River Country Estates
River Country Estates is a scenic community on the Nature Coast beside the Weeki Wachee River and State Park. The neighborhood features over 480 large parcel properties. Businesses are located at the entrance.
A private park at the south end of the community has a children’s play area, a bird sanctuary lake, basketball and pickleball courts, a refurbished baseball diamond, mature trees, and a gazebo for relaxing in nature.
The RCEOA is run by a Board of Directors, a resident, volunteer-led community governance organization, serving the residents of the River Country Estates Owners Association.
Our mission focuses on promoting active resident engagement while upholding the community standards that make River Country Estates a premier place to live. Through transparent communication and organized management of news, events, and essential documents, we ensure every resident stays informed and involved. Our governing documents provide the framework for maintaining standards, resolving issues, and preserving our community’s long-term value.

Park Beautification Committee
The Board has made the park a top priority. Many dead plants, sections of fallen fencing, and other debris have already been cleared away. Cost estimates for repairing the park walkway have been submitted to the MSBU to keep this popular feature safe and accessible. The Board is also maintaining ongoing communication with the Pickleball Court installers to address surface issues.
To better protect community property, scheduled trimming of trees along the fenceline will help reduce the risk of damage during severe storms, thereby safeguarding parked vehicles, the fence, and nearby areas.
Work is underway to restore the baseball diamond, and the remaining section of the dock will also be replaced.
Volunteers to this committee can help with actual work, or regularly inspect the park for any concerns or interesting findings. The committee will report monthly (or more often if necessary) to the Board. The Board can then act on issues or communicate to residents sightings, activities, etc.
If you are interested in joining, please email the office at rivercountry79@gmail.com.
