one of Nocatee’s final neighborhoods, it’s a marvelous opportunity to live in this stunning northeast Florida community.
Located off Conservation Trail in Nocatee’s southwest flank, Coral Ridge is part of Nocatee’s Seabrook Village collection of neighborhoods. It sits amid conservation acreage and ponds, and its 70-foot lots mean plenty of space to craft your luxury dream home.
Its gates ensure an additional sense of peace and privacy. But when you want to have some neighborly fun, head to nearby Seabrook Park, the just-opened, community-specific amenity where you’ll find a dog park, swimming pool and playground.
Start with ICI Homes
On offer at Coral Ridge are five amazing floor plans — three parade-of-homes award winners and two of our largest residential designs.
The two-level Brooke and single-level Monica are the models here, with the Brooke checking in at 3,653 square feet, five bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and a three-vehicle garage, and the Monica boasting 3,488 square feet, four bedrooms, fourth bathrooms and garage space for four vehicles.
The single-level Egret V (3,067 square feet) is one of our most popular homes, while the two-level Augusta and Breckenridge spread out in the 4,000-square-foot range.
Make them your own
Our Coral Ridge floor plans are a fantastic start, but if you need some improvisation, tell us!
Customization is an ICI Homes pillar, and we love to move walls, tweak layouts and design to your specifications. Don’t hesitate to ask our design pros for customization help. Remember: imagination is your only limitation!
