Spring Ridge blends quiet, wooded living with easy access to clear-water springs and regional amenities. Set along State Road 26 in Gilchrist County, the community draws residents who value room to breathe, river views, and an unhurried pace, while staying within an easy drive of Gainesville for work, healthcare, and entertainment.
Weekends revolve around the Santa Fe River. Locals paddle crystalline runs at the Ruth B. Kirby Gilchrist Blue Springs State Park, spread out under the oaks at Poe Springs Park, or go tubing and cave diving at Ginnie Springs. Wildlife watchers find turtles, otters, and migrating birds along shaded banks, and anglers appreciate year-round opportunities.
Families are served by the Gilchrist County School District, known for its close-knit campuses and strong community involvement. For higher education and a major employment base, the University of Florida and Santa Fe College anchor a robust job market, cultural calendar, and medical network just down the road. With modest property sizes, starry-night skies, and recreation that starts at your doorstep, Spring Ridge makes it easy to slow the tempo without losing connection to what matters.
