County map status. Active · Mixed-use
General area. St. Augustine / US 1

Also on the county record. Rio del Norte
The county lists Palencia North as its own PUD. A marketing name on the record is Rio del Norte. It is next to Palencia, not a nickname for every street north of the clubhouse.
Expect the same US 1 questions as Palencia proper: commute toward Jacksonville, weekend pull toward St. Augustine, and school zoning that must be checked by address.

The site is about 865 acres, with room for up to 641 homes and 7,500 sq ft of retail (county ordinance).

The Intracoastal Waterway is the east boundary, and the site included Pine Island Fish Camp (county ordinance).
