Lifestyle & Amenities
We believe that experiences and lifestyle should have a few important attributes:
To celebrate life fully, one should be given great levels of choice
Choice doesn’t have to be expensive or contrived but authentic, personal and fun
Adventure creates enrichment so start seeking, exploring and enjoying what’s around you.
We tend to think of Crane Island as a “base camp” for loved ones. You can wake up, walk to River House, get in a great work out in the lap lanes or gym overlooking the River. You could also kick off a mean bike ride and hit the trails and ride to the Beach in 2.5 miles or set out on a long journey along the 51 miles of path and trails here. You could also do nothing at all and maybe read your morning paper and enjoy your coffee overlooking Kingsley Cut (Intracoastal Waterway) and get in a perfect frame of mind to start your day. In a 5 minute drive, you are at 30+ restaurants, 3 grocery stores, multiple golf courses, marina’s and 12 miles of coastline to take in. 30 to 45 minutes gets you to a major metro city with Jacksonville offering tremendous offerings in the Arts, Healthcare, Shopping, Dining, and an International Airport.
Closer to home and back to the “base-camp”, Crane Island presents this incredible private haven in one of the purest maritime forest islands in the United States. We are a sanctuary of privacy yet we are so close to everything one would want. Our parks, trails, and River House are the beginning and the rest of is up to you. When you are on an island within Amelia Island, a lot is possible by land or by boat. For those who enjoy the service and delivery of a club experience, one of the options to consider is the Amelia Island Club. Complete with 2 golf courses, 20+ tennis courts, multiple restaurants, a world-class Beach Club, fitness, and use rights to the Omni resort, there is often something for everyone here.
Beyond that, the wonder of Amelia Island & Fernandina Beach is at your doorstep and we invite you to watch the below video and be sure to check out the many tours we put together on our interactive map to experience the island from a “locals” point of view.
What will the homes look like?
Each home will maximize exposure to the island and feature a stunning front porch, a signature experience for the community. We created Design Guidelines to help shape this Crane Island Style with 4 interpretations of Amelia Artisan, Florida Homestead, Island Contemporary, and New Carribean.
