For many, maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle can often feel like an obligatory task rather than a source of enjoyment. Yet there’s one master-planned community in North Florida that’s challenging the notion that exercise has to feel like a chore. The designers of Tributary believe that infusing outdoor adventures into everyday life is the key to an active lifestyle. Surrounded by wetlands and preserves on over 1,550 acres, each day provides opportunities for residents to get outdoors and have fun. Discover how families at Tributary never run out of ways to embrace the community’s mantra and “Explore More.”
Overlooking a wide lake with a forested natural shoreline, Tributary’s Lookout Amenity Center offers a wealth of amenities that inspire residents to lead active lives. The 4,700-square-foot Fitness Center boasting state-of-the-art strength and cardio equipment is just the beginning of ways residents can keep their body, mind, and spirit in tip-top shape. With a lifestyle team on-site daily, there’s always an opportunity to join a Mat Pilates class, a ballroom dancing social, or a group kayak tour.
Just outside The Lookout, two pickleball courts allow residents to engage in America’s fastest-growing sport. Easy-to-understand mechanics and friendly competition keep players of all skill levels engaged and excited to play. At the Adventure Zone tot-lot, vibrant play equipment made by Kompan and soft landing pads ignite children’s imaginations, providing hours of fun. As the day winds down, residents can relax in the resort-style pool, with plenty of stylish chaise lounges providing a welcoming and leisurely atmosphere.
Residents’ furry friends can also enjoy the beauty of nature while staying active. The Pawsome Dog Park offers separate play areas for large and small dogs, each complete with obstacle courses to challenge the most energetic pups. The dynamic arena serves as an ideal spot for teaching pups new tricks or for socializing with neighbors while making plans for future adventures.
For those seeking a more serene outdoor experience, an extensive network of nature trails are thoughtfully designed with organic, shell, stone, and paved pathways. These trails provide the perfect opportunity for residents to take leisurely strolls, unwind, and immerse themselves in the natural surroundings. The community’s nature trails and green spaces are not only havens for Tributary residents but also provide habitats for local wildlife. Deer, turkey, waterfowl, and an array of songbirds have also found their home within the community.
One of Nassau County’s newest recreational gems, the 40-acre Tributary Regional Park offers entertainment and adventure for visitors of all ages. Let younger children run wild at the playground, while a multipurpose recreational field and numerous baseball fields offer plentiful opportunities for pick-up kickball, baseball, or soccer games. Bring a blanket and some lunch for an afternoon picnic in the wide-open green spaces, or adventure down endless trails to spot all the area’s wildlife. Future plans will also include a dog park and a canoe and kayak launch at Boggy Creek.
Tributary is also surrounded by natural neighbors, with Boggy Creek to the south and Four Creeks State Forest to the west, offering endless outdoor adventures. The forest’s expansive 14,000 acres become an extension of residents’ backyards, encouraging families to spend time together in nature. Whether on foot, bike, or horseback, families can traverse the miles of nature trails that meander through the forest. They may even catch a glimpse of white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, or a myriad of bird species that call this sanctuary home. Four naturally flowing creeks within the park provide a wealth of water-based adventures as well. Fishing enthusiasts can cast their lines for prized catches, while tranquil waters provide the perfect playground for canoeing and kayaking excursions.
Located just north of Jacksonville in Nassau County, Tributary is a new master-planned community that spans 1,550 acres of land. Tributary offers new, single-family homes starting from the $300s, built by David Weekley Homes, Dream Finders Homes, Lennar, and Richmond American Homes. Additionally, Tributary announced the addition of Lakeview 55+, Nassau County’s newest active-adult neighborhood within the community.
Tributary’s Model Home Village features 6 designer-decorated models, with 2 additional model homes set to open in the near future. The models are open daily for tours or can be toured virtually.
