Builder moves forward on a new luxury gated community

ESTERO — Pulte Homes, a higher-end, move-up buyer unit of national builder Pulte Group, is building a 59-home community in Southwest Florida featuring larger-than-normal open yards.

The private, gated community, in the Corkscrew corridor, is called Corkscrew Estates, according to a statement. It’s near other Pulte communities, including WildBlue, The Place at Corkscrew and Corkscrew Shores, the release adds, and Corkscrew Estates homesites are on nearly an acre.
