Hundreds Attend Tapas & Tours Progressive Luncheon at Beacon Lake

ST. JOHNS, Fla. - Sept. 13, 2018 - PRLog -- More than 165 Realtors recently attended the Tapas & Tours progressive luncheon and model home tour at Beacon Lake.

The new master-planned community in St. Johns County offers a lakefront lifestyle and family-friendly amenities. At Beacon Lake, Dream Finders Homes and Mattamy Homes are building coastal-inspired homes featuring welcoming front porches and open floor plans.

Tapas & Tours guests mingled and enjoyed gourmet fare as they toured the community's five beautifully furnished and decorated model homes showcasing the latest in home design trends. Guests enjoyed giveaways and prize drawings. Following Tapas & Tours, organizers donated the event's remaining food to two groups of first responders.

"We are thrilled so many agents could join us for our special event and we appreciate the positive response we received from our guests," said Bruce J. Parker, Managing Director for BBX Capital Real Estate, Beacon Lake's master developer. "Everyone loves our builders' award-winning home designs and our welcoming neighborhood environment. Beacon Lake is quickly taking shape and we are excited about the opening of the community's on-site amenities in the near future."

Slated for completion and grand opening in early 2019, the graciously designed 8,200-square-foot Lake House Amenity and Fitness Center will be the heart of Beacon Lake and home to fun and fitness. Anchored by a 43-acre paddle-friendly lake and nestled within 358 acres of nature preserve, Beacon Lake's nautically themed gathering place will provide plentiful opportunities for indoor and outdoor recreation – and relaxation – for every member of the family.

Cool off at the Splash Park, fun pool, junior Olympic swimming pool, or lakeside sand beach. Launch a paddleboard, kayak or canoe and explore the peaceful, natural beauty of Beacon Lake while getting in a great workout. Lift weights, practice yoga or complete a cardio circuit in the state-of-the-art fitness center. Learn how to cook something new in the Culinary Studio and Demonstration kitchen, which is also available for catered events in the social room. Hit the tennis courts, kick around a soccer ball or play catch on the multipurpose playing field. The dockside Crew House will provide kayak, canoe and paddleboard storage and the dog park will offer Beacon Lake's furry residents and their owners a place to exercise, socialize and play. Enjoy watching the little ones swing, climb and slide in the neighborhood park. The thoughtfully designed neighborhood has multipurpose paths for walking, jogging and bicycling, and pocket parks with stop-a-whiles for enjoying the community's natural surroundings. Beacon Lake has an intimate and friendly feel with big community amenities, making it an excellent place to live and raise a family.
