SARASOTA, Fla. (June 30, 2015) – London Bay Homes sold five new single-family homes totaling nearly $7.5 million in 45 days at The Founders Club.

London Bay Homes owns the majority of homesites in The Founders Club, recently named Best Overall Community by the Manatee-Sarasota Building Industry Association.

“Buyers at The Founders Club have been inspired by our fully furnished model homes, and they’re opting for designs based on those floor plans,” said Mark Wilson, CEO and president of London Bay Homes. “They walk into a model, experience the flow and lifestyle of the floor plan, and easily envision the possibilities for their own home.”

Two buyers opted to customize the single-story Isabella. Those homes sold for
$1,498,000 and $1,524,950.

Another client is building the Delfina floor plan based on the model home. This private residence sold for nearly $2 million.

The five sales also included the three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath Addison plan for $1,278,800 and a brand new custom home for $1,344,900.

London Bay is currently constructing two new Isabella models: The Isabella Grande, offering additional square footage and a larger master suite than the Isabella; and the Isabella Two-Story, featuring an enhanced ground floor plus a second floor with a sitting room, fourth bedroom, and fifth bath.

The builder also is introducing its second Girona model home at The Founders Club. The three-bedroom floor plan is one of London Bay Homes’ most popular designs; six previous Girona model homes at Mediterra in Naples were sold before construction was completed.

London Bay Homes offers a selection of more than 18 single-family homes, Reserve Collection homes and one-of-a-kind estates ranging from 2,500 to more than 6,000 square feet of living space at The Founders Club. Home and homesite packages are priced from the $750,000s to more than $5 million.

London Bay Homes builds its homes using the latest information, products and technology available in building science, including the BEP Blue Barrier system that protects against mold issues and structural damage from moisture intrusion.

Planned for only 262 homes, the 700-acre Founders Club offers large homesites overlooking nature preserves, lakes and fairways along the Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed championship golf course. The community features 100 protected live oaks and a natural habitat that attracts a variety of birds and wildlife.

A traditional private golf and social club community, The Founders Club offers 18 holes of golf and the area’s only traditional caddie program. Golfers are allowed to walk the course, and membership is limited to 275 to ensure members enjoy year-round golf with no tee time required.

Training facilities include two putting greens, a recently enlarged short game area, and state-of-the-art TrackMan radar technology offered through Florida Golf Performance Center.

The 24,000-square-foot Golf Hall, overlooking an oak hammock and the 18th hole, offers a main dining room, bar and grille, outdoor verandah, and private dining room for casual and fine dining. The facility also has a professionally staffed and fully stocked golf pro shop, state-of-the-art fitness center, and men’s and women’s locker rooms and lounges.

The club offers a vibrant, active social calendar and an in-season reciprocal partnership with Sarasota Yacht Club.

Amenities at The Founders Club are designed to foster camaraderie among residents and a connection with nature. Miles of winding boardwalks and paved walkways meander throughout the community.

The Founders Club also features Har-Tru tennis courts, basketball and sand volleyball courts, and a picnic pavilion. Fitness and wellness classes, educational and instructional programs, and social gatherings are coordinated by a professional staff.

The Founders Club is just minutes from Sarasota’s famed Gulf of Mexico beaches, the new University Town Center mall, and the acclaimed local restaurants, boutiques and arts and cultural venues of downtown Sarasota.

The Founders Club Sales Center is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is located at 3001 Founders Club Drive, three miles east of I-75 on Fruitville Road, Exit 210.
