About Wellen Park
A nationally recognized destination
Wellen Park is one of the fastest-growing and most award-winning master-planned communities in all of Southwest Florida, located in the Venice/North Port area of Sarasota County. Developer Mattamy Homes purchased the land in 2014 and has built Wellen Park into a nationally recognized lifestyle destination, currently about halfway complete with roughly 7,000 acres still to be developed.
Construction is expected to continue for another 10 to 15 years, meaning buyers today are getting in on a community that will only grow more vibrant and valuable over time. The entire community is golf-cart friendly, and a boutique Marriott hotel (149 beds, 5 stories, rooftop lounge and restaurant) is already planned for the area.

- Waterfront dining, boutique retail, kayak & paddleboard rentals, a splash pad, and a year-round events calendar
