Wild, serene and beautiful, the Princess Place is the crown jewel in Flagler County’s setting of parks. Home to nesting bald eagles and situated on a knoll overlooking the confluence of Pellicer Creek and the Intracoastal Waterway, the estate was once home to a Russian Prince. It was built as a hunting lodge in 1886 by Henry Cutting and is the oldest standing structure in the county. After his death Cutting’s wife, Angela, married Boris Sherbatof a Prince in the Russian royal family and she became known as the Princess.

Today, Princess Place Preserve with its rich history and 1500 pristine acres, attracts nature enthusiasts from near and far.
