Background

A brief history

Waterstone is a newer master-planned community in Groveland, Florida, developed through a partnership between Taylor Morrison and Lennar Homes. The community was launched in 2024 and represents a modern approach to residential development in Lake County, blending new construction with community amenities and natural preservation. Spanning over 400 acres, Waterstone seamlessly integrates into Lake County's rolling terrain and natural landscape, featuring two pristine lakes—Cherry Lake and Lake Minneola—as key natural features.

The feel

What it's like to live here

Waterstone offers a modern, family-oriented lifestyle with a strong emphasis on outdoor living and community connection. The community features a resort-style pool, resort-style cabana, dog park, nature play space, and the nationally certified Monarch Butterfly Gardens—creating a vibrant social hub for residents. The architecture reflects contemporary homebuilding standards from Lennar and Taylor Morrison, with homes ranging from townhomes to spacious single-family detached homes, all designed with modern energy efficiency and quality finishes.

The natural setting is one of Waterstone's defining characteristics. Residents enjoy proximity to St. John's Nature Corridor, Cherry Lake, and Lake Minneola, providing abundant opportunities for fishing, nature walks, and outdoor recreation. The rolling Lake County topography gives the community a distinctive feel compared to flatter Orlando-area developments.

The details

What to expect

Architecture & Homes

Waterstone features new construction from two nationally recognized builders. Taylor Morrison offers 9 single-family models (Spruce, Maple, Cypress, Elm, Magnolia, Cottonwood, Azalea, Holly, and Sherwood) plus townhomes ranging from 1,404–1,558 square feet. Lennar provides the Estate Collection (1,555–2,583 sqft, priced $385K–$485K) and Manor Key Collection (1,429–2,992 sqft, priced $449K–$579K). Homes feature modern designs, 3–6 bedrooms, energy-efficient systems, and open floor plans typical of contemporary Florida residential architecture.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Waterstone residents enjoy exceptional community amenities including a resort-style pool, resort cabana, dog park, nature play space, and the Monarch Butterfly Gardens certified by the National Wildlife Federation. The 400-acre footprint includes natural landscaping, walking trails, and access to Cherry Lake and Lake Minneola. These amenities foster an active community lifestyle with strong family and pet-friendly focus.

Schools

Waterstone is served by the Lake County School District, which earned an A rating in 2025. Groveland Elementary School is the primary feeder elementary school for the community. The district operates 67 schools districtwide with strong academic performance and modern facilities. Proximity to quality schools makes Waterstone attractive for young families.

Location & Access

Located on Villa City Road in Groveland, Waterstone offers convenient highway access via US-27, State Road 50, State Road 19, and Florida's Turnpike. The community is approximately 35–40 minutes from downtown Orlando, 15–20 minutes from downtown Clermont, and provides easy access to Lake County's natural recreation areas. The Western Beltway proximity supports commuting flexibility across Central Florida.

Market Commentary

What the market is doing

I've seen strong interest in Waterstone from families and professionals relocating to Lake County. The community's pricing range—from $270K townhomes to $465K single-family homes—appeals to a broad market. New construction homes from Lennar and Taylor Morrison command a premium, typically $385K–$465K, but buyers value the builder warranties, modern designs, and community amenities. Resale homes in Waterstone move quickly because the community is relatively new, meaning lower maintenance costs and buyer confidence in construction quality. For sellers, positioning your home's builder backing and the community's premium amenities—especially the pool, dog park, and butterfly gardens—drives faster sales and stronger offers.
