Taylor Morrison Newest Community – Tortuga! – Selling Fast

July 22, 2011 - PRLog -- Taylor Morrison has successfully performed a rare balancing act with the creation of Tortuga, its newest community. Located in Fort Myers, Florida this resort-style neighborhood of garden homes and twin villas has perfectly re-created the beauty and laid-back atmosphere of the Caribbean islands that inspired it, yet it offers a full array of social and recreational amenities geared for today’s homeowners.  With nearly 30% of the units already sold, the opportunity to own a home in the community is quickly passing.

For those looking to preview this community, a pool party is planned for July 23, 11 am to 2 pm.  Residents are encouraged to invite family members and friends to spend the afternoon around the pool.  The event will be held at the Island Club at 15040 Sea Crest Boulevard, Fort Myers, FL.  

“Tortuga is indeed a special place, with a relaxed environment and beautiful tropical setting that makes you feel like you are on vacation at an exotic island,” said Cammie Longenécker, vice president of sales and marketing for Taylor Morrison West Florida. “At the same time, the community offers a full range of social activities and amenities. You can choose to be as busy as you want to be or relax and really have the best of both worlds.”

Tortuga is situated on nearly 50 acres accented with five acres of lakes and more than five acres of natural preserves. Lush tropical landscaping and Bermudan architectural influences combine to add to the island flavor. The centerpiece of the community is a spectacular Island Club with a comfortably furnished gathering room, fully equipped kitchen, and state-of-the-art fitness center. Outside is an open air paver deck with large swimming pool, whirlpool, and lounge area. Located nearby is a barbecue area with gas grills, lighted tennis court, and a gated pet park. This model was featured on HGTV “House Hunters” which will air later this year.

As the developer and builder of this maintenance-free community, Taylor Morrison brings a national reputation for quality homes and craftsmanship. A fully furnished model of their award-winning Ibis villa is available on site. With two bedrooms, two baths, den and a flexible floor plan that includes 1,533 square feet, the Ibis is one of the company’s most popular designs and starts at $159,900. Two garden home floor plans are also offered – Stonington and Pembroke. Both are two-bedroom, two-bath plus den designs with 1508 square feet, priced from the $130s. Four inventory homes are available in Tortuga, with two ready for immediate occupancy.
