If you’ve been looking for a home in Palencia that checks every box, 148 La Mesa Drive might be it. This 4,175 sq. ft. estate sits inside the prestigious gated community of Palencia in St. Johns County, Florida — and it leads with a private courtyard and tranquil fountain before you ever step through the front door.
Inside, the layout is both elegant and practical. The chef’s kitchen features a gas cooktop, extended cabinetry, and a generous eat-in area. French doors open to a dedicated office, and a flexible bonus room gives you space for a gym, playroom, or whatever your life calls for. With four bedrooms, four and a half baths, and a multigenerational suite upstairs complete with a covered balcony overlooking the preserve, there’s room for everyone — and then some.
The big-ticket updates are already done. Timberline HD roof (2019), Rinnai tankless water heater (2024), screened lanai (2021), and an oversized two-car garage with epoxy floors and custom storage. You’re not inheriting a project — you’re stepping into a move-in ready home.
And the location speaks for itself. Hop on your golf cart and you’re minutes from Palencia’s private golf course, clubhouse, resort pools, fitness center, tennis courts, and nature trails.
