Welcome to Heron's Forest and your future home, a master planned community inspired by nature. The community offers a different lifestyle where neighbors live in harmony with the environment. Hidden within the lush vegetation of some of the thickest forests and nature preserves along Florida's Northern Gulf Coast, Heron's Forest homes provide privacy, security and serenity. The landscaped, divided entrance has dual security gates with owners able to open the gates from the comfort of their home for guests. The homes are separated in the back yard by greenbelts which preserve the natural ambience.

Paragon builder's open-floor plan brick home built in August 2004 and customized throughout.
Neutral decor and paint, with tens of thousands in upgrades, including ceramic floor tile laid on diagonal, crown molding throughout, upgraded cabinetry, faux panels, wine rack, built-in decorative shelving, pocket doors, custom window blinds throughout, dimmers on almost all lighting, recessed lighting in kitchen and hallways, upgraded cabinetry hardware, decorative tasteful chandeliers and bath fixtures, ceiling fans in bedrooms, and custom outdoor light fixtures, front and back. There is no "builder grade" in this house...even the toilet handles are beautiful brushed nickle custom pieces! This is a home built with "no expense spared", which now can be yours.

The home backs up to the Trout Pointe Nature Preserve with dozens of acres of animal habitat, private beach and a view through the forest to the Intercoastal Waterway.

The house also has an oversize elevated wood deck that overlooks the forest and the landscaped backyard, and is a great place to entertain and just relax next to Nature.
