The Allure of Astor Creek: A Golfer's Dream Come True
Nestled on Florida's Treasure Coast, Astor Creek isn't just another subdivision—it's a semi-private haven designed for those who crave elegance without the elitism. The star attraction? An 18-hole championship golf course crafted by renowned architect Christopher Wilczynski, blending challenge with serene playability. Picture a 15-acre grass driving range, a massive 15,000 sq. ft. practice putting green, and a 3-acre short game complex. Whether you're a pro or a weekend warrior, PGA-led lessons, clinics, and events like "Play with the Pro Fridays" keep things exciting.
But it's not all about golf. The modern clubhouse offers casual and fine dining, a sports bar, resort-style pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, and courts for pickleball and tennis. Social butterflies will love the wine dinners, holiday celebrations, and member-exclusive perks. And with year-round Florida sunshine, you can enjoy it all without seasonal shutdowns. Public play is available, but memberships unlock full access to this relaxed, manicured lifestyle—perfect for retirees, families, or anyone seeking tranquility.
Stunning New Homes by Kolter Homes and Taylor Morrison: Luxury Without the Markup
What sets Astor Creek apart is the collaboration with top builders Kolter Homes and Taylor Morrison, delivering high-end residences that scream value. These aren't cookie-cutter houses; they're spacious, open-concept masterpieces built around scenic views and community vibes.
Taylor Morrison's lineup focuses on single-story ease, with homes ranging from 1,886 to 3,145 sq. ft. Expect 2-4 bedrooms, 2-3.5 baths, and 2-3 car garages. Prices kick off at $514,900 for models like the Lazio (2,435 sq. ft. with flexible spaces) or Pallazio (up to 3,145 sq. ft.). Features include paver driveways, automatic irrigation, storm protection, and professionally landscaped yards—ready for you to move in and unwind. Quick-move-in options go up to $1.2 million, but with savings like $59,300 on select lots, deals are plentiful.
Kolter Homes takes it up a notch with collections like Cassidy, Hudson, Madison, and Thompson. Starting at $572,990, these homes span 1,968 to 4,222 sq. ft. (total up to 5,814 sq. ft.), offering 2-6 bedrooms, flex rooms, great rooms, and split garages for ultimate flexibility. Standouts include the Jordan (2,732 sq. ft. for $572,990) or the lavish Zara (5,814 sq. ft. for $1,075,990).
