 Sugarmill Woods is a 7,000-acre, deed restricted community in Citrus County, Homosassa, Florida.
Sugarmill Woods was the first residential community in the world to recognize environmental and ecological concerns. One-third of Sugarmill Woods' acreage was left as natural greenbelts.
The concept for Sugarmill Woods was easy to summarize: All homes will back to either wilderness common area or a golf course.
Beautiful oak and pine trees, native palms and cactus, 50 species of birds, and a natural habitat for the gopher tortoise, white-tailed rabbit, fox squirrel, deer, raccoon, fox, bobcat and an occasional black bear make Sugarmill Woods a haven of natural serenity and a model residential community where nature and man live together in harmony.

Residents literally hail from the four-corners of the world and find Sugarmill Woods a great place to call home.
On Florida's Nature Coast There's a quiet place--as in no crowds and traffic -- that's just 42 miles from the greater Tampa Bay area and only 65 miles from the tourist-congestion of the Orlando area. Called Citrus County, it is the gateway to the Florida's pristine Nature Coast. Seven rivers run through this uniquely unspoiled part of the state, with each one fed by crystal waters that rush up from deep underground springs. 
Mantees play in one of the area's preserves.

Championship Golf by a Champion

Hale Irwin designed the course at the Southern Woods neighborhood.
