Welcome!
River Country Estates is a Deed Restricted, 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.
We have new office hours:
Tuesday: 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm Wednesday: 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Thursday: 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm Saturday: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Stop in and say "Hello" to our new Office Administrator, Caye!
