A long-term thesis built on verifiable facts, not promises.
Putnam County sits in Northeast Florida, split by the St. Johns River. The county seat is Palatka; Interlachen, Florahome, Satsuma and Hawthorne are the communities where our lots are. Its main asset is location: from Interlachen, Gainesville (University of Florida and the UF Health complex) is about 33 minutes away, Palatka 22, St. Augustine 1h12 and Jacksonville between 1h and 1h15.
Let's be direct: Putnam grows slowly. It had 73,321 residents in 2020 and about 77,700 in 2025, up 6% in five years, and median income is below the Florida average. What makes it interesting is the entry price, a few thousand dollars, and the neighbors: fast-growing counties like Clay, St. Johns and Alachua.
What changed in recent years are three concrete moves, all with public sources: the purchase of more than 5,200 acres by entities tied to the founder of Bass Pro Shops in the south of the county; the unanimous approval of a $200 million motorsports complex next to the Palatka airport; and the opening of the final segment of the First Coast Expressway in Clay County, which shortens the drive from Palatka to Jacksonville. Every item in the timeline below carries a status, a date and a link.
Our thesis is simple: a low entry price in dollars, Florida with no state income tax, annual property tax in the tens to a few hundred dollars, and a region receiving verifiable investment. Nobody knows what the land will be worth in ten years, and we won't pretend we do.
Third-party projects referenced here (Bass Pro Shops / Johnny Morris, the motorsports complex, roadway projects) belong to third parties, are at different stages, some only reported or proposed, and may change, be delayed or be cancelled. No affiliation or sponsorship is implied. Nothing on this page is a promise of appreciation, return or resale. Past market performance does not indicate future results.
Since 2021, entities tied to Johnny Morris have acquired 231 parcels totaling more than 5,200 acres (about 2,100 hectares) in the Welaka and Satsuma area. The area exceeds the combined footprint of Disney's four theme parks (about 950 acres); the entire Walt Disney World complex, hotels included, is far larger (about 25,000 acres). It is land purchased, not a development built. Welaka is about 25 miles south of Palatka and is not adjacent to Interlachen or Florahome.
WUFT, Jul 22, 2024Then-mayor Jamie Watts said publicly that Bass Pro intends to build in and near the town and that it is “obviously going to be some sort of resort, not a store.” That is a local official's statement: the company has not confirmed it, no project has been filed with the county and there is no construction on the land. Bass Pro describes its vision only as “a high-quality, nature-based attraction.”
First Coast NewsThe county's Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Council launched a five-year campaign that raised $3,033,750 at its launch event. The stated goals are 750 primary jobs, more than 220 indirect jobs and $500 million in new capital investment. Goals, not results.
North Florida Economic Development PartnershipGrowth of roughly 6% in five years, according to Census estimates. Putnam is the 40th most populous of Florida's 67 counties, with a median household income of $47,256 (2023). The case for the region is price and proximity to growing counties (Clay, St. Johns, Alachua), not its own growth.
U.S. Census Bureau QuickFactsApproved unanimously, the impact fees apply to anyone building on land never built upon and fund fire rescue, law enforcement, public buildings and water/wastewater. The amount scales with the size of the building. It goes into the budget of anyone planning to build.
Putnam County, official noticeThe County Commission unanimously approved the rezoning of 440 acres for the project by former NASCAR drivers Scott Lagasse Sr. and Jr. (Team SLR): a high-performance driver-training road course, kart track, garage condos, museum, four-star hotel, RV campground and technical courses with St. Johns River State College. Developer-estimated impact: $20 million per year. It is a private complex: NASCAR is not involved and no race has been announced.
Jacksonville Today, Nov 19, 2025Palatka Municipal Airport (Kay Larkin Field, code 28J) has existed for decades, with a 6,000 ft (1,829 m) main runway that can handle business jets and a 257-acre business park next door. The FAA money is for the apron: maintenance, not expansion. No airport is being built in the county.
FAA, AIP Grants, May 12, 2026The town began construction of a 125,000-gallon-per-day treatment plant, with about 18 months of work, funded almost entirely by the state (local share of $200,000). Officials tie the project to future growth and development opportunities in the south of the county.
Palatka Daily News, May 15, 2026FDOT opened the segment between US 17, south of Green Cove Springs, and the vicinity of the Shands Bridge. The expressway (SR 23) does not enter Putnam County, but it shortens the drive for anyone leaving Palatka on US 17 toward Jacksonville. The eastern segment, to I-95, remains under construction until about 2030.
Florida State Road 23, WikipediaThe developers projected groundbreaking on the first phase in the first quarter of 2026 and an opening around 2027, with 12 to 18 months of construction. This is the developers' timeline; we could not independently confirm that construction has started.
Jacksonville Today, Nov 19, 2025Lots from $5,800 to $26,200, cash. Portuguese-language sites typically advertise land from $15,000 to $120,000. Here, the check to start owning property in the United States fits many people's budget.
Florida has no state income tax for individuals. U.S. federal taxes still apply, and so do your own obligations at home. Talk to your accountant.
Tax is levied on the tax base determined by the county (≈ 1.69% outside city limits; ≈ 2.38% inside Interlachen), which is usually well below the purchase price. In practice, tens to a few hundred dollars a year. Vacant land gets no homestead exemption.
From Interlachen, the University of Florida and the UF Health complex are about 33 minutes away; Jacksonville, between 1h and 1h15. Orlando is 1h45 from Palatka: it is not next door, and we won't say it is.
Five steps, fully remote, with a Florida-licensed title company.
Review the official county data on the lot page and message us on WhatsApp. If you want, we arrange the formal county Lot Inquiry ($45) before anything is signed.
You sign the contract electronically. The binding document is in English; we walk you through every clause in your language. It sets the price, the timeline and that the property is sold as-is.
A Florida-licensed title company runs the title search, receives the payment into an escrow account and issues the title commitment, which shows any recorded restrictions on the lot.
International wire transfer directly to the title company's escrow account, never to an individual. No visa, residency or Social Security Number required.
Once the payment clears, the warranty deed is signed and recorded in the Official Records of Putnam County, with owner's title insurance available. You receive the recorded copy and the property tax bill starts arriving in your name.
The time between contract and recording depends on the title company and the international transfer; we give you an estimate before you sign. We are not lawyers or accountants: for the purchase structure (individual or company) and tax effects in your home country, consult your own.
