Clear Lake Area is a Nassau County community in Callahan where the current market runs from about $530k to $619k, with homes built 2014–2015. Every listing below is live from the MLS — the same data, tax truth, and flood detail as everywhere else on this site, updated continuously. A note on how I work this area: Clear Lake Area sits beyond the St. Johns County and Beaches corridor I serve street-by-street every day. The data here is real and current, and when you are ready to tour or list, I will introduce you to the colleague at my Christie's International Real Estate office who knows this market best — and stay involved as your advocate from first call to closing.
Living Here
What It's Like to Live in Clear Lake Area
Daily life in Clear Lake Area has a distinctly rural pace — the kind of setting where acre-plus lots and open sky are part of the everyday backdrop. When you're ready to venture out, Big Talbot Island State Park is about 22 miles away, offering Boneyard Beach, kayak trails, and exceptional birding along the Nassau River. Fort Clinch State Park on the northern tip of Amelia Island is roughly the same distance and draws visitors for fishing, camping, and Civil War history. For dining, downtown Jacksonville's Cowford Chophouse and the Avondale neighborhood's Restaurant Orsay are both about 17–18 miles south — close enough for a night out, far enough to feel like an occasion. What surprises people touring here is how quickly you can reach both the open landscapes of Nassau County and the full amenities of a major metro.
