Sugarmill Woods, an exquisitely designed and imaginatively planned residential community is nested within this special gateway to Florida's Nature Coast of Citrus County. Whatever your interest . . . golf, fishing, boating or just a love of nature . . . here among the rare natural beauty you can build the custom home that most people only dream about. In Sugarmill Woods you'll find happiness and peace encompassed by green meadows, forests of pines, and moss-covered ancient oaks. Sugermill Woods is unique from other community areas in Florida. Instead of trying to adjust the land to fit a development plan, the environmentalists who designed Sugarmill Woods let the land tell them what to do.
None of the backyards face each other which resulted in the first residential community in America to apply the "Greenbelt Concept". Every home overlooks a natural wildlife corridor or a beautiful golf course.
