PALM COAST – Bellagio Custom Homes is nearing completion on the framing of their Florenza II, a 3,490-square-foot luxury model in Wild Oaks, the estate section of Grand Haven, a master-planned community just north of State Road 100 and east of Interstate 95.
Bellagio is the luxury homebuilding affiliate of SeaGate Homes, a 17-year-old family-owned company that has been recognized as one of the nation’s largest homebuilders having completed more than 3,000 homes throughout Northeast and Central Florida. The relationship between the two companies offers homebuyers the experience and buying power of SeaGate Homes, as well as the elegance and grandeur of a custom-designed and built Bellagio home, according to Michael Sawdai, vice president of operations for both builders.
“In addition to providing our clients with exceptional customer care, we also offer ultra-competitive pricing that usually is not seen in custom homebuilding,” Sawdai said. “The hallmark of a Bellagio home is the quality standards and the Old-World craftsmanship that is built into each one.”
The company also offers a 15-year homebuyer’s warranty on all of its homes.
Unlike many traditional homebuilders, Sawdai said Bellagio offers as standards, a 14-SEER energy-efficient heating and cooling system; impact-rated windows with low-E coating; Kohler fixtures, upgraded KraftMaid cabinetry, solid-core doors and granite tops in kitchens and baths and much more.
“We can help the homebuyer in the design process by suggesting plans from our library or we can assist them in the design process to create their dream home,” he said.
“The Florenza II has a unique style all its own,” Sawdai said. “It is situated on a beautiful lake and will be offered with a builder lease-back. The Florenza II model is scheduled for completion this summer.

Heritage Hills in Clermont Reduces Prices for Villa Homes by $12,000 in Summer Blowout Sale
CLERMONT, Fla. --- Lennar has reduced pricing on Villa homes at Heritage Hills, the gated active adult community located on Heritage Hills Blvd. off Hartwood Marsh Road, east of U.S. 27 in Clermont.
Mark Metheny, president of the Central Florida Division of Lennar, said new villa homes at Heritage Hills are priced from $127,990.
“The price of the 1,400 square foot St. Lucia villa home has been reduced to $127,990,” Metheny said. The two-bedroom, two-bath St. Lucia also offers a one-car garage.
Sara K. Nakamine, who heads Active Adult Marketing for Lennar in Clermont, said visitor traffic at Heritage Hills has been heavy since Easter.
“This is unusual for the late spring,” she explained. “Typically, visitor traffic falls off dramatically after Easter, when winter visitors return to the north.
Nakamine said the surge in after Easter visits to the Welcome Home Center at Heritage Hills is probably the result of changing lifestyle patterns of active adults.
“The active adult market is changing and we’re already seeing the first wave,” Metheny said. “For the next 20 years or so an average of more than 1,500 Americans every day will celebrate their 65th birthday, he said.
“The U.S. economy is improving and active adults who put off retirement plans for the past five years are now entering the market in greater number than before,” Metheny said.
Lennar builds single family and villa homes at Heritage Hills priced from the $130s
Heritage Hills features an 18,890 square foot community clubhouse with a grand ballroom, swimming pool, fitness center, card and billiards rooms, aerobics studio, bocce ball courts, lighted tennis courts, social director, private vineyards and olive grove, fitness and biking trails, and golf simulator.
