Esplanade Golf and Country Club FAQ
Who builds homes in Esplanade Golf and Country Club?+
Esplanade Golf and Country Club is built by Taylor Morrison. Those homes now trade as resales rather than through the builder, so the original warranty has usually expired and the condition of the specific house matters more than who built it. Roof age is the first thing to establish, because Florida insurers weight it heavily.
How much do homes in Esplanade Golf and Country Club cost?+
The published price guidance for Esplanade Golf and Country Club is an estimate in the $500s, $1M+ range, not a live listing feed or a valuation. Pricing varies by the specific home, condition and lot. Ask me for current listings and recent comparable sales before setting an investment range or an asking price.
What kind of homes are in Esplanade Golf and Country Club?+
Esplanade Golf and Country Club offers single family, condos & villas, with floor plans of 2 to 4 bedrooms. Attached homes carry an association that maintains the building itself, so the fee covers more than it would on a single-family home and the association's reserves matter to you directly. What a specific home includes, and what the association maintains, is set out in that community's documents and is worth reading before an offer rather than after.
Is golf membership required at Esplanade Golf and Country Club?+
Golf at Esplanade Golf and Country Club is bundled, which means the membership runs with the home rather than being optional: you pay for it whether or not you play. Bundled communities usually cost less per round for an active golfer and more for someone who does not play at all, so it is worth being honest about how much golf you actually expect. Confirm the current dues and exactly what the membership includes in writing before an offer, because these change.
What amenities does Esplanade Golf and Country Club have?+
Esplanade Golf and Country Club offers 18-hole bundled golf, deeded with home, Two activity campuses, Three resort-style pools, Eight pickleball & six tennis courts, Full-service spa & salon, among others. Worth separating two things that often get blurred together: amenities the HOA maintains and which every owner pays for, and club or golf facilities that may require a separate membership on top. Which category each amenity falls into determines your actual annual cost, and it is set out in the community documents rather than in any listing.
Does Esplanade Golf and Country Club have a CDD fee?+
Yes. Esplanade Golf and Country Club carries an estimated CDD assessment of $1,231 - $1,953, on top of an HOA fee estimated at $11,968 - $14,064 yearly. A community development district assessment can have two components, and they behave differently: debt service repays the bonds that funded the roads, drainage and amenities, and ends when those bonds are retired, while an operations and maintenance charge pays to run what the bonds built and does not. Both are billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and both are separate from the HOA. Assessments are set annually and vary by home and phase, so confirm the current components for the specific address.
What flood zone is Esplanade Golf and Country Club in?+
The flood zone recorded for Esplanade Golf and Country Club is X. Zones beginning A or V are the higher-risk categories, where a federally backed mortgage generally requires flood insurance, while zone X is lower risk and coverage is usually optional. Flood zone is assigned per property rather than per community though, and elevation can change both the requirement and the premium substantially, so get the zone and the elevation certificate for the exact address rather than relying on a community-level figure.
