Huizenga Holdings purchased Frederica in a joint real estate venture with Wells Fargo in October, 2010.
Frederica, perhaps one of the remaining best kept secrets of the Golden Isles, is a premier private club and community on the north end of St. Simons Island. The 3,000 acre property encompasses 400 acres of man-made freshwater lake stocked with trophy bass. Draped in a canopy of oaks by a centuries-old maritime forest, the community is almost of another era. Frederica is an upscale private neighborhood attracting interest because of its sprawling lot size and appreciation of nature. But not a word . . . We shouldn’t even be telling you this since, by sheer definition, one of the reasons that Frederica is so magical is because it has somehow managed to stay off o/f the well-beaten path.
The Heart of the Community
The heart of the Frederica community is Frederica Golf Club with its 36,000 square foot elegantly designed Clubhouse and Pub. Members treasure the Tom Fazio designed golf course and state-of-the-art Golf Learning Center. Frederica is a veritable playground for several PGA Touring professionals. Spider Miller, Captain of America’s Walker Cup Team this year shares, “Frederica keeps getting better and better. Mr. and Mrs. Huizenga have left no stone untouched. The staff and the congenial membership make Frederica right for our family. You can’t go wrong living here!” The first-class amenities and extraordinary team of professionals are focused entirely on providing high quality experiences.
Community Update
Over the last few years, Frederica has also focused on many improvements to the Golf Club and the community. “We recently completed the road and bridges to connect Pike’s Bluff Road to Pike’s Bluff Drive. Residents now enjoy easy access to the western neighborhoods of Frederica. With the completion of the Residents’ Gate and Mail Center in 2013, the southern part of Frederica has become a popular choice for new residents,” shares Alex Muxo, President of Frederica Development Group.
Part of the major road expansion to complete the Pike’s Bluff Loop included simultaneous expansion of Frederica Lake. Captain Teddy Elrod, Wildlife and Recreation Manager, is excited about the additional areas for boating and fishing and now manages the interconnected waterways all the way to the southern areas of Frederica. “You can now take a boat from the Frederica Boathouse all the way to the Frederica Stables. The waterways are stunning and offer hours of boating pleasure . . . not to mention some great fishing!”
Captain Teddy Elrod caught the Lake record bass on March 22, 2014, weighing in at 12 lbs, 8 oz.
Thoughtful Development with Momentum
What’s most impressive throughout Frederica is the attention to preserving the natural landscape both in the Club and amenity areas of Frederica and during the improvement of privately owned home sites. A set of Standards and Design guidelines govern the growth of the community and are designed to preserve and enhance the natural environment, native forest and wildlife. These guidelines also assist in achieving a continuity that embraces residential architecture, varied in style, yet consistent in design quality and craftsmanship.
Interest in Frederica continues to grow and real estate momentum reflects the fact that the secret is out. “There were 13 homes at Frederica when Huizenga Holdings began development of the property in early 2011. Now, including all of the homes under construction and in design, there are 56,” shares Tommy Elsberry, President of Frederica Realty. Interest in Frederica can be attributed to a number of different things. Beautiful home sites with live oak canopies complementing the natural environment, and the variety and quality of housing choices, in addition to the unmatched amenities has attracted many new families to considering Frederica as their home.
