Putnam County West Homes for Sale

This search covers western Putnam County, a rural stretch of lakes, pine woods and small communities between Palatka and the Alachua County line. The town of Interlachen, about 15 miles west of Palatka, grew up after the Florida Southern Railway arrived in the 1870s and was incorporated in 1888; its 1895 Interlachen Academy is described as the oldest wooden schoolhouse in continuous use in Florida. NAS Jacksonville is about 50 miles away, so this area suits buyers who want land and quiet more than a short commute. Public schools are part of the Putnam County School District.
