Holly Hill Community in Ormond Beach, FL

Holly Hill sits midway between Ormond Beach, FL and Daytona Beach, a bit inland from the Halifax River and Atlantic. The city limits are entirely within the mainland, unlike Ormond and Daytona Beach, which include the barrier island (beach front) across the Halifax River. In the 2004 census, the population was 12,586. The town covers 3.79 sq miles landscaped with holly bushes, magnolias, palms, and oak trees. It is hammock land rising from 4 feet above sea level at the Halifax River bank to about 10 feet.

The city's advantages make it a highly desirable location, from an industrial as well as a residential point of view. Well paved and improved streets, a fully-automated water treatment plant in a new expandable public works complex, highly motivated police and fire protection forces, and a record of growth and progress with careful planning and strict zoning make Holly Hill a pleasant, peaceful place to live. The residents call it the "City with a Heart." There are social clubs, civic organizations, recreational programs, a modern library, and more than a dozen parks.

There's a great history of Holly Hill in Wikipedia. I pick it up here, "A big event in the lives of the settlers was when the first train came through from Jacksonville to Daytona in 1887, eleven years after the Wetherell's arrival. Nothing like the trains of today, but an important welcome link connecting Daytona area with the outside world.

"In the early 1880s, as other settlers arrived Holly Hill's name began to gain in popularity. The settlement now had a church, school, post office, general store, sawmill and many homes. The slowly developing village had a population of about fifty, which did not significantly increase in the next several years."

And from the Volusia County site, "Holly Hill was so named by William Flemming in 1877 when he built a home on the 4000 acres he owned along the Halifax River. Situated south of Ormond Beach and north of a recent settlement called Daytona, his fellow settlers agreed and the name stuck. With the establishment of a post office, a general store and a school, the little community quietly grew to about 50 souls by the end of the century. In 1901, by a vote of 31 people, it incorporated.

"Holly Hill is an important slice of the riverside development with a blend of commercial and quiet residential areas. Holly Hill is said to be the locale of Bill McCoy's rum-running business. His pride in his product led him to putting his name on every case, and pretty soon the whole country was looking for the 'Real McCoy.'"

I have a new listing in Holly Hill, a single family attached home on 1024 Grand Hickory Circle, 2 bedrooms/2 baths, 1382 SF interior plus a large, 10 X 28 screened patio, 1-car garage, in the Great Oaks neighborhood, reduced to $115,000. Contact me for a private preview, and real estate market statistics in Holly Hill. This is a great price for a spacious home built in 2004!

Melrose of Ormond Beach, FL

As a realtor, sometimes I run across a community which is so perfectly suited to its surroundings, so livable, that it occupies a special place in your mind when foks ask about relocation to the Daytona Beach area.

Melrose of Ormond Beach is one of my special places. Bordering the Halifax River, Melrose offers waterfront - riverfront homes - in the price range of the high $800,000s to well over a million. The homes are gracious residences with large lots and access to the river, some with boat docks, most with views across the Halifax to Oceanside. The community was designed, or has become, water-oriented, so homeowners who buy there want to enjoy Ormond Beach waterfront real estate. If you don't have a boat, you can watch the yachts motor by, watch the play of sun on water, or rise to gorgeous sunrises.

Across E. Granada Blvd, a main street of Melrose, is the Oceanside Country Club. From the club's home page: "The Oceanside experience is casual elegance through friendly service, quality food and spirits, challenging golf and tennis, or just relaxing by the pool. Located in Ormond Beach, nestled between the Halifax River and the ocean, this private club is unique in location and style." The original golf course was designed by P. F. Seabloom in 1907 and has recently been renovated by Bobby Weed. There are 9 tennis courts, an oversized pool, restaurant, and many social events. Oceanside is home to SALLY, the Women’s South Atlantic Amateur Championship. The SALLY, which dates back to 1926, is usually held in January.

Not far from Melrose, toward the west, are the Tomoka Oaks Golf Club, and Nova Recreation Complex, 400 North Nova Road, with a sports complex, playground, and picnic tables.

Just a few blocks from Melrose, on the river, is River Front Park, 1 South Beach St, which features a fishing pier, bait shop and boat launch. And don't forget the fishing along with all the other recreational opportunities on the Halifax River!

Here are 2 homes for sale in Melrose of Ormond Beach, just a sample of the style and quality of the community. Set up your personal Ormond Beach MLS search for waterfront or riverfront homes, or just contact me and I'll do one for you.

546 S Beach is the quintessential plantation-style home of gracious southern living. The home is 4647 sq ft, but total living area is 7,156 sq ft. It fronts the river, with a pool, boat house and boat dock, and includes an in-law suite, irrigation well, veranda overlooking the water, and so much more, on a lot of 39,634 sq ft. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a large riverfront home in Ormond Beach. Listed at $999,000.


138 S Beach is a custom riverfront Ormond Beach home with every attention to detail. Built in 1993 by a commercial builder, the elegant home is 2858 sq ft, with a total living area of 4058 sq ft. It also fronts the Halifax River, has a detached workshop, irrigation well, 10' ceilings and tile floors throughout. There are guest quarters on the 2nd level with kitchenette, the lot is 20,800 sq ft, and includes riparian rights to the river. Listed at $895,000.

If these interest you, visit the Waterfront page on my web site for details on riverfront and oceanfront communities in the Daytona Beach area. Now is a great time to find bargain prices for these homes. There is only so much waterfront real estate in Florida, and the prices are the best in years. Think of living in Melrose on the Halifax River in Ormond Beach. If you see yourself in that lifestyle, call or email me and I can help you find a home in this special place.
