Putnam County South Homes for Sale

This search covers southern Putnam County, where the St. Johns River and a chain of lakes shape small towns such as Crescent City, Welaka and Pomona Park. Crescent City sits between two lakes and was platted in 1876; its historic district is listed on the National Register, and Eagle's Nest Grove there is billed as Florida's oldest continuous organic citrus grove. Welaka, a small town of about 700 people, sits right on the St. Johns River. This is a long way from the area's bases, about 65 miles from NAS Jacksonville, so it tends to suit buyers looking for a lake or river setting. Public schools are part of the Putnam County School District. Browse current southern Putnam County homes for sale below.
