Nassau County is Florida’s northeasternmost corner — where wide Atlantic beaches, a storied historic downtown, fast-growing new-construction corridors, and true country acreage all sit within one county line. From the resort living of Amelia Island and the walkable charm of Fernandina Beach to the master-planned growth around Yulee and the wide-open homesites of Callahan and Hilliard, Nassau offers a rare range of lifestyles, all within easy reach of Jacksonville and its airport. Baldwin Home Group knows these communities firsthand — use the live search below to see what’s on the market today, or read on for a guide to each corner of the county.
Amelia Island
Amelia Island is Florida’s northernmost barrier island — thirteen miles of wide Atlantic beaches, canopy roads, championship golf, and a relaxed, upscale coastal pace. Housing ranges from oceanfront condos and beach cottages to gated club communities and luxury estates. It’s a favorite of second-home buyers, retirees, and anyone who wants resort living with a genuine sense of place.
Fernandina Beach
Fernandina Beach anchors the north end of Amelia Island with one of the most charming historic downtowns in the Southeast — a 50-block district of Victorian homes, a working shrimping harbor, and a walkable Centre Street full of shops and restaurants, all steps from the ocean. Buyers here find everything from restored historic homes to newer coastal builds, with the beach and downtown both within reach.
Yulee & Wildlight
Yulee is Nassau County’s growth engine. Master-planned Wildlight has reshaped the area with new-construction neighborhoods, a town center, top-ranked schools, and a walkable, amenity-rich design built on former timber and ranch land — with quick I-95 and A1A access to Jacksonville. Yulee suits families and relocating buyers who want a newer home, strong schools, and a short commute without island prices.
Callahan
Callahan offers country living and acreage just about 20 minutes from Jacksonville. This is small-town Nassau County — homesites with room to build, space for a shop or barn, and a quieter pace, while staying within a straightforward commute of the city. It’s a strong fit for buyers who want land and value without going fully remote.
Hilliard
At the county’s rural northern edge, Hilliard is Nassau’s most affordable acreage and horse-property market. Larger lots, room for animals and hobby farms, and true country quiet define the area — a natural landing spot for buyers who want space and land value above all. For larger tracts and rural land throughout the county, see our Land & Acreage page.
The Nassau County market
Nassau County’s appeal is its range: barrier-island luxury on Amelia Island, walkable history in Fernandina Beach, new-construction family living around Yulee and Wildlight, and country acreage in Callahan and Hilliard — all in one county, and all within reach of Jacksonville. Because these markets differ so much in character and price, local guidance pays off.
