The exquisitely detailed architecture and natural setting will give residents the feeling of living alongside a sun-drenched Bahamian harbor rather than just a few miles from the hustle and bustle of the metropolitan areas of Orlando and Jacksonville. Bike to historic downtown St Augustine, or take a short drive to the beach, cultural activities or world-class Golf Courses. The area is a boat owner’s dream, whether you have your own boat moored outside your home or at a slip within a few minute’s walk away, you will soon be out on the open ocean or fishing a backwater of the scenic Intra-coastal Waterway.
St Augustine, the nation’s oldest city is a wealth of history and charm. The city is home to historic fort Matanzas, Castillo de San Marcos, and the St Augustine lighthouse. Horse drawn carriages provide a charming ride through the enchanting and historic downtown that retains the old world feel provided by the Europeans that first settled here in the 1500s. These enchanting homes are Cranewoods Development’s contribution to continuing that tradition.
The unique collection of single family homes, cottages, town homes and penthouses, all feature stunning water views, looking across Salt Run to Anastasia park, the Atlantic ocean and St Augustine inlet. The unique designs feature superbly detailed balconies to maximize the views.
Although the homes are built with traditional exteriors, the interiors are luxuriously equipped for the 21st Century. Purchasers can choose from a selection of custom designed interiors, which enhance the desirability of these beautiful properties. The interiors contain a level of architectural detail unmatched in the area.
Construction manager HCM Construction is a nationally recognized builder based in Jacksonville, Florida. They are well acquainted with the challenges of constructing architecturally detailed homes in coastal environments. The homes have been exquisitely designed by Cronk Duch Partners, an architectural firm known for its heirloom quality home designs, with a flair for historically accurate detail.
Whether you are looking to relocate to Florida from out of state; wishing to purchase an exceptional waterfront home your primary residence; for investment or as a second home, then any of these outstanding residences would be well worth considering.

[First published on the Doing Things Differently blog - #61 - Tighten Our Belts]
http://www.doingthingsdifferently.blogspot.com/
I was the columnist in The London Paper last week, suggesting that the recession is a good thing. Readers vote on whether they want more of you… and 96% did. I also had many comments calling this point of view “refreshing” and “inspiring”. In this, I hear a whispered hope for a move away from ‘business as usual’ to a more enjoyable and equitable way of running our economy.
At its best, this shake-up wake-up call will prompt us to re-prioritise and re-allocate resources. It will make us more aware of where we use money as an excuse to see ourselves as separate from others. Instead of this isolation, we will find ways of leaning in to human energy as our most precious resource and recognise our interdependence.
A great example of this is Liftshare - an organisation that works to bring about sustainable change by encouraging individuals to do things together. There are now 290,000+ people registered and several inspirational stories have emerged.
Sandra from Clacton-on-Sea started car-sharing as a way of saving petrol and impact on the environment and found that “two people who led separate lives have now become great friends, with all the benefits and opportunities that new friendships offer”. They socialise regularly, found they had tons in common, and get to chat, laugh and sing along to 60s and 70s music on the way to and from work.
Similarly with Emma from Swindon, her initial motivations were financial and environmental and says “I have benefited in ways I never imagined, including socially. The company is great, we share ideas, and we exchange knowledge about the local area – where the best markets are, what’s on at the theatre. As I know we have to rely on each other at a particular time of day, I’m much more efficient at work. I can no longer stay late to get things finished so I don’t faff about any more, I just get it done.
And there are wider community benefits, as Clare from Herefordshire describes: “We also pick up and drop off a regular prescription for a friend who has retired and finds it difficult to get to the doctors”.
With lifshare, we see the Triple Bottom Line of a solid, sustainable venture – intending to bring about economic, environmental and societal/inter-personal benefits through its activities. As we tighten our belts and make changes economically, perhaps we’ll also tighten our belts as a community, finding afresh how fulfilling it is to need each other.
Do Things Differently
1) If you had one tenth of your current income, what would you do differently? Make a list. Then assess: in what ways would any of this be preferable? What could you gain as side-effects of these changes? Plato said “Necessity is the mother of invention”. In which ways would your decreased income increase your creativity and innovation?
2) Now return to your current level of income – but keep those new ways in place. What would you do with all that extra money?? Which deeply fulfilling lifestyle benefits would all that abundance bring you?
