548 Homes Proposed At Former Pine Meadows Golf Course

    At its meeting this Thursday night, March 3, the Eustis City Commission is expected to consider a plan that looks to put nearly 550 homes on property of the former Pine Meadows Country Club. The project, which covers just over 240 acres, looks to develop 548 homes over the next decade in three phases, beginning in 2023.
    Due to the land’s low-lying topography, much of the development is being envisioned in a central corridor of the project, which has pushed density in those areas to a level that includes some lot sizes at just 40 feet wide. Overall, it is estimated 62% of the property is developable, with an overall density noted at 3.7 units per acre.
    While the old golf course was accessed off Pine Meadows Golf Course Road off SR 19, the new development envisions a main entrance off CR 44 just west of the current Cobb’s Tractor location.
    A report on the development indicates that an estimated 5,000 trips per day will be added to the area.
    Beyond homes, the development is expected to include trails, a clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, a dog park, and other amenities. Old structures of the golf course, including the clubhouse and pool, have previously been removed from the property.
    The city commission meeting will convene at Eustis City Hall, located at 10 North Grove Street in Eustis.
