San Michele . . . in Palm Beach Gardens

PALM BEACH GARDENS – With over only a handful of homesites remaining, San Michele remains the most popular estate home community in the Palm Beach Gardens area.

“Since January 1st this year, the sales here have skyrocketed,” reported W. Allen Ball, director of sales for the community. “Buyers who want to live in this incredibly desirable neighborhood should make a point of visiting our sales office soon. To date, there are several choice homesites available, three homes ready for immediate occupancy and three spectacular furnished models available.”

Developed by Gordon Homes and Sterling Communities, San Michele has been created as the perfect alternative to country club living.

The exclusive enclave of private single-family estates is set amid nature preserves and lakes in Palm Beach Gardens.

“Buyers looking for a neighborhood that feels more like a private club will be impressed with San Michele, the prestigious enclave of private estate homes especially for families. In the luxury home market, this community has developed a reputation as the community of choice for buyers looking for a prestigious address in a private guard-gated neighborhood.”

Behind the new decorative wrought iron gates at San Michele, buyers may choose from four-, five- and six-bedroom home designs, situated on nature preserves or shimmering lakes.

“With San Michele’s impressive Venetian Club, residents enjoy a beautiful community club with state-of-the-art cardiovascular and strength training equipment, a social room, swimming center with lush landscaping and two lighted Har-Tru tennis courts,” noted Ball. “What they won’t experience are the burdensome costs found at surrounding country clubs for services many families don’t need or want.”
