Lake Weir Preserve sits out in central Florida, right near Lake Weir, where there's plenty of woodlands and you'll find homes tucked among big oak and pine trees and all sorts of nature, which a lot of folks seem to like, especially those folks looking for peace and quiet. The community is made for active adults, so you'll find neighbors who like things like boating, fishing, and joining in on some waterfront dining down by the lake, though there aren't all those strict rules you see elsewhere since there's no HOA, no CDD, and no bond fees in this place, which is a relief to people tired of extra costs. The whole plan's laid out for 300 homes spread over more than 400 acres, with houses set on lots from about a quarter-acre up to a full acre, so there's plenty of space if you want a yard or maybe to put in a pool.
Now, the people that seem to like Lake Weir Preserve are often RVers and folks with big "toys," since many of the homes either have built-in, enclosed RV garages or roomy open pads for parking all sorts of rigs, and some of those garages hold two to four cars or even more if you choose a design with a den or office. There're over 40 floor plan choices, so there's a lot you can pick from including two, three, or four bedroom homes, and there are models with names like Luray, Weston, Iris, Horizon, Trillium, Tuscan, South Haven, Sunset Harbor, and Merriweather, which helps folks remember them. Homes are new, they start around the mid-$200,000s, and there's a version set up for RVs that starts lower in the $500,000s, depending on what builders are offering, and builders themselves are independent and not tied to the developer, SSSI, who manages the community and owns it through Silver Springs Shores Investments, LLC.
The lifestyle there's meant to be pretty worry-free, with no big crowds, no busy roads, since it's a private site plan, and folks spend time outdoors or relaxing with neighbors, or hanging onto their hobbies, and the place even calls itself America's Toy-Friendly Community on account of the way lots of folks keep their boats, RVs, or whatever other big toys they might have while still living in a peaceful, natural spot. There's a photo gallery online so you can see what the homes and lots actually look like, and there's an option to schedule a tour if someone wants to check it out in person, and they've put together maps and details about the area including things to do and stories from around the community, but the best way to see Lake Weir Preserve's to visit and get a sense for the open space, the quiet woods, and the feeling that comes from not being boxed in by rules or extra fees.
