A new neighborhood broke ground in Star Farms that will make the community the largest within Lakewood Ranch, according to a statement from the developer.
The Saddlestone neighborhood will encompass 1,300 home sites on 570 acres, according to developer Forestar Group, a subsidiary of D.R. Horton. The first phase of 300 home sites is adjacent to Bourneside Boulevard and 44th Avenue East.
With the new addition of Saddlestone, Star Farms will span 2,800 lots and almost 1,300 acres.
“Star Farms could not have become the largest master-planned community within Lakewood Ranch without our featured builders, and we look forward to sharing our vision in more detail as our design progresses,” Forestar West Florida Region Vice President Tony Squitieri says in a statement.
Star Farms as a whole has been designed as a multigenerational community, with single-family homes, paired villas and townhomes among its offerings. Builders include D.R. Horton, AR Homes, Lee Wetherington Homes, John Cannon Homes and Homes by WestBay.
“Star Farms has become a favorite village in Lakewood Ranch thanks to its wide variety of home types, price points and exceptional amenities,” Sandy Shahinian, vice president of sales and marketing for Lakewood Ranch Communities, says in the statement. “We are thrilled to see this community continue to thrive with the introduction of additional phases, providing even more opportunities for buyers to make Star Farms at Lakewood Ranch their home.”
Lakewood Ranch is home to more than 72,000 residents within a master-planned community that spans more than 33,000 acres.
