Cypress Reserve: New Homes in Clermont FL by Risewell Homes (2026 Guide)

If you have been hunting for new homes in Clermont FL that sit on real rolling terrain instead of a flat pad, Cypress Reserve is worth putting on your list right now. This Risewell Homes community inside the Cypress Grove masterplan is in its coming-soon phase for 2026, with single-family plans from 1,819 to 3,035 square feet starting in the high $400s. Because it has not opened for tours yet, the interest list is where early buyers get their first look at homesites.

Cypress Reserve Quick Facts

About Risewell Homes

Risewell Homes is a new name on a very established foundation. In December 2025, New Home Co. and Landsea Homes united under the Risewell brand following a $1.2 billion merger, creating a top-30 national builder with more than 120 actively selling communities across 11 major markets, including Florida. Between the two legacy companies, Risewell has delivered homes to more than 20,000 buyers.

For buyers, the practical takeaway is that Risewell carries forward Landsea's Florida playbook: connected, energy-conscious homes with curated interior design packages instead of an open-ended options list. That approach tends to speed up the design-center process and keeps finishes cohesive — a real advantage for anyone who does not want to make 200 individual selections. Risewell already builds elsewhere in Lake County, so this is not a first rodeo in the South Lake market.

Floor Plans & Pricing at Cypress Reserve

The published range covers 1,819 to 3,035 square feet with three to six bedrooms, 2.5 to 4.5 bathrooms, and two-car garages across the collection. That span is unusually wide for a single neighborhood, which means the same street can work for a couple downsizing from a larger Orlando home and for a multigenerational household that needs a guest suite plus a loft.

Pricing starts in the high $400s, with third-party new-home data listing homes from roughly $490,000 — right in line with the 34711 average for new construction. Because Cypress Reserve is pre-opening, individual plan names, elevations, and lot premiums have not been released. Treat every number here as a starting point and verify current pricing directly with the builder before you budget.

Amenities

The amenity package is the headline. Cypress Reserve's amenity center is built on the area's natural hills — a genuinely rare thing in Florida — and includes an elevated resort-style pool with a cabana, a fitness studio, pickleball and tennis courts, a dog park, a tot lot, neighborhood parks, and a kayak launch with lake access. For an entry point in the high $400s, that is a deeper amenity list than most communities in this price band offer.

Location: Why South Clermont Works

Cypress Reserve sits less than a mile from South Lake Regional Park and about five miles from Clermont's Waterfront Park, so trails, ball fields, and the Lake Minneola shoreline are all close. Historic Downtown Clermont — the farmers market, the restaurants on Montrose Street, the Clermont Boat Ramp — is roughly six minutes away.

Commuters get quick access to SR-50, US-27, and Florida's Turnpike, which connects on to I-4 and the 429. Walt Disney World is about 18 miles out, and downtown Orlando, the Horizon West job corridor, and Winter Garden Village are all reasonable drives. Zoned schools are in the Lake County district, with Groveland Elementary, Clermont Middle, and South Lake High nearby; confirm current attendance boundaries with Lake County Schools before you write a contract, since the district adjusts zones as it grows.

What Makes Cypress Reserve Stand Out

Among new build communities near Clermont, most of the resort-amenity product has pushed north toward Minneola or east toward Horizon West, where prices climb fast. Cypress Reserve keeps the resort amenities but plants them in South Lake, minutes from downtown and a regional park, at a high-$400s entry. The elevated terrain, the kayak launch, and the pickleball-and-tennis pairing give it a distinct identity rather than a generic pool-and-playground setup.

The other thing that matters: it has not opened yet. In a market where the best homesites in a new community go in the first release, being on the interest list before models open is the difference between choosing your lot and taking what is left. If you are shopping new construction homes in Clermont FL in 2026, this is a community to get in front of early.
