The site plan

The original village plan.

This is the community the site was designed and permitted around: lakeside, cottage and garden homes, parks and two clubhouses, all set on Lake Rachard and across from Lake June.

The roadbeds were rough-graded and the water and sewer lines were installed to this plan.

Amenities shown are planned, not built. Lots marked SOLD are not part of the offering.

The market opportunity

Why Lake Placid.

Lake Placid commands the highest new-home prices in Highlands County, about 25% more per square foot than Sebring, yet no production builder operates here. The demand is there. The supply is not, because no one has had anywhere to build.

Highlands County reached 111,122 people in July 2025, and Amazon opened a delivery station 1.5 miles from the site in November 2025.
