Amelia National Completes Construction of $185,000 Wall, Introduces Portfolio of 21 New Luxury Home Designs
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. --- Amelia National Golf & Country Club recently completed construction of a permanent wall along the concourse on the community’s southern boundary.
David Haas, chief development officer at ICI Homes and Amelia National, said the cost of construction was $185,000.
The Concourse wall is just part of the flurry of activity underway at Amelia National. The club has hosted several local charitable events and tournaments in the last several months. “We like to show off the property whenever we can,” said Haas. “Over the last three years, more than $2 million has been spent on maintenance, carry costs and improvements for the Amelia National community. Our solid long-term commitment to the project is beginning to yield some promising results.”
For example, Haas recently brought in a nationally respected, independent golf course consultant to do a top-down review of the Tom Fazio designed course and club operation. “We were very pleased that they gave us an excellent rating for maintenance and operations.”
Keeping Amelia National in the spotlight and in tip-top shape is paying off. “Sales activity at Amelia National is up year over year and we anticipate an even better 2013,” said Rosemary Messina, vice president of sales and marketing. “We recently launched a Discovery Tour program to focus on out of state homebuyers and bring them in to familiarize them with the property, the homes, the magnificent golf course and clubhouse. With five tours booked in the last six weeks, interest is high and that bodes well for the future,” she said.
“The Discovery Tour program was also timed to take advantage of the recent launch of a new portfolio of luxury custom home designs at Amelia National,” said Don Wilford, ICI Homes division president, who is responsible for the design and construction for ICI Homes in the north Florida area.
The design portfolio includes 21 new floor plans that can be fully customized and range in size from 2,321 square feet of living space to 4,050 square feet with three, four, five and six bedrooms and priced from $289,900 to $800,000.
“Amelia National is in the perfect position to benefit from an improving economy with luxury custom home sales,” said Haas. “We’re debt-free, and that puts us in a unique position in the market.”

Hometown Health TV in Leesburg, Fla. Named Outstanding Incubator Client at International Conference
Atlanta, Ga. / Leesburg, Fla. – Hometown Health TV LLC, a client company of the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program in Leesburg, Fla., received an international award at the National Business Incubation Association’s International Conference on Business Incubation.
The NBIA award – the 2012 Outstanding Incubator Client in the non-technology category – was presented to Hometown Health TV founder and media and marketing professional Marc Robertz-Schwartz at the NBIA’s recent conference in Atlanta. The company was selected from a field of applicants from across the globe.
“I don’t think any small business launches with this kind of recognition on its list of things to do; I think that’s what makes this recognition so humbling and gratifying. Three years ago I didn’t even know what an incubator was or how it could help me grow a successful business. Today – with the support of the UCF Business Incubation program, Lake County and the City of Leesburg – we’re being looked at as a model and, perhaps, an inspiration to other small businesses during a challenging economy,” Robertz-Schwartz said after receiving the prestigious award.
With more than 7,000 business incubators worldwide, the NBIA – the world's leading organization in advancing business incubation – estimates that in 2005 alone, North American incubators assisted more than 27,000 start-up companies that provided full-time employment for more than 100,000 workers and generated annual revenue of more than $17 billion, according to Linda Knopp, director of policy and analysis and research for the National Business Incubation Association.
“Business incubation programs like the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program catalyze the process of starting and growing companies by providing entrepreneurs with the expertise, networks and tools they need to make their ventures successful,” she said.
Hometown Health TV, a three-year-old Lake County health and medical-oriented TV production company, launched Hometown Health, with the goal of developing cost-effective video and web platforms for physicians and healthcare professionals so they could share their expertise on health issues with both existing and new patients watching the videos, according to Robertz-Schwartz.
The monthly, hour-long videos provide health and wellness information through a network of medical office waiting rooms, county health departments, local cable networks and the Internet. As market demand for its services expanded, Hometown Health TV created Apple Seed Marketing in 2011 to expand its multi award winning production and marketing expertise to clients outside the health-care field and to educate businesses and clients on the multiplatform marketing opportunities associated with quality video production.
James Spencer, site manager of the Leesburg incubator, said he isn’t surprised at the success of Hometown Health TV and its sister company Apple Seed Marketing.
“I’m very pleased that Marc has been recognized by the NBIA for all the hard work, long hours and focused energy he’s put into making Hometown Health TV and Apple Seed Marketing such successful companies. His unwavering commitment to creating value for his customers drives him to deliver award winning quality and results that consistently meet and exceed their expectations. I suspect this is just the beginning for Marc... I can’t wait to see what he does next!” Spencer said.
Dr. Tom O’Neal, founder of the UCF Business Incubation Program and NBIA board member, describes Robertz-Schwartz as a gifted entrepreneur who knows his market.
“It’s very rewarding for us to have one of our clients receive accolades for their achievements. Entrepreneurship can often seem like a lonely undertaking with little positive reinforcements for the effort it takes to not only survive, but grow. We should celebrate these entrepreneurs whenever we can,” said O’Neal

Stirling Sotheby's Int'l Realty closes cash sale of Windermere property to Brazilian buyer for $1.125 million
ORLANDO, Fla. --- Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty recently closed on the $1.125 million cash sale of a four bedroom, 4.5 bath luxury home overlooking Lake Robert at Waterford Pointe in Windermere.
Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty, said International Luxury Home Specialist Benjiman Hillman negotiated the sale on behalf of the seller, who lives in New Zealand.
The buyer, who currently lives in Brazil, made an offer on the property only 42 days after Hillman listed it. “I had the home staged by Show Homes and was still in the process of arranging professional photography and video when the buyer made contact,” said Hillman.
Hillman said the sale of the 7,344 square foot home took 72 days total from listing to closing the sale at over 95 percent of the list price.
