Over 2,600 acres have been placed under the stewardship of UF/IFAS, so nature stays close for generations.
Walk over for what’s in season, meet your neighbors, and watch your kids learn where food comes from.
Porches, paths, and gathering places that help make life well-lived.
A century of stewardship behind it, and a place worth passing down.
Everlee is the holistic vision for a new resilient community in Alachua County, planned on the remaining 900 acres of a rare 4,000-acre property, which has been owned and cared for by the same family for nearly a century. When the question became “What could this land become?” the first commitment was protection, not typical urban development. Over 2,600 acres have now been placed under the stewardship of UF/IFAS. That natural Florida landscape is not just a backdrop. It is the fabric for an enduring neighbor that shapes how a community can feel and thrive for generations to come.
Everlee is being planned as a walkable, interconnected farmstead community for roughly 2,700 families to call home as Alachua County grows. At the community’s center is a professionally managed working farm designed to serve residents and neighbors through Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), a farm stand, and seasonal markets. Bringing people together through organized classes, dinners, and seasonal gatherings is another pillar in the community plan. Around the farm, six thoughtfully planned hamlets help organize daily life focused on health, nature, connection, and purpose. This holistic vision is still evolving and is being shaped with community input. If you would like updates and opportunities to stay involved, click “Keep Me Informed.”
