Local notes for Santa Fe

Santa Fe properties sit on larger lots: older farmhouses, newer rural homes, and acreage with barns and workshops. The area sits on karst limestone, and older homes can show settling that ends up as cracks in interior walls.

Santa Fe takes its name from the Santa Fe River, along the I-75 and US-441 corridor north of Alachua.
The river’s name traces to Santa Fe de Toloca, a Spanish mission established along it in the 1600s.
Acreage properties with detached structures are common here.
