Move-In Ready Home at Gatherpoint
Move-In Ready Lennar Carson at GatherPoint in Ave Maria, Florida
If you’re searching for a new construction home for sale in Ave Maria, Florida, this move-in-ready Lennar home in GatherPoint deserves a closer look.
Located on Homesite 42, this is the Carson floor plan by Lennar, offering approximately 1,933 square feet of living space, 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and a 2-car garage. At the time of our recent tour, the home was priced in the upper $400s, making it an interesting option for buyers looking for a newer single-family home in Ave Maria with a desirable homesite.
For more details on the photos and floor plan see Ave Maria New Homes page.
What makes this particular Carson especially interesting, however, isn’t only the house.
It’s the lot.
A Corner Homesite With Additional Privacy
Homesite 42 is positioned on a corner lot, giving this property a different feel from many interior homesites in GatherPoint.
The lot does carry an additional lot premium, which is something buyers should always consider when comparing new construction homes. Builders frequently charge premiums for homesites that offer features such as additional privacy, water views, larger dimensions or desirable positioning within a community.
In this case, one of the biggest attractions is the anticipated future water setting behind the home.
A planned lake extension is expected to enhance the view behind this property, potentially creating an attractive water backdrop while also providing additional separation from neighboring homes.
Because community plans and builder improvements can change, buyers should always confirm future lake plans and homesite details before purchasing.
Inside the Lennar Carson Floor Plan
The Carson is a single-story home designed around an open-concept main living area.
The kitchen, dining area and family room flow together, creating the type of open layout many Southwest Florida buyers are looking for.
The home includes four bedrooms, which provides considerably more flexibility than many homes of this size.
Two secondary bedrooms are located toward the front of the home and share a hall bathroom. Another secondary bedroom has access to its own full bathroom, making it particularly useful for overnight guests, older children or buyers who need a private home office.
The owner’s suite is positioned toward the rear of the home and includes its own private bathroom.
With three full bathrooms, the Carson also works particularly well for buyers who regularly have family or guests visiting Florida.
Easy Florida Living
Another feature I liked about this particular home is the flooring throughout the main living areas.
The tile creates a clean, easy-to-maintain interior that works well with Southwest Florida living.
The kitchen is open to the primary living space, making the home feel larger than its approximately 1,933 square feet would suggest.
And because everything is located on one floor, the Carson may appeal to buyers who want the additional bedrooms without moving into a two-story home.
Room for a Future Pool
The backyard is another major reason I think this homesite stands out.
There appears to be room for a future swimming pool, giving a buyer the opportunity to create a private outdoor living area rather than being limited to the home’s existing covered outdoor space.
Combine a future pool with the anticipated lake setting and the corner location, and Homesite 42 has the potential to become a particularly attractive homesite within this section of GatherPoint.
As always, buyers interested in adding a pool should verify setbacks, easements, HOA requirements and permitting before making plans.
What Is GatherPoint in Ave Maria?
GatherPoint is one of the newer residential communities within Ave Maria, Florida, with homes being offered by multiple builders and collections.
Lennar’s Executive Homes collection includes some of its larger single-family floor plans, including the Carson. GatherPoint itself is planned around a resort-style lifestyle with community amenities including a swimming pool, pickleball, gathering spaces, a dog park and additional recreational facilities.
The larger GatherPoint amenity plan also includes a clubhouse, fitness facilities, event spaces and The FORGE Bar & Grill, creating a community designed around both recreation and social activities.
For buyers relocating to Southwest Florida, GatherPoint provides an opportunity to purchase new construction while still having access to the shops, restaurants, schools, parks and community amenities found throughout Ave Maria.
Don’t Forget About Builder Incentives
One of the biggest reasons buyers should compare new construction carefully right now is that the advertised home price doesn’t always tell the entire story.
Builders may offer different incentives depending on the specific home, financing program and timing of the purchase.
That can include:
- Builder financing incentives
- Mortgage rate promotions
- Closing-cost assistance
- Quick move-in home discounts
- Price reductions
- Lot premium incentives
- Other limited-time buyer promotions
The best incentive isn’t necessarily the one with the biggest advertised dollar amount.
For a buyer financing the home, for example, a financing incentive that reduces the monthly payment could potentially be more valuable than a smaller reduction in purchase price.
That’s why I recommend comparing the complete transaction, including the home price, lot premium, financing, closing costs and monthly payment.
Is This GatherPoint Home Worth Considering?
For the right buyer, I think Homesite 42 has several things working in its favor.
You have a move-in-ready Lennar Carson, approximately 1,933 square feet, four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a 2-car garage, a corner homesite, potential room for a future pool and an anticipated future water setting.
That combination may be particularly attractive to someone who wants a single-story home with enough space for family and guests without moving into one of the much larger—and more expensive—floor plans.
The lot premium does need to be factored into the value, but that’s also why I recommend comparing this specific home with other Lennar inventory as well as homes available from other Ave Maria builders.
