After a Sale of one Luxury Model, Bellagio Custom Homes Makes Plans for New Luxury Palm Coast Model

PALM COAST – Only two months after completing the 3,490-square-foot Florenza II luxury model home in the Wild Oaks estate community of Grand Haven, Bellagio Custom Homes has sold the home with a leaseback and is making plans for a new luxury model in Palm Coast. The company is currently planning the location of its next model and expects to break ground later this year.

Completed this summer at 212 Willow Oak Way, the four-bedroom, four-bath Florenza II – which recently sold for $742,000 – is situated on a nearly half-acre lakefront lot with a breathtaking pool and spa, according to Michael Sawdai, who serves as vice president for Bellagio.
