Welcome to Wildlight

A town in nature  

How do you describe a community that has so much to do, it’s become a destination in its own right? Wildlight calls it “a town in nature.” Where walkability and wellness make everyday life feel healthier, easier and more connected — whether you’re strolling to the supermarket or salon, taking a class at the Wildlight YMCA or scheduling appointments at UF Health, all right in the community. As for the nature part? You’ll find it in the 12+ miles of trailways weaving through the neighborhoods. The acres of preserved wetlands. And soon, access to the bluffs along the St. Marys River.

A place to call home 

Wildlight offers multiple neighborhoods, each with a variety of single-family homes and townhomes. Of these, one is exclusive to 55+ active adults. Del Webb Wildlight is a gated 55+ enclave of thoughtfully designed single-story homes — all featuring luxurious details like chef-inspired kitchens, upgraded finishes and covered lanais. It’s the perfect spot for those who want to live close to Wildlight’s Village Center (or near family in the community’s other neighborhoods), while enjoying exclusive resident-only amenities. The hub of it all is the Horizon Club, where every day feels like a staycation, thanks to a resort-style pool (including lap lanes), pickleball courts, craft room, fitness and movement studio, dog park and more — there’s even an onsite restaurant. (“This is the life” might be a phrase you find yourself using frequently.)

An ideal location

Located in northeast Florida, Wildlight sits halfway between Amelia Island and Jacksonville — both under 30 minutes in either direction. Which means a day at the beach, a sporting event or the golf course is an easy drive. Making your schedule a question of “where to go” instead of “how to get there.”

A “try it first” opportunity

Relocating — or just moving in general — is a big decision. That’s why the Experience Del Webb program lets you try life in the neighborhood before making the leap. Spend three days and two nights in a beautifully furnished Del Webb Wildlight home. Get a guided tour of the homes and community. Then spend the rest of your time at Horizon Club, in the parks, on the trailways and pickleball courts, or at the Village Center.

Clean lines, natural materials, and curated finishes create a quiet elegance that elevates daily living. Each home is based on plans that maintain community cohesion while giving homeowners room to customize and create a space that feels truly their own.

Unlike typical subdivisions, the streetscapes at Echelon are curated to feel both cohesive and calming. Thoughtful landscaping, balanced setbacks, and uniform design principles create an environment that feels considered and complete.

3. A Community That Prioritizes Connection and Calm

Echelon is designed to foster natural social interaction without compromising privacy. Welcoming front porches, walkable streets, and shared green spaces encourage moments of connection—impromptu chats, shared sunsets, neighborhood gatherings. Yet, every home is also a sanctuary, with layouts and private yards that offer serenity when you need it.

This duality—connection and calm—is what makes the lifestyle at Echelon truly special. It’s a place where neighbors become friends, and solitude is always within reach.

4. Effortless, Low-Maintenance Living

For many, Echelon offers a lock-and-leave lifestyle without sacrificing beauty or comfort. Whether you’re a full-time resident or someone seeking a secondary retreat, homes here are designed for ease. The architecture and landscaping are low-maintenance by design, supporting a lifestyle filled with freedom and flexibility.

This ease doesn’t mean sacrificing quality. On the contrary, every material, fixture, and finish is selected for its durability and aesthetic integrity—creating spaces that feel luxurious, live comfortably, and age beautifully.

5. A Future-Ready Investment

Bentonville is on a dynamic upward trajectory, and Echelon is poised to rise with it. The city’s expansion as a hub for innovation, culture, and the arts makes homeownership here more than just a lifestyle decision—it’s a strategic investment. As the region grows, Echelon stands out as a community that values legacy, quality, and vision.
