Rolling Hills

Rolling Hills is a planned single-family community at the north end of Sugar Mill Drive, south of Mooneyham Drive, in New Smyrna Beach, FL, bordering the private Sugar Mill Country Club golf course. The city approved about 180 single-family homes here in 2024, and the final plat was approved shortly after, preserving historic live oak trees on the property. KB Home is reported to have purchased the land, closing in June 2026. As of this writing KB Home has not published a community page, floor plans, or a price list for Rolling Hills on its own website, and there are no MLS listings under the name.

No, and this is worth being careful about. Rolling Hills Estates is an established, already-built neighborhood of executive homes on acre-plus lots in Port Orange, a different city in Volusia County roughly 10 miles north. It is not new construction and it is not this project. This page is about Rolling Hills, the new KB Home community at the north end of Sugar Mill Drive in New Smyrna Beach, next to the Sugar Mill Country Club golf course. If a listing or a search result led you to homes in Port Orange, you have found the other Rolling Hills -- keep the city and the street name straight, not just the community name.

More than one figure shows up in the public record for this parcel, so here is the honest headline: the city approved about 180 single-family homes here, and KB Home's own reported land purchase describes a slightly smaller lot count, around 165. Some earlier land-marketing materials used numbers in between. We treat the approved figure as the ceiling and KB Home's reported purchase as the number most likely to actually get built, since it is the most recent and most specific figure tied to the actual builder.

The parcel was engineered and platted for single-family homes well before KB Home bought it, and the approving city action preserved a stand of historic live oak trees. There are also some site-condition flags worth knowing before you tour — see the site record section above for the specifics and how to verify them yourself.

The final plat was approved by the City Commission in mid-2024. As of this writing we have not found confirmation in the Volusia County Official Records that it has since been recorded, which is the step that legally creates the individual lots. KB Home's purchase closed roughly two years later, in June 2026, which is consistent with either outcome. Check the Volusia County Clerk of Court's Official Records search for the current status.

No indication of that anywhere in the record. KB Home is a national for-sale production builder, and its own reported plan for this site is six single-family floor plans sold to individual buyers, build-to-order, priced from the high $300,000s. There is no rental-unit component, no build-to-rent language, and no applicant entity resembling a BTR operator connected to this site in anything we found.

KB Home is the builder, based on reporting of its June 2026 land purchase. As of that reporting, KB Home's stated plan is six floor plans ranging from about 1,500 to 3,100 square feet, priced starting in the high $300,000s, with sales targeted to open in the first few months of 2027. Those figures came from press coverage of the purchase, not from a published KB Home price list for this address, and they are exactly the kind of number that moves between a land purchase and a grand opening. Treat them as the best current public information, not a locked-in price.

The site adjoins the private Sugar Mill Country Club golf course, and reporting on the land describes a share of lots with golf-course views along with walking trails; optional club membership at Sugar Mill Country Club is a separate, private arrangement, not something KB Home controls. No clubhouse, pool, or other on-site amenity package for Rolling Hills itself has been published.

KB Home's own reported target is the first few months of 2027 for sales to open, based on coverage of the June 2026 land purchase. That is a target from a builder that just closed on the land, not an announced date with a model home behind it, and new-construction timelines commonly slip. We will update this page and notify the interest list the moment a model, a price list, or a sales date is actually published.

Rolling Hills sits at the north end of Sugar Mill Drive, south of Mooneyham Drive, on the west side of New Smyrna Beach, bordering Sugar Mill Country Club — see the location section above for distances. On schools, Volusia County assigns by countywide attendance zone rather than municipality; confirm the specific address on the district's attendance map once one exists, since zones are redrawn periodically.

Rolling Hills has no confirmed price list from KB Home yet beyond the "high $300,000s" figure reported at the time of the land purchase, so here is the market it will price into. As of June 2026, the median sale price in New Smyrna Beach was around $425,000, down slightly year over year, with homes taking around 80 days to sell -- a market with more room to negotiate than New Smyrna Beach had a few years ago. Florida has no state income tax.
