Esplanade at McKinnon Groves is one of the most anticipated new construction communities in Winter Garden, FL for 2026. Built by Taylor Morrison under their highly sought-after Esplanade resort-lifestyle brand, this gated community delivers a full-amenity, concierge lifestyle on 12 thoughtfully designed single-family floor plans — priced from the mid-$500s.

If you've been watching Winter Garden's new-home market, this one deserves a long look. It's the first Esplanade community in the immediate Winter Garden/Clermont corridor, and it's being built on 300+ acres inside Lake County's Wellness Way area — a master-planned sector designed around health, wellness, and open space.

Quick Facts: Esplanade at McKinnon Groves

About the Builder: Taylor Morrison & the Esplanade Lifestyle Brand

Taylor Morrison is one of the largest and most decorated homebuilders in the country, named America's Most Trusted Home Builder ten years in a row. Their Esplanade collection is their signature resort-lifestyle brand — the same concept you'll recognize from Esplanade at Azario in Lakewood Ranch and Esplanade at Highland Ranch in Clermont. Every Esplanade community is gated, professionally landscaped, and built around a full-time lifestyle director who programs fitness, social, and wellness events for residents.

In 2026, Taylor Morrison is opening more than 20 new Esplanade communities nationwide, and McKinnon Groves is their flagship for the West Orange/South Lake corridor.

Floor Plans & Pricing at Esplanade at McKinnon Groves

The community offers 12 floor plans across two home series: the 50' Lot Collection (attainable resort living) and the 60' Lot Adventure Series (larger estate-style plans). All are open-concept designs with the Esplanade-signature indoor/outdoor flow, gourmet kitchens, and spa-style owner's suites. Homes are sold built-to-order, so buyers can personalize finishes at the Taylor Morrison Design Studio.

• Cresta — ~2,573 sq ft, 3 BR / 3.5 BA

Current pricing starts from the mid-$500s in the 50' Lot Collection and climbs into the mid-$800s for the larger 60' Adventure Series homes. Because availability and builder incentives shift quickly at a new community, reach out directly for the latest price sheet and any current promotions such as closing-cost credits, design-studio dollars, or rate buydowns.

Amenities & Community Lifestyle

The Esplanade difference is the amenity package — and McKinnon Groves is no exception. The community will feature a resort-style amenity campus anchored by a Mediterranean-inspired clubhouse, built exclusively for residents.

• Resort-style pool with spa, cabanas, and on-site bar
• State-of-the-art fitness center with movement studio and spa treatment room
• Pickleball, tennis, and bocce courts
• Dog park, rose garden, and miles of walking/biking trails
• Trailhead access to Lake County's equestrian and nature trails
• Fireside outdoor seating, yoga lawn, and flex event lawns
• Full-time lifestyle concierge and signature resident events
• Wellness & spa programming and a resident wine club

Every home also comes standard with Taylor Morrison's LiveSmart™ smart-home package — Ring video doorbell, electronic smart lock, and Wi-Fi-enabled garage opener — plus energy-efficient construction that meets today's performance standards.

Location & Convenience

Esplanade at McKinnon Groves sits on the western edge of Winter Garden in the rapidly growing Wellness Way district, tucked between Hartwood Marsh Road and Marsh Road. From here, you're roughly:

• ~5 minutes to the Florida Turnpike and SR-429
• ~15 minutes to Hamlin Town Center and Winter Garden Village
• ~15 minutes to Historic Downtown Winter Garden & Plant Street Market
• ~20 minutes to Walt Disney World

Students are zoned for Lake County Schools, with East Ridge High School as the assigned high school. Nearby Clermont and Winter Garden also offer top-rated private, charter, and magnet options.

What Makes Esplanade at McKinnon Groves Stand Out?

Three things set it apart in the Winter Garden new-construction market:

1. It's a true resort-lifestyle community — not just a pool and a clubhouse, but full concierge programming and wellness amenities typically found in 55+ communities, available to buyers of every age.
2. It's all Taylor Morrison built-to-order — you pick the floor plan, lot, and finishes, which is rare at this price point in 34787.
3. It's the last big land play in the Winter Garden/Clermont corridor, meaning long-term value potential as Wellness Way continues to develop around it.

As of 2026, this community is actively writing contracts, and early buyers typically get the best lot premiums and promotional pricing.
