The Reserve @ Lake Unity
12 Luxury Estate Lots, Exclusive & Private Waterfront Community
The Reserve at Lake Unity is an ultra-exclusive, private estate subdivision located in Fruitland Park, thoughtfully designed to offer just twelve expansive 4-acre custom homesites within a serene lake-oriented setting. Re-envisioned as a low-density luxury enclave, this private community emphasizes space, privacy, and intentional design rather than conventional subdivision density.
Select homesites within The Reserve will enjoy direct lakefront access or lake views overlooking Lake Unity, while others are positioned to provide elevated privacy, mature natural buffers, and expansive estate-scale settings. The carefully limited number of residences ensures a quiet, refined environment where custom architecture, landscaped grounds, and natural surroundings define the character of the community.
The Reserve offers a rare balance of seclusion and accessibility. Residents are minutes from local dining, boutique retail, and outdoor recreation, while remaining comfortably removed from congestion and overdevelopment. The surrounding Lake County market continues to experience strong growth and increasing demand for large-lot luxury properties, particularly those offering proximity to water, open space, and long-term privacy.
Planned for approval in 2026, The Reserve at Lake Unity represents a high-barrier-to-entry estate offering in Central Florida. With only twelve 4-acre custom homesites available and limited lakefront exposure, this private subdivision is designed for those who value land, discretion, and the enduring appeal of a thoughtfully curated estate community.

About Fruitland Park
Fruitland Park is a growing community centrally located in Lake County, offering residents a unique balance of small-town living and access to some of Central Florida’s strongest employment centers. Positioned just off Interstate 75 and minutes from The Villages and Leesburg, the area benefits from exceptional regional connectivity while remaining insulated from urban congestion.
Lake County’s economy is diverse and resilient, anchored by healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, education, tourism, and professional services. The continued expansion of The Villages has driven significant demand for medical, retail, and service-oriented employment, while the broader Orlando metropolitan area supports high-wage industries including aerospace, defense, technology, and life sciences. Employers such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Siemens contribute to sustained job growth across the region. Ongoing infrastructure and industrial investment throughout Lake County further reinforces long-term economic stability and housing demand.
The area also offers a high quality of life, highlighted by access to the Harris Chain of Lakes, extensive parks and conservation lands, and proximity to Orlando’s world-class dining, entertainment, and employment base. Atlantic beaches and major cultural destinations are easily accessible, enhancing the region’s appeal to both families and professionals.
Fruitland Park is served by the Lake County Schools, which continues to invest in academic performance and workforce readiness. Higher education options include Lake-Sumter State College, with additional access to University of Central Florida, University of Florida, and University of South Florida within driving distance. Together, these institutions support a skilled labor force and long-term economic vitality.
Market Demand
Fruitland Park and the greater Lake County region are emerging as one of Central Florida’s most compelling markets for large-lot, equestrian, and estate-style residential development. Strategically positioned between The Villages and the Orlando metropolitan area, the area benefits from sustained population growth, employment expansion, and major infrastructure investment while preserving the open land and rural character increasingly sought by high-net-worth buyers. Demand is being driven by lifestyle migration into Florida, with buyers seeking privacy, acreage, and custom estate living within reasonable proximity to economic and cultural hubs.
Lake County has become a natural extension of Florida’s established equestrian corridor, supported by proximity to world-class venues such as World Equestrian Center and HITS Ocala, which attract national and international competitors, trainers, and enthusiasts. These facilities have elevated regional visibility and fueled demand for nearby acreage and equestrian-compatible homesites, particularly as supply in legacy equestrian markets becomes increasingly constrained. The region also benefits from continued growth at The Villages, driving employment and housing demand across healthcare, services, and retail, while Orlando’s diversified economy including tourism, aerospace, technology, and higher education supports long-term population growth and housing absorption.
Significant transportation investment, including the multi-billion-dollar Wekiva Parkway, continues to enhance connectivity throughout Central Florida, improving access to I-4, I-75, and major employment corridors. At the same time, Florida’s well-documented housing shortage and the limited supply of new large-acreage communities create durable demand for estate-scale development. As higher-density housing expands elsewhere, opportunities for thoughtfully planned equestrian and large-lot communities in Lake County are becoming increasingly scarce, supporting long-term value, absorption, and the enduring appeal of estate living in Fruitland Park.
