About Kristen

With roots deeply planted in Gainesville, Kristen Rabell has dedicated her professional life to building a real estate legacy driven by integrity, vision, and community. A fourth-generation REALTOR® and Broker, she entered the industry in 2006 and now leads Rabell Realty Group into its next era with hands-on mentorship, marketing innovation, and hyper-local expertise.

Before real estate, Kristen worked as a photojournalist across Western Europe and Latin America and later taught English and writing in Puerto Rico—experiences that sharpened her communication, empathy, and adaptability. A marathoner and leukemia survivor, she believes success is built in the margins: small, consistent steps that compound over time.

Since 2016, as Broker/Owner, Kristen has grown Rabell into a community of empowered agents. She mentors through mastermind sessions, strategy training, and collaborative marketing so every agent has both the tools and the mindset to compete at the highest level.

3 Beds ⋅ 4 Baths ⋅ Heron Landing SubDv. ⋅ 32643 Zip Code
Under Construction. Welcome to the Kensington, a brand-new farmhouse-style home on 1.02 acres in Heron Landing, with completion in October for the Fall Parade of Homes. Offering 3 BR/3.5 BA and thoughtfully designed living, this custom-spec home combines the finishes and craftsmanship with the space, privacy and relaxed lifestyle that make High Springs one of North Central Florida's most distinctive places to call home. From the moment you step inside, the home is designed to feel open, bright and substantial. A dedicated flex room at the entry creates space for working from home, a library or additional living area, while the heart of the home opens into an impressive gourmet kitchen, dining area and great room filled with natural light. The kitchen is designed to be both beautiful and highly functional, featuring an expansive island for gathering and entertaining, quartz countertops, wood cabinetry and a large pantry. Whether it's a quiet dinner at home or a house full of friends, the open layout keeps the kitchen connected to the dining and living spaces. The split-bedroom design provides exceptional privacy. The owner's suite becomes a true retreat with a private bath, linen and additional storage closets, a separate water closet, and an oversized walk-in closet designed with generous space. Enter through the side-entry garage into a generous drop zone with additional storage, followed by a large laundry room with extra counter space. The home's layout provides the storage, organization and functionality, while the 1.02-acre gives you room to breathe beyond the walls of the house. Heron Landing is a small community tucked into the heart of High Springs, offering streetlights and a private HOA-maintained walking trail while keeping you just blocks from the historic downtown. Spend an evening walking downtown for locally owned restaurants, shops and community activities, then return home to the quieter setting of your acre homesite. Some of the most extraordinary natural recreation is close to home. High Springs is surrounded by the Santa Fe River and freshwater springs, putting swimming, tubing, kayaking, canoeing, snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking and wildlife viewing within easy reach. Nearby destinations include Gilchrist Blue Springs, Ginnie Springs, Poe Springs, Ichetucknee Springs, O'Leno State Park and River Rise Preserve. The location also makes High Springs an appealing alternative for buyers who want more land and a small-town setting without giving up access to larger employment and activity centers. Gainesville and the University of Florida, UF Health, and the growing Alachua/San Felasco technology and biotechnology corridor are easily accessible, while I-75 provides a convenient connection to Lake City and beyond. Head west when you're ready for a day trip toward Florida's Gulf Coast and the relaxed communities and outdoor destinations that make this part of the state so unique. If you've been searching for a new construction home in High Springs or a luxury home on acreage near Gainesville, the Kensington at Heron Landing offers a rare opportunity to have all of it in one place: new construction, beautiful finishes, more than an acre, a thoughtfully designed floor plan, small-community living, a walkable downtown nearby and some of Florida's most remarkable natural resources just beyond your doorstep.
