Not far from the sugar-sand shores of Daytona Beach, the serene Halifax River and a stone’s throw from vibrant Port Orange, Tomoka Farms is a rural escape into peaceful Southern living. Blending rolling hills and lush green pastures blanketed with towering oaks and sunny palms, big-city amenities and abundant water recreation, residents are treated to country, city and beachy vibes wrapped into one quaint community.
Residents have abundant opportunities to build any architectural style they desire, and houses are set back from the main streets, down winding dirt roads with plenty of room, providing ultimate peace and tranquility. “The newer construction in other parts of Port Orange is often built a lot closer together, so this area is very desirable for those who want to spread out, and there’s no homeowner association, so you have a little more freedom with the creativity of home styles,” says Ann Manning, Realtor with Weichert Realtors, Hallmark Properties. Tomoka Farms features brightly colored ranch-style homes, Florida-style cottages and sprawling farmhouses. Most homes were built in the 1980s, ranging from $307,000 to $675,000. While its homes exude Southern charm, the most appealing aspect of the neighborhood is the stunning, sprawling lots. “The area has acreage, so somebody looking for land and more space will really love Tomoka Farms,” says Manning. The median lot size is 108,900 square feet, but many span over 16 acres – perfect for farm activities, equestrian enthusiasts or those with a green thumb to create their own unique slice of paradise. Many homes boast multi-car garages, covered front porches, sparking pools surrounded by screened-in lanais and spacious paved driveways perfect for RVs or other toys. The pristine landscaped lawns are filled with garden beds, potted plants and tangerine, banana and lemon trees. And with a dense canopy of towering oaks with hanging Spanish moss lining the streets, residents will feel like they are in their own private oasis.
Florida State Routes 415 and 421 or the county’s Votran public transit get residents around the area, including Port Orange, a 7-mile drive. U.S. Route 92 provides easy access to the broader region and Daytona Beach, 11 miles away.
Served by the Volusia County Schools System, local scholars attend Cypress Creek Elementary, Creekside Middle School and Spruce Creek High School. Both the elementary and middle schools received a B-plus from Niche. Cypress Creek provides STEM curriculum, a track and field club and after-school yoga. Earning an A from Niche, Spruce Creek offers football and beach volleyball, hiking and rowing clubs and a Tomorrow’s Leaders Program.
Residents can practice their swing at Crane Lakes Golf and Country Club. This semi-private 18-hole course hosts the Florida Professional Golf Tour every February and other yearly tournaments. Whether you are a frequent golfer or new to the sport, the PGA of America short tees are great for golfers of all levels. The South Cypress Head Golf Club, another 18-hole course carved into the dense forestry of the area, is also available for tee times. Just three miles away at Coraci Park, let the kids play, picnic in the open green space or play a pickup softball game. Or head over to Willow Run Park, a 5-mile drive to stroll among the towering oaks or play tennis.
Journey further into the surrounding city of Port Orange for all your shopping needs. Fill your refrigerator with essentials from Publix Supermarket at Westport Plaza, which also offers a Kohl’s, a bank and a gas station.
