The Northeast Florida Builders Association’s Sales and Marketing Council recently honored BBX Capital Real Estate with a Laurel Award for Best Realtor Promotional Event at Beacon Lake, a lakefront lifestyle master-planned community in northern St. Johns County. Tapas and Tours, a progressive luncheon and model tour that welcomed 175 realtors to the community, was highlighted.
“We are honored to receive this recognition for our successful Tapas & Tours progressive luncheon and model tour,” said Bruce J. Parker, managing director for BBX Capital Real Estate, Beacon Lake’s master developer. “Beacon Lake offers a welcoming neighborhood environment that makes our community stand apart from the rest. We appreciate the accolades from our industry peers, and we hope it will encourage everyone to visit our community and learn more about living at Beacon Lake.”
Beacon Lake offers coastal-inspired home designs, a lakefront setting with a nautically themed Lake House Amenity and Fitness Center and a family-friendly neighborhood with pocket parks and stop-a-whiles for enjoying the community’s natural surroundings. The community’s builders, Dream Finders Homes and Mattamy Homes, are building coastal-inspired homes featuring welcoming front porches and open floor plans.
During Tapas & Tours, guests mingled and ate gourmet fare as they toured the community’s five furnished and decorated model homes, showcasing the latest in-home design trends. Each of the community’s models featured a gourmet meal and a different give-away prize, which kept a steady flow of guests moving from model home to model home throughout the event.
Many of the realtors that attended Tapas & Tours have returned to Beacon Lake to see the progress on the community’s 8,200-square-foot Lake House Amenity and Fitness Center. The Lake House will be the heart of Beacon Lake and provide plentiful opportunities for indoor and outdoor recreation and relaxation for every member of the family.
Anchored by a 43-acre paddle-friendly lake and nestled within 358 acres of nature preserve, Beacon Lake’s amenities make it unique. Residents can cool off at the Splash Park, fun pool, junior Olympic swimming pool or lakeside sand beach. They can also launch a kayak or canoe and explore the peaceful, natural beauty of Beacon Lake.
The Lake House will include a state-of-the-art fitness center with cardio and strength training equipment, free weights, spin bikes and a fitness studio. The Culinary Studio and Demonstration Kitchen in the social room will be available for catered events and will provide cooking classes and chef demonstrations. Other amenities include the tennis courts, multipurpose playing field and the dockside Crew House that provides kayak and canoe rentals. A dog park will offer Beacon Lake’s furry residents and their owners a place to exercise, socialize and play. There will also be a neighborhood park for children.
Beacon Lake is within the St. Johns County Public School District and zoned for A-rated schools, including Ocean Palms Elementary School, Alice B. Landrum Middle School and Allen D. Nease High School for the 2018-2019 school year.
In Beacon Lake’s Phase 1, Dream Finders Homes and Mattamy Homes offer single-family home designs ranging in size from 1,600 square feet to more than 3,500 square feet, and are priced from the mid-$200,000s to $500,000s. Five decorated model homes are open for tours.
