The roll counts parcels inside the boundary matched to this name; the community figure may cover plats the roll matched separately, or an association roster.

How Gran Place compares
From the county records
$1,520,000
Median of 24 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $1,050,000 and $2,089,000.
24%
Of the 33 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption. Homestead is filed the year after a purchase, so a community this newly built reads low for reasons that have nothing to do with who lives here. Treat this one as not yet settled.
Still delivering. 68% of the parcels here were completed in the last three years, the most recent in 2025.
Arm’s-length sales recorded with Sarasota County, read October 2026. Quitclaims, foreclosures, family transfers and pre-construction sales are excluded. Homestead requires the property to be a permanent residence, so the share carrying one is reported here as a share of matched residential units rather than as a count of who lives here. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
At an estimated $5,948 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Gran Place sits about 24% below the Wellen Park median of $7,804, ranking 4 of the 18 Wellen Park communities whose fees this site tracks.

Governing Documents
HOA & community documents for Gran Place
3 documents from the community development or stewardship district that covers Gran Place and linked to the page each one lives on. Nothing is copied here, so you read whatever they publish today. No association documents have been located for Gran Place yet, which is a gap in what has been found rather than evidence there are none.
District documents
A community development or stewardship district is a unit of local government, not an association. Its assessment is billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and its rules are public records of a different kind. Shown separately for that reason.

The governing body is known and nothing it publishes is public. That is a gap in what has been published, not evidence that the community has no restrictions. This list records what has been found in public, not everything that governs the property. Before an offer I pull the full document set for the specific address along with the association’s budget and financials.

Gran Place FAQ
Does Gran Place have new construction homes?+
Yes, Gran Place is actively building in Wellen Park. Builder pricing and incentives change often, so I can send the current list and represent you with the developer. What fee you owe, if anything, is set out in the written buyer-broker agreement we sign before touring; developer registration rules are confirmed for your specific purchase. Loop me in before your first model visit.
Who builds homes in Gran Place?+
Gran Place is built by Sam Rogers. Two things matter if you are buying new here. Register your agent on the FIRST visit: most builders pay the buyer-agent fee, but only if representation is declared before you tour, and afterwards it is usually too late. And a builder's contract is their contract, not the standard Florida form, so the deposit terms, the completion date and what happens if the build runs late are worth reading closely.
How much do homes in Gran Place cost?+
The published price guidance for Gran Place is an estimate in the $900s, $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 Gran Place?+
Gran Place offers single family, with floor plans of 3 to 4 bedrooms. As single-family housing, the roof, the exterior and the insurance on the structure are yours rather than an association's, which is the main practical difference from a villa or condominium. 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.
What amenities does Gran Place have?+
Gran Place offers 43 total homes, boutique scale, Close to Downtown Wellen, Sam Rogers semi-custom quality. 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.
What have homes in Gran Place actually sold for?+
24 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Gran Place since October 2023, at a median of $1,520,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $1,050,000 and $2,089,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. Gran Place is new enough that most of these are original builder sales rather than resales, so they read as a price list more than as a resale market. These are prices recorded with Sarasota County, not asking prices, so they describe what buyers and sellers actually agreed. Figures read October 2026; quitclaims, foreclosures and family transfers are excluded.
Do people live in Gran Place year round?+
24% of the 33 matched residential units in Gran Place claim a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence, read from the Sarasota County roll in October 2026. That reads as a minority of homes here are claimed as a permanent residence. Read that figure with care here: Florida homestead is filed the year after a purchase, so a community still being delivered reads lower than it will settle at. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
Is Gran Place still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Gran Place was completed in 2025, across 44 platted parcels of which 33 carry a finished home. 68% of its parcels were completed in the last three years, so Gran Place is still being delivered: expect construction nearby, and the lot choice that comes with it. Build year matters more in Florida than buyers expect, because insurers weight roof age heavily and it drives what a property costs to carry rather than just what it costs to buy.
Does Gran Place have a CDD fee?+
Yes. Gran Place carries an estimated CDD assessment of ~$2,000, on top of an HOA fee estimated at ~$329 monthly. 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 Gran Place in?+
The flood zone recorded for Gran Place 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.
