Perched along the central rolling ridge of Citrus County over 200 feet above sea level, Citrus Hills is recognized as one of Florida’s premier master-planned resort and active-lifestyle country club communities. Anchored by the acclaimed **Villages of Citrus Hills**, the area is famed for its elevated terrain, lush topography, world-class amenities—including the Skyview, The Oaks, and The Meadows championship golf courses—the BellaVita Spa and Fitness Complex, fine dining clubhouses, and extensive tennis and pickleball facilities. Citrus Hills consistently attracts affluent retirees, seasonal residents, and relocators seeking upscale security and resort amenities without mandatory golf initiation fees or high CDD taxes. The market presents an impressive variety of master-crafted residences: from luxury hilltop estates, Mediterranean-inspired single-family homes, and modern courtyard pool villas in prestigious, gated **Terra Vista**, to maintenance-free golf villas and executive homes in **Brentwood**, scenic golf-front residences in **Belmont Hills**, and sprawling one-to-two-acre equestrian and custom homesteads across **Clearview Estates** and **Meadowview**. Centered along County Road 486 (Norvell Bryant Highway) and County Road 491, Citrus Hills provides rapid transit east to Inverness and the Tsala Apopka Chain of Lakes, west to Crystal River and coastal Gulf waters, and south toward the Suncoast Parkway (FL-589) for swift access into Tampa and St. Petersburg. Direct placement on Stellar MLS guarantees your home is seen immediately by tens of thousands of active licensed REALTORS® across Florida, reaching qualified local, northern, and out-of-state buyers seeking Florida country club living.
With strong property valuations and upscale custom builds throughout Citrus Hills, paying a traditional 3% listing broker commission routinely extracts $10,000 to over $30,000 from your transaction proceeds at the closing table. Flat Fee MLS provides identical statewide and regional MLS syndication to all major public real estate platforms—including Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and Homes.com—while ensuring you retain complete For Sale By Owner (FSBO) control over your showing schedule, open houses, contract reviews, and closing proceeds.
