Planning Your Outdoor Fireplace for a Nocatee Home

Start with your neighborhood's guidelines. Each Nocatee neighborhood has its own review, so we check yours before we sketch an outdoor fireplace.
Work from the builder lanai. Most Nocatee homes started with a standard lanai or slab, so we plan an outdoor fireplace to tie in cleanly and look original to the house.
Fit the lot. Nocatee lots are efficient, so we keep an outdoor fireplace inside the setbacks and think about the neighbors' view, too.
Plan the whole backyard. Pavers, lighting, fans and shade are designed together in AutoCAD, so everything works as one space.

Fans cool people, not rooms: the breeze creates a wind-chill effect, according to ENERGY STAR.

Outdoor Fireplaces in Nocatee: What's Different

Outdoor fireplaces in Nocatee. Our Nocatee fireplaces include a stone fireplace inside a screened A-frame gazebo in Cypress Trails and a linear fireplace under a grand cedar gazebo in Del Webb Nocatee.

Permits. Most of Nocatee is in St. Johns County, which issues the building permit, usually after a clearance sheet, and automatically notifies registered architectural review associations. Duval-side neighborhoods such as Brookwood are permitted by the City of Jacksonville. A Notice of Commencement is required for most permitted projects. See our St. Johns County permit guide.

The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to November 30, with the peak around September 10, according to NOAA.

Our Work in Nocatee

Screened A-frame gazebo with stone fireplace on a raised patio, Cypress Trails (Nocatee) A screened A-frame cedar gazebo that ties into the home's existing A-frame lanai so cleanly it looks original to the house. Because the yard drops off sharply, the patio is built up on a raised wall-block base. Inside, exposed rafters give it a cabin feel over a tongue-and-groove ceiling with lights and a ceiling fan, and the focal point is a gas fireplace clad in hand-laid stone with a raised hearth, a stone mantel and a TV above. The same pavers and ceiling finish continue across the existing lanai so the old and new spaces read as one.

Grand cedar gazebo with linear fireplace and two outdoor kitchens, Del Webb Nocatee An expansive A-frame cedar gazebo tied into the house, with custom columns to match the home and custom shutters, inside a screen enclosure with our expanded-view upgrade. Outside, a linear gas fireplace and a cedar privacy wall frame two outdoor kitchens with granite counters.
