More than 165 realtors recently attended the Tapas & Tours progressive luncheon and model home tour at Beacon Lake.
Tapas & Tours guests mingled and enjoyed gourmet fare as they toured the community’s five furnished and decorated model homes showcasing the latest in-home design trends. Guests enjoyed giveaways and prize drawings. Following Tapas & Tours, organizers donated the event’s remaining food to two groups of first responders.
“We are thrilled so many agents could join us for our special event and we appreciate the positive response we received from our guests,” said Bruce J. Parker, managing director for BBX Capital Real Estate, Beacon Lake’s master developer. “Everyone loves our builders’ award-winning home designs and our welcoming neighborhood environment. Beacon Lake is quickly taking shape and we are excited about the opening of the community’s on-site amenities in the near future.”
The new master-planned community in St. Johns County offers a lakefront lifestyle and family-friendly amenities. At Beacon Lake, Dream Finders Homes and Mattamy Homes are building coastal-inspired homes featuring welcoming front porches and open floor plans.
Slated for completion and grand opening in early 2019, the 8,200-square-foot Lake House Amenity and Fitness Center will be the heart of Beacon Lake and home to fun and fitness. Anchored by a 43-acre paddle-friendly lake and nestled within 358 acres of nature preserve, Beacon Lake’s nautically themed gathering place will provide opportunities for indoor and outdoor recreation — and relaxation — for every member of the family.
Residents will be able to cool off at the Splash Park, fun pool, junior Olympic swimming pool or lakeside sand beach. They can also launch a paddleboard, kayak or canoe, and lift weights, practice yoga or complete a cardio circuit in the fitness center.
Residents can learn how to cook something new in the Culinary Studio and Demonstration kitchen, which is also available for catered events in the social room, or hit the tennis courts, kick around a soccer ball or play catch on the multipurpose playing field. The dockside Crew House will provide kayak, canoe and paddleboard storage, and the dog park will offer Beacon Lake’s furry residents and their owners a place to exercise, socialize and play. Other amenities include a neighborhood park, multipurpose paths for walking, jogging and bicycling and more.
In Beacon Lake’s Phase 1, Dream Finders Homes and Mattamy Homes are offering home designs ranging in size from 1,600 square feet to more than 3,500 square feet, and priced from the mid-$200,000s to $500,000s. Dream Finders is building on 43- and 63-foot-wide homesites, and Mattamy Homes is building on 53- and 73-foot-wide homesites.
Located on the south side of County Road 210 between U.S. Route 1 and Interstate 95, Beacon Lake is near shopping, dining, employment centers and area beaches. For more information about Beacon Lake, visit www.BeaconLake.com.
