Sanctuary at Wellness Ridge: New 55+ Homes in Clermont FL by Lennar (2026 Guide)

If you have been shopping for new homes in Clermont FL and want an active adult address that puts wellness first, Sanctuary at Wellness Ridge deserves a close look. This gated 55+ neighborhood by Lennar sits inside the larger Wellness Ridge master plan at 3141 Leisurely Avenue in Clermont, and it is actively selling in 2026 with three distinct home collections starting in the mid $200,000s. It is currently one of the newest communities to open anywhere in the Clermont market.

Quick Facts: Sanctuary at Wellness Ridge

About Lennar, the Builder Behind Sanctuary at Wellness Ridge

Lennar is one of the largest homebuilders in the United States and one of the most active in Central Florida. Its signature Everything's Included® approach bundles features that many builders treat as upgrades — appliances, quartz or granite surfaces, smart home technology and window blinds — into the base price. For buyers moving from out of state, that predictability matters: the number on the price sheet is much closer to the number you actually pay.

Lennar also builds the all-ages side of Wellness Ridge, so the developer has a track record on this land and a clear plan for how the 55+ enclave fits into the wider community. Like any national builder, Lennar's customer reviews vary by division, so ask your agent for recent local feedback and walk a completed home before you commit.

Floor Plans and Pricing

Sanctuary at Wellness Ridge is organized into three collections, which is unusual for a 55+ neighborhood and gives buyers real range within one gate.

• Vineyard Collection — attached villas in four- and six-unit buildings. The Napa plan offers 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and 1,421 sq. ft., with quick move-in homes recently listed from about $249,740 and plan pricing from roughly $295,740. This is the lowest-maintenance option in the community.
• Classic Collection — single-family homes from about $377,490. Plans include the Frey II (2 bed / 2 bath / 1,580 sq. ft.), Nash II (2/2/1,779), Walsh II (3/2/1,875) and McCartney (4 bed / 3 bath / 2,366 sq. ft. from about $502,490).
• Classic II Collection — the same floor plans with three-car garages, from about $429,990 up to roughly $547,990 for the McCartney. Worth the premium if you have a golf cart, a workshop or a boat.

Pricing and availability change frequently in new construction, so treat these as a September 2026 snapshot and verify current numbers with the sales team before you plan a budget.

Amenities: What Does the Wellness Theme Actually Mean?

The name is not just marketing. Sanctuary at Wellness Ridge is built around a private clubhouse with a fitness center and social space, a resort-style pool with cabanas and a sun deck, and a covered pavilion designed for yoga and outdoor classes. Outside, residents get a chipping and putting green, pickleball courts, a basketball court, bocce ball and walking trails — all behind a gated entrance. Lawn maintenance is handled for residents, which is the amenity most buyers end up appreciating the most.

Location: Why Clermont 34714 Works

Among new build communities near Clermont, this pocket of 34714 is well placed. Walt Disney World, SeaWorld and Universal Orlando are all roughly 30 minutes away, which makes visiting grandchildren very easy to entertain. US-27 and Florida's Turnpike handle regional trips, and the ongoing SR-429 connector work continues to shorten the drive toward Winter Garden, Horizon West and the 429/I-4 corridor.

Closer to home you have Lake Louisa State Park, the South Lake Trail, the National Training Center and Clermont's chain of lakes. Orlando Health South Lake Hospital and a growing cluster of medical offices are nearby — a genuinely important consideration for 55+ buyers that many communities cannot match.

What Makes Sanctuary at Wellness Ridge Stand Out

Most active adult communities in the Orlando area start well above $300,000. Sanctuary at Wellness Ridge opens in the mid $200,000s, which makes it one of the more attainable gated 55+ options in the region. Add the three-collection structure — villa, single-family and three-car single-family — and buyers can right-size without leaving the neighborhood. The wellness-oriented amenity package, energy-efficient construction, included smart home features and maintained lawns round out a package aimed squarely at buyers who want less upkeep and more time.

The trade-off to weigh: the clubhouse and several amenities are still being delivered, so ask for written timelines. Early buyers usually get the best homesites and pricing, but they also live through construction.
