The ground
Flat pine-flatwoods soil with a hardpan layer that perches water after heavy rain.
The water
No waterfront, but poor natural drainage that makes pad elevation and swale work the first line item on any build.

Modest older frame houses and metal agricultural buildings on generous lots.
The rules
Permits run through Town of Baldwin and City of Jacksonville, and Town of Baldwin has its own municipal government though it sits inside Duval County, so jurisdiction gets confirmed before anything else.
