A fully updated, pond-view Fairfield home with a main-level primary suite and one of Ponte Vedra's most amenity-loaded gated communities behind the gate.

107 Island Drive, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL 32082

$760,000

Stand at the back of 107 Island Drive on any given morning, and the pond is right there, catching the early light, framed by the glass-enclosed sun porch. The two-story living room reaches up around you, bright and open, the kind of space that feels larger than the square footage suggests. This is a Fairfield cottage that has been updated with intention, lived in with care, and positioned at a price point where move-in condition and water views rarely meet. If you have been watching Ponte Vedra Beach and waiting for the combination to appear, this is worth your Thursday afternoon.

Fairfield does not come up often at this price with this much already done. When it does, it tends to go quietly, and buyers who tour early are the ones who close.

WoW #1: The primary suite is on the main floor, and that changes everything.

In Ponte Vedra Beach, single-family homes with a main-level primary suite are a smaller subset of an already competitive market. At 107 Island Drive, the primary bedroom is tucked downstairs with his-and-hers closets, a walk-in closet, and a shower-only bathroom finished in a clean, updated style. There is no navigating stairs first thing in the morning or last thing at night. Two additional bedrooms sit upstairs, creating a natural separation between the owner's retreat and the rest of the house.

For buyers approaching retirement, empty nesters scaling down without sacrificing square footage or quality, and remote workers who want a proper ground-floor bedroom that functions as a sanctuary, this layout is harder to replace than any countertop upgrade. The split-bedroom configuration adds privacy for guests or a home office setup upstairs without any of the sound bleed that plagues open-concept two-story homes.

This is the kind of floor plan detail buyers mention in the parking lot after the showing.

WoW #2: The light-filled, two-story living room is not what you expect from 1,682 square feet.

The moment the front door opens, the volume of the main living space resets your sense of scale. The two-story great room pulls light from multiple angles, keeping the home bright through the day without the direct afternoon glare that punishes west-facing rooms. An entrance foyer with built-in features connects the front of the home to the living and dining spaces without feeling like a hallway.

The glass-enclosed sun porch off the back extends the usable footprint of the main level and creates a transition space between the air-conditioned interior and the pond view outside. It is a room that earns its keep year-round: coffee in the morning, a wind-down spot in the evening, a reading room during the afternoon. In a home this size, a properly finished sun porch adds daily quality of life in a way that a formal dining room rarely does.

The family room and breakfast nook round out the main level, giving the layout a natural flow between cooking, eating, and relaxing without any awkward circulation.

WoW #3: The Fairfield amenity package is the strongest value proposition in the zip code at this price.

Fairfield sits just off A1A at the south end of Ponte Vedra Beach proper, behind a manned security gate, with 462 residences, 13 private lakes, and an amenity roster that most communities two price tiers up cannot match. The $571 quarterly HOA fee covers yard maintenance, common areas, and garbage pickup, which, for a buyer who wants less, not more, of the weekend maintenance grind, is a significant quality-of-life calculation.

What the fee buys access to:

• Clubhouse with air-conditioned fitness room

• Family pool and separate adult pool

• Jacuzzi and sauna

• Tennis and pickleball courts

• Basketball courts

• Multiple playgrounds

• RV and boat storage lot (rare in this zip code)

• Beautifully maintained green space throughout the community

The A1A public beach access is a short walk or bike ride from the gate. Sawgrass Village, with a Starbucks and a range of restaurants and shops, is immediately adjacent to the community entrance. Ponte Vedra Rawlings Elementary, Alice B. Landrum Middle, and Ponte Vedra High School, all among St. Johns County's consistently rated schools, serve the address. Sawgrass Village Circle, where Keller Williams Realty Atlantic Partners offices are, is less than three miles up A1A.

• 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1 half bath across two levels

• Primary suite on the main floor with his-and-hers closets, a walk-in closet, and a shower-only bathroom

About Fairfield.

Fairfield is a gated community of 462 homes at the south end of Ponte Vedra Beach, developed primarily between 1985 and 1997, positioned just west of A1A, where the four-lane corridor narrows to two. The neighborhood is defined by 13 private lakes threaded through maintained green spaces, a manned security gate with 24-hour access, and an HOA structure that keeps exteriors and common areas consistently well-presented. Its location places residents minutes from the Atlantic, immediately adjacent to Sawgrass Village's shops and restaurants, and zoned into St. Johns County's well-regarded Ponte Vedra school cluster: Rawlings Elementary, Landrum Middle, and Ponte Vedra High. It is one of the few communities at this price point in the corridor that combines a gated lifestyle with genuine amenity depth and walkable beach proximity.

See it before someone else does.

Fairfield homes in this condition, with this layout and a true pond view, come up a handful of times a year. The combination of a main-level primary suite, updated interior, glass-enclosed sun porch, and HOA-covered maintenance in a 32082 gated community at $805,000 is a specific intersection that does not stay open long.
