Site Construction of High-End DeBary Community’s Last Phase Is Complete and Ready for Buyers

DEBARY – Now in its ninth and final phase, Riviera Bella – The Henin Group’s upscale, single-family home development along the St. Johns River – is preparing to welcome its last group of new families.

According to The Henin Group’s president and CEO Jerome Henin, site construction just off Fort Florida Road near Lake Konomac, was completed by Jon M. Hall Construction of Sanford and the 153 homesites were sold to Dallas-based D.R. Horton.

“The builder has closed on their first 36 homesites and construction is now underway,” Henin said, adding that all of the remaining sites should close by the end of next year.

D.R. Horton is offering three-, four- and five-bedroom homes ranging in size from 1,672 to 2,807 square feet and priced starting in the mid-$300,000s.

With an anticipated sell-out by 2022, Henin said the development – which started in 2004 – is more than two years ahead of projection.

“The opening of phase nine marks the completion of the entire 710-homesite community.”

Dream Finders Homes to Open New St. Cloud Community in December

ST. CLOUD – Dream Finders Homes plans to open Prairie Oaks, its newest central Florida single-family home community, in December.

Located in St. Cloud just off Narcoossee Road and east of Lake Tohopekaliga, the development will feature some the company’s most-popular plans, as well as two new ones specific to the community, according to Gerry Boeneman, president of Dream Finders Homes’ Central Florida division.

“Buyers at Prairie Oaks can choose from a handful of floor plans on 50-foot lots,” he said, adding that three to six-bedroom homes there will range in size from 1,856 to nearly 3,000 square feet of living area.

Boeneman said because of its location near major roadways like State Roads 417 and 528, U.S. Highway 192 and the Florida Turnpike, Prairie Oaks is a quick commute to Lake Nona and its many conveniences as well as other Central Florida areas and attractions.

Paired with the community’s fantastic location, the homes’ designer series of floorplans offer open spaces with a natural flow. Modern interior finishes include nine-foot ceilings throughout, 42-inch upper cabinets with crown molding, while partial stone exteriors lend a classic look.

Developer Wants to Grow Brooksville’s Southern Pines Condominium Plan into a Single-Family Home Community

The Company Wants To Rezone the Development and Decrease the Original Number of Condos Planned

BROOKSVILLE – DIX Developments is seeking rezoning of property at Southern Pines to single-family, and has requested an amendment to Hernando County’s master plan that would add 169 single-family homes to the existing 32 condominiums.

The gated 37-acre Southern Pines community currently has 32 completed condominium units in two buildings, and a 7,000-square-foot clubhouse with indoor and outdoor pools, according to James Dicks, president of DIX Development LLC. He said the rezoning would decrease the original plan by 55 dwelling units.

“We’ve spent the past four months reviewing the feasibility of the existing project,” Dicks said. “Brooksville is a great market right now with interest that’s growing every day. We believe that creating a single-family community will generate value for all businesses and residents in the area.”

Dicks, who named CPH as the civil engineering firm in charge of the plan, said the project will create many jobs and subcontractor opportunities while boosting the local economy.

“Now that we own the property, we will ask for an amendment to the existing planned development. We’re excited and look forward to delivering a value-added project to this area.”
