This February 2026 Nocatee market update from Lisa Sells Ponte Vedra covers the community's accelerating path toward build-out — including the fact that only 13 custom homesites remain in the exclusive River Landing at Twenty Mile neighborhood, a new K-8 school in the Seabrook area scheduled to open Fall 2026, and a new St. Johns County park and library north of Nocatee Parkway coming in 2027.
