Blackrock Hammock is conveniently situated within 15 minutes from Jacksonville International Airport, 10 minutes from the quaint town of Fernandina Beach & Amelia Island, 5 minutes from Shops and Schools and 30 minutes to Downtown Jacksonville. Blackrock Hammock’s 100 acres has been developed to complement the natural surroundings in the area.

Nassau County is Florida’s northernmost county, and it is an oasis from the hustle-bustle of Jacksonville, yet it is only 30 minutes away.

Amelia Island’s blue skies and stunning sunsets attract many people each year because of its appealing mellow lifestyle. Famous for hosting world-class events, including the Bausch & Lomb Tennis Championships and the Amelia Island Concourse d’Elegance, it also features an array of fine restaurants, boutiques, galleries and six championship golf courses spread out amidst the island’s lush natural beauty.

Fernandina Beach, the historic city at the island’s northern edge, has a 50-block downtown district, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Centre Street is the heart of the historic district, and it stretches the width of the island from the Intracoastal Waterway to the ocean. It is packed with fascinating shops, outstanding restaurants, Annual Shrimp Festival and welcoming pubs that inhabit delightful 18th century buildings. Whether walking on Fernandina’s docks, sunning and funning on the pristine beaches or being pampered at one of the posh resorts, it is a terrific place to discover.

Neighboring these two distinctive communities is Yulee. David Levy Yulee, a United States Senator and founder of the Florida Railroad, purchased 50,000 acres near Jacksonville. Today, with Amelia Island and Fernandina almost built out, Yulee is a place of growth. This has resulted in new schools and new shopping centers
being built.

Yet with all the growth, the state and federally protected wetlands make up vast tracts of Nassau County, which ensures breathing room between developments as well as a beautiful natural environment.
