Sanctuary at Wellness Ridge

Sanctuary at Wellness Ridge is Lennar's 55+ active adult community in the heart of Clermont's Wellness Way corridor, positioned to capitalize on the broader transformation of South Lake County into one of Central Florida's most ambitious health, wellness, and sports-tourism districts. The community sits adjacent to the planned Olympus master development — a 250-acre mixed-use project bringing elite athlete training facilities, a stadium, ice center, soccer and tennis academies, FIFA-grade complexes, and hotels to Clermont. While Sanctuary is a standalone Lennar 55+ neighborhood (not formally part of Olympus), residents benefit from the wellness ecosystem being built around them. The community is built around an amenity center designed for active retirees who want fitness, wellness, and social connection at the center of daily life. The clubhouse features a state-of-the-art fitness center, an indoor golf simulator (a relatively rare amenity in Florida 55+), and gathering spaces. Outside, residents enjoy a resort-style pool, pickleball courts, a basketball court, bocce ball, a putting green, a covered yoga pavilion, and miles of scenic walking and biking trails meandering through landscaped green spaces and natural preserves. Lennar offers two single-family home collections — the Classic Collection and the Vineyard Collection — with floor plans ranging from approximately 1,580 to 2,366 square feet. Plans include two- and three-bedroom layouts with two-car garages, designed around Lennar's "Everything's Included" approach where high-end appliances, smart home technology, and quality finishes come standard rather than as upgrades. Recent listings range from the high $300s to over $500,000, with an average list around $478,000. HOA dues run roughly $445–$456 per month. The location places residents in the Wellness Way corridor, with South Lake Hospital and AdventHealth Clermont nearby for medical care, Lake-Sumter State College a short drive away, and the active Clermont/Minneola lakefront recreation scene — including the South Lake Trail bike path connecting downtown Clermont to neighboring towns — within easy reach. Downtown Orlando is roughly 30–35 minutes east, Walt Disney World is 25–30 minutes east, and Orlando International Airport (MCO) is 40–45 minutes away. Multiple Publix locations are within a short drive, along with the developing retail core of Wellness Way itself. The vibe at Sanctuary leans intentionally active — residents who chose this community over more established Del Webb or Pulte 55+ properties did so because they want the wellness theme, the proximity to Olympus, and a newer, more fitness-forward amenity package. The community has been actively selling since 2025 and continues to release new homesites as construction progresses.
