Luxury Real Estate in Epping Forest Yacht Club, Jacksonville, Florida
Epping Forest Yacht Club is located on the south bank of the St. Johns River in the Ortega neighborhood of Jacksonville, Duval County — one of Jacksonville’s most established and storied residential addresses. The community’s deep-water river frontage on the St. Johns River provides private dock access for vessels in the 40-to-100-foot range, with the river’s main navigational channel maintaining depths of 25 to 35 feet in this section.
The St. Johns River as a Boating Platform
The St. Johns River is one of the only major rivers in the United States that flows north — from Central Florida north to Jacksonville and the Atlantic Ocean. The river’s navigability from Jacksonville to the open Atlantic (a transit of approximately 25 miles) gives Epping Forest estate owners access to the open ocean without any of the inland waterway routing required by communities on enclosed bays or lagoons. The St. Johns is wide, deep, and commercial-vessel navigated, providing conditions that can accommodate the largest recreational vessels.
