NewField in Martin County: A Sustainable New Way of Living in Palm City
In the heart of Palm City, Florida, something extraordinary is taking shape: NewField in Martin County. This isn’t just another housing development, it’s a reimagined way of living, blending new construction homes with agriculture, conservation, and community spirit. Built by Mattamy Homes, North America’s largest privately owned homebuilder, NewField is Florida’s first Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) in over 100 years.
Instead of endless rows of houses cut off from nature, NewField was designed to put farms, trails, parks, and gathering spaces at the heart of everyday life. Imagine living in a place where your morning jog winds through open pastures, your kids bike safely to school, and fresh vegetables are harvested right down the street. That’s the promise of NewField.
NewField sits on more than 4,000 acres in Palm City, Martin County, nestled between I-95 and Florida’s Turnpike. It offers the perfect balance: tucked away in a serene setting, yet only minutes from downtown Stuart, top-rated Martin County schools, and the sparkling beaches of Florida’s Treasure Coast.
For commuters, the location is ideal: West Palm Beach is under an hour away, and Miami is just a two-hour drive. Whether you work locally or need access to bigger cities, NewField’s spot in Palm City makes life convenient while keeping the tranquility intact.
At the center of NewField’s design is the 170-acre NewField Farm; a working, sustainable farm that doubles as a community gathering place. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy fresh produce, attend farm-to-table events, and participate in hands-on workshops.
But the farm is only part of the story. Over 70% of NewField’s land is preserved as open green space. That means wetlands, forests, pastures, and conservation areas are safeguarded for generations to come. The Kiplinger Conservancy, a 450-acre nature preserve, provides habitat for wildlife and is Martin County’s first-ever gopher tortoise preserve.
For those who love the outdoors, NewField delivers more than 15 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, weaving through farms, woodlands, and parks.
The first residential neighborhood, Rosette Park, broke ground in 2024. Here, Mattamy Homes offers a wide range of floorplans to meet the needs of families, empty nesters, and everyone in between. Options include:
Townhomes: Perfect for couples or small families
Twin Villas: Single-level living with modern finishes
Single-Family Homes: Ranging from ~1,900 to over 4,000 sq. ft., with flexible floorplans, open living spaces, and 2–3 car garages
Prices start in the mid-$400,000s, giving buyers competitive entry into Palm City’s market while offering long-term value thanks to NewField’s sustainability and thoughtful design.
Lot sizes and layouts are carefully planned to keep every home within 600 feet of a park, green space, or trail—so no matter where you live, nature is just steps away.
NewField isn’t just about homes, it’s about lifestyle. The Town Center will become the social and commercial hub, with shops, restaurants, and services in a walkable setting.
Residents can also enjoy:
Citrus House: A wellness-focused clubhouse with a yoga lawn, Pilates studio, pickleball courts, fitness center, and resort-style pool
Lake House: A more intimate gathering place for events, card games, and lakeside relaxation
Sports Fields & Central Park: Wide open spaces for recreation, gatherings, and community fun
Events Calendar: From “Mini Farm Days” to community trail cleanups, life here is enriched by a steady stream of activities that bring neighbors together
It’s this mix of design and lifestyle programming that makes NewField feel less like a development, and more like a true hometown.
Families moving to NewField will appreciate the area’s top-rated Martin County schools, consistently ranked among the best in Florida. Healthcare is also close at hand, with Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital just a short drive away. Combined with nearby shopping, dining, and entertainment in Stuart, the community provides everything you need without straying far from home.
NewField in Martin County is more than a neighborhood, it’s a vision for the future. By weaving together homes, farms, conservation land, and vibrant community spaces, Mattamy Homes has created a place that reflects what today’s buyers truly want: balance, sustainability, and connection.
For those looking to plant roots in Palm City, NewField offers an exciting chance to live where modern life and nature work hand in hand.
