Hollister offers a quiet, woodsy setting where starry skies and spacious lots are part of everyday life, yet errands and essentials along State Road 20 are close at hand. Many residents are drawn to the area’s privacy and room to grow, with a mix of modest homes, acreage properties, and new builds that make it easy to find a place that fits your goals.
Weekends here tend to spill outdoors. Leafy trails and dramatic gardens await at Ravine Gardens State Park, while paddlers and hikers find glassy backwaters and sandhills at Dunns Creek State Park. To the west, Etoniah Creek State Forest delivers miles of multiuse trails and excellent birding, and the nearby Rice Creek Conservation Area showcases classic cypress swamps and a photogenic boardwalk. Anglers prize the St. Johns River for largemouth bass and crappie, and boaters appreciate the area’s convenient launches and quiet coves.
Families benefit from a strong public education network through the local public school district, and lifelong learners can pursue certificates and degrees at St. Johns River State College. For peace of mind, regional care is available at HCA Florida Putnam Hospital, and seasonal festivals, farmers markets, and youth sports add to the community rhythm.
