NAPLES, Fla. (Aug. 23, 2016) – Construction is underway on London Bay Homes’ encore version of its award-winning Belita, a single-family luxury villa model in Lucarno at Mediterra, Naples’ premier golf and beach club and nine-time community of the year.

The 3,779-square-foot Belita will offer three bedrooms, a study, great room, dining room and a gourmet-inspired kitchen with a freestanding island breakfast bar and adjoining café, home office and walk-in pantry. The floor plan will also feature three full baths, a powder bath and a second-floor loft and wet bar with an under-counter refrigerator.

London Bay Homes’ original Belita model was recognized for Overall Excellence in Construction and Design in the $2 million to $2.5 million category during the Collier Building Industry Association’s 2016 Parade of Homes. The home sold shortly upon completion and is open for viewing through October 2016.

The new Belita model will feature a master suite with dual closets and double French doors opening to a private patio off the pool deck. The suite’s bathroom will offer a separate tub and shower, a vanity with double sinks, and a private water closet.

The model’s two guest suites are located on the second floor and will have walk-in closets and private full baths.

The Belita will feature an open floor plan that flows into adjoining alfresco spaces from sliding glass doors in the café and great room. The expansive covered outdoor living area will offer a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, custom pool and spa.

The Belita will offer 5,142 total square feet, including covered living areas, entry porch, and a three-car garage.

London Bay Homes is the exclusive builder in Lucarno, a neighborhood reminiscent of a European village with its cobblestone streets, fountains and 71 lakefront villas.

The model demonstrates London Bay Homes’ commitment to Private Label Living, a guiding philosophy of quality, luxury, attention to detail and personal expression.

The company and its affiliates manage all new home sales and marketing for Mediterra, internationally lauded as a Distinguished Emerald Club and currently ranked among the top 10 communities worldwide by BestRetirementDestinations.com.

A leader in the Southwest Florida home market for 26 years, London Bay Homes has been named America’s Best Builder by Builder magazine and has earned more than 300 industry awards.

The company uses the latest information, products and technology available in building science, including the BEP Blue Barrier system that protects against mold issues and structural damage from moisture intrusion.

The 1,700-acre community offers an array of lifestyle amenities, including The Club at Mediterra, ranked as one of the top private clubs in the world by BoardRoom magazine. The club features two world-class Fazio-designed courses and the private 10,000-square-foot Beach Club on the Gulf of Mexico, featuring an elevated swimming pool, casual dining with a full bar, and valet service for beach chairs, umbrellas, and beverage and food menus.

Mediterra’s onsite amenities include themed neighborhood parks; eight miles of walking and jogging trails; and a fitness complex with tennis and bocce courts, a pool and spa services.

The 32,000-square-foot clubhouse features a main dining room, club lounge and kitchen, and alfresco dining options with an exposition kitchen and chef’s table. With its two-star Certified Green Restaurant, Mediterra is the nation’s first private residential community country club to earn the certification.

The club and its finishing-hole bistro, Tavern on 18, offer relaxed and casual dining prepared by a staff of award-winning culinary experts. The outdoor Tavern features a fire pit and lounge area and serves gourmet brick-oven pizzas, seasonal salads and open-air grilled entrees.

On the links, Mediterra is undergoing more than $14 million in renovations of its North and South courses to accommodate a growing membership. Completed improvements on the North and South courses included a new irrigation system, bunkers and cart paths, as well as new turf on the South course. The North course is currently being re-grassed, and additional improvements to the driving range will be completed in fall 2016.

Mediterra’s Golf Learning Center offers indoor and outdoor driving stations, video equipment with launch monitor, a 2.5-acre short game practice complex with three greens, and a staff of certified PGA professionals.

Membership opportunities at Mediterra are limited to just 225 members per 18 holes. London Bay Homes is offering an exclusive opportunity for new homebuyers to purchase a golf membership at Mediterra without delay.

All of the community’s amenities are membership-owned.
