Lake Asbury, Green Cove Springs, Florida

Lake Asbury offers multiple lifestyles, which is different than most cookie cutter neighborhoods. If you're looking for waterfront homes, there are 3 lakes, with about 430 properties. One lake (Lake Ryan) is for paddle boats and canoes, the other two lakes, (Lake Asbury & South Lake) you can enjoy boats and jet skis. Only the lake owners have access to the boat ramps on these two lakes.

 There are also properties zoned for horses for the equestrian folks. What all the lots have in common are some elbow room. Some properties start at 1/4 acre, but those are rare, the majority are 1 acre or more, some even at 5 acres and up.

Inside the Lake Asbury neighborhood is the local fire dept, that's gotta make you feel a little better, knowing those guys and gals are close by. There's also a small playground and community center right next to the fire department.

The lake owners are part of the Lake Asbury Municipal Service Benefit District. (LAMSBD). The function of the LAMSBD is to preserve the quality of the lakes and LALLOA would retain all authority as to lake usage and title to the lots that posses the boat ramp access to the lakes.

Lake Asbury is located in a quiet community, a little ways from the hustle and bustle, but still close to shopping, churches, boat ramps, walking distance to two schools (see below for school info), about 35 mins from NAS Jax. Taking the scenic route to St Augustine, you can be there in about 40-45 mins, even though mapquest says about an hour. No, I don't have the pedal to the medal either. :)

 These pictures were taken in January, so not quite as green as it normally is.
