Now that Lakewood Ranch master-planned community has been thoroughly developed, home builders are acquiring the surrounding plots of land to develop exciting new projects such as The Enclave at Country Meadows in Bradenton.

Award-winning home builder Medallion Home is the developer behind The Enclave, an exclusive collection of just 68 homes. Although Medallion Home is inspired by the eco-friendly construction and focus on quality of life at Lakewood Ranch, the architectural style is clearly a departure from the Mediterranean revival that is so predominant across Southwest Florida. The homes at The Enclave tend to be larger than Country Meadows, and the floor plans are inspired by the residential architecture of the Caribbean.

The Enclave at Country Meadows is clearly for house hunters who are ready to purchase luxurious homes built on larger lots. The Aruba floor plan is the coziest offered by Medallion Home at The Enclave, and it features a living area of 2,395 square feet, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a three-car garage, a formal dining room, and a breakfast nook. The most spectacular floor plan is the Grand Santa Maria, which offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a bonus suite, and two garages built on 3,252 square feet of living space.

Depending on the level of customization and the extras desired, pricing at The Enclave starts around $320K. Finished homes with four bedrooms and all the extras may be listed for $480K. Considering the level of quality construction, the location and the lavish landscaping of The Enclave, current prices are very reasonable.

The Enclave is less than 15 minutes away from Main Street at Lakewood Ranch. Moreover, a local shopping center is only a couple of miles away, and driving to Downtown Bradenton only takes about 30 minutes.
