Alford Farms

SR 207 / Alford Road, East Palatka

As of a public-file review in August 2026, Alford Farms is still in engineering and environmental permitting. Putnam County approved an Agriculture-to-PUD rezoning on August 13, 2024 (Ordinance 2024-017, case PUD24-000004) for roughly 165 acres along SR 207 and Alford Road in East Palatka. The entitlement described up to 700 single-family homes plus about 60,000 square feet of commercial space, an amenity center, and a park. Later engineering materials (September 2025) show a 559-lot layout. D.R. Horton, Inc. is named as an agent in the county file. St. Johns River Water Management District file 224892-1 was received August 29, 2024. An RAI went out February 20, 2025; a partial response followed in June 2025. No plat has been recorded and no model home is open.

Public market reports for mid-2026 disagree because they measure different things. Zillow-style typical values for Putnam County sit near $220,000. County-wide sale medians in some realtor summaries are in the mid-$200,000s. Redfin’s three-month Putnam median around June 2026 printed near $309,000. Palatka listing medians on Realtor.com were near $300,000. Treat this as a band, not a price tag: mix of sales (waterfront vs inland, new vs old) moves the median more than any one month of “the market.”

Compiled from public market dashboards (Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, and local MLS recaps) as of June–July 2026. Not an appraisal.
