Where it is
On the county highway corridor at Beverly Hills, in unincorporated Citrus County, with land reserved along the frontage for a future road widening. No street addresses have been assigned yet.
Nearly 5,000 homes approved. Not one builder named.
A community this size does not launch all at once. It gets sold off in pods, and each pod gets its own builder, its own name and its own first release. The people who hear about the first one are the people on a list.
Why this one is worth watching
A master-planned community the size of a small town
Most of the communities we track early are a few hundred homes. Tuscany Ranch is on a different scale. The approved plan is nearly 5,000 homes and apartments across more than 1,000 acres, with its own town center and recreation site, the largest residential approval Citrus County has seen in a generation.
A community this size is not built by one company or sold under one name. Land of this scale is released in pods over ten or twenty years, and each pod tends to arrive with a different production builder, a different product and a different first release. That is the opportunity of getting on a list early: the first pods usually carry the best homesites and the most pricing flexibility, before the wider market even knows the place has opened.
Being clear about what this is and is not: the rezoning is adopted and on the record, but no homebuilder has been named, nothing is for sale, there is no model home and no price sheet. A first pod will simply appear one day under a name nobody has heard yet, and unless you are told, you will not connect it to any of this. That gap, between an approval on the record and homes actually going on sale, is exactly the window this list is built for.
What is coming
Nearly 5,000 homes across a planned town
The approved plan totals 4,937 homes and apartments, close to 5,000 residences: about 3,687 single-family lots and 1,250 apartments, with the balance of the land set aside for a town center, a recreation and amenity site, internal roads and open space. That is a full community rather than a subdivision, at a low overall density of under five homes per acre.
The approval comes with the kind of conditions that shape how a place actually turns out: a parks, trails and green-space plan and a phasing and amenities plan both due back to the county early in construction, fiber-optic service throughout, and land reserved along the county highway for a future widening. Those are the bones a builder builds on.
What has not been released: the builders, home designs and sizes, phasing, a model date and pricing. On a community this size those arrive pod by pod over many years, and the day they land for Tuscany Ranch they go out to this list.
One thing to be clear about
Approved by the county, and no builder yet
The owner of record for this land is Beverly Hills Development LLC, and that is the party named in the county's approval. It is not a homebuilder, and no homebuilder is named anywhere in the county record. Nothing is for sale under this name. We searched the listing portals and the new-home aggregators for this county; the communities they carry are all older, established names, and this is not among them.
On an approval of more than 1,000 acres, that is exactly what you would expect. Land of this size is sold in pods over ten or twenty years, and each pod tends to arrive with a different production builder and a different marketing name. Nobody will announce that Tuscany Ranch is now selling. A first pod will simply appear under a name you have never heard, and unless you were told, you will not connect it to any of this. Staying connected to it is most of the value of being on the list.
The area
Living on Florida's Nature Coast
Citrus County sits on the Gulf side of Florida, north of Tampa and west of Ocala, and it is the heart of what the state calls the Nature Coast. Instead of theme parks and six-lane traffic, the draw here is water and woods: spring-fed rivers, state forest and the Gulf. Beverly Hills sits in the middle of the county, close to all of it.
Crystal River, a short drive west, is the one place in the country where you can legally swim with manatees, and hundreds of them gather in its warm springs each winter. The Rainbow River near Dunnellon is a gin-clear, spring-fed run popular for paddling and tubing, and nearby Homosassa Springs is a classic Old Florida spring run. The Withlacoochee State Forest, one of the largest in the state, wraps much of this area in trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding, and the Gulf is close enough that fishing and scalloping are weekend habits rather than vacations.
For day-to-day needs, Ocala is the nearest larger city, roughly an hour east, with big-box shopping, a growing hospital system and a regional airport. Tampa and its international airport are about an hour and a half south. That combination, real country on your doorstep with a city close enough for the things a country town does not have, is what keeps drawing buyers, and now large master planners, to this county.
It has also long been one of the more affordable corners of west-central Florida to buy new, which is a large part of the appeal of getting into a community like Tuscany Ranch early, before a builder's first release sets the tone on price.
Location and costs
County land, no district today
The site is in unincorporated Citrus County at Beverly Hills, which is a community rather than an incorporated city, on the main county highway corridor. Because it is county land with no municipality over it, a buyer here would pay county taxes with no separate city tax on top.
Approved is not the same as ready to build. The zoning is done, but a community this size still moves through years of platting and engineering, pod by pod, and each pod has its own steps to clear before homes go up. That is standard for a master plan of this scale rather than a warning sign, but it is worth knowing so the word approved does not get read as tomorrow.
On recurring costs there is one piece of unusually good news: no community development district has been established over this land. A district is a special-purpose unit of local government that borrows for infrastructure and repays it through an annual assessment on your tax notice, on top of HOA dues, often for decades. Many large Florida master plans have one. This one, as of today, does not. That can change before homes are sold, and on a project of this size it very well may, so ask at contract rather than assuming.
We do not publish drive times to Ocala, Crystal River or Tampa, because Tuscany Ranch has no assigned address or coordinates yet and any mileage would be invented precision.
What you need to know
Buying new construction, the smart way
Whoever ends up building the homes at Tuscany Ranch, the same rule applies: the person at the model's sales desk works for the builder, not for you. They are usually helpful and usually honest, and they still represent the seller's side of the transaction. You are allowed, and smart, to have your own representation, and in almost every case it costs you nothing, because the builder budgets a cooperating commission into the deal whether you bring an agent or not.
The catch is timing. Most builders require your agent to register you on your first visit. Tour or sign in alone and bring an agent later, and the builder can refuse to recognize them, and you lose your representation for that community. Get connected before you tour, have your agent register you, and let them read the contract and the addenda.
On a community that will be built out over a decade or more, the question nobody asks early enough is what will be next to you in year eight. Here the answer is partly on the record already: a town center, a recreation site, and up to 1,250 apartments somewhere in the plan. Ask which pod you are in and what the master plan shows adjoining it before you choose a homesite.
Subdiview is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any homebuilder, the developer, or Citrus County. No homebuilder has been named for this community; the owner of record and the developer entities are identified here because they are the parties of record in the county's published entitlement documents, which is a statement of fact about the public record and not a representation of any relationship. Community names and marks are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only. Subdiview is operated by a real estate broker licensed in Illinois. We are not your agent, we do not represent you, and we perform no real estate brokerage services in this state. No one at Subdiview is licensed in this state. If you join an interest list, your information is referred to a real estate professional licensed in the state where the property is located, who will contact you directly. We are compensated by that professional's brokerage, not by you.

Questions and answers
Tuscany Ranch FAQ
What is Tuscany Ranch?
Tuscany Ranch is an approved master planned community on more than 1,000 acres of unincorporated Citrus County, near Beverly Hills. The approved plan totals 4,937 homes and apartments, close to 5,000 residences, with its own town center and recreation site. The county adopted the rezoning in 2025. Nothing has been built, no builder has been named, and nothing is for sale. This page exists so you can hear the first release before it is advertised.
Is the approval final?
The rezoning is adopted. The county commission approved it in 2025 and enacted it as an ordinance, so what the land is allowed to become is settled. A community this size still moves through years of platting and engineering, pod by pod, before homes are actually built, but the entitlement that makes it possible is done.
Who is building it?
Nobody yet, and no homebuilder is named anywhere in the county record. The owner of record is Beverly Hills Development LLC. On a project this size the land is very likely to be sold in pods to multiple production builders over many years, and each of them will choose its own name, product and price. That is why nobody will ever announce that "Tuscany Ranch is now selling"; a first pod will simply appear under a name you have not heard, and unless you were told, you will not connect it to any of this.
When will homes be for sale?
No sales date has been announced. A community this size does not open all at once. What usually happens next is that the land is divided into pods, each pod is sold to a builder, and that builder brings a model home and a first release of homesites. The advantage of getting on the interest list now is simple: the earliest buyers hear about a first release before it is advertised, when the most homesites and floor plans are still available and before any lot premiums climb.
How much will homes cost?
Pricing has not been released, and any number you see elsewhere today is a guess. Real pricing arrives pod by pod as builders open, and the day it is posted it goes out to this interest list. For context on the area, Citrus County has long been one of the more affordable places to buy new construction on Florida's west side, which is a large part of why the growth is happening here.
Where exactly is it?
On the county highway corridor at Beverly Hills, in unincorporated Citrus County. It is county land in the wooded, spring-fed stretch of the Nature Coast rather than in a town, so a buyer would pay county taxes with no separate city tax on top. Individual home addresses have not been assigned yet, so we have not published drive times, because any mileage would be invented precision.
What is it like to live in this part of Citrus County?
This is Florida's Nature Coast, and it trades theme parks and traffic for spring-fed rivers, state forest and a slower pace. Crystal River and its manatees, the Rainbow River near Dunnellon, and the Withlacoochee State Forest are all close by, and the Gulf is a short drive for fishing and scalloping. Ocala is the nearest larger city for shopping, medical care and the airport, with Tampa about an hour and a half south. People move here for space, lower costs and the outdoors, and stay for the small-town feel.
Will there be a CDD or extra assessment?
As of today, no community development district has been established over this land, which is unusually good news on recurring costs. A district borrows for roads and utilities and repays the debt through an annual assessment on your tax notice, on top of any HOA dues, often for decades. Many large Florida master plans carry one. This one does not, at least for now, and on a project of this size that can change before homes are sold, so it is one of the first questions to ask when a builder opens.
Does it cost anything to join the interest list?
No. Joining is free, it does not obligate you to anything, and it does not create any brokerage relationship. When homes get close to release, a real estate professional licensed in Florida will reach out and can make sure you are properly represented before you ever walk into a builder's sales office, which is the single most valuable thing a buyer can line up in advance.
What does joining the interest list actually do?
It puts you on the list we notify when something on this page changes: a builder named, a pod sold, a plat recorded, a name announced, or first pricing. It costs nothing, it creates no brokerage relationship, and it obligates you to nothing. When you are ready, a real estate professional licensed in Florida can register you as represented before your first visit to a sales office, which is the one step that is very hard to undo later.
