Horizon West is thriving, and Hickory Nut Estates, a proposed 100-acre subdivision, offers a rare chance for estate-style living. Located west of Hickory Nut Lake and abutting the Lake County line, this development is near Hamlin Town Center and just east of the 2,300-acre Panther Run community, a future master-planned development on the former Showcase of Citrus property in Lake County. Additionally, a 45-acre parcel across Old YMCA Road, listed for $7.5 million, is available with plans for 19 lots.

Expansive Lots for Estate Living
Hickory Nut Estates features 40 single-family lots ranging from half an acre to over two acres, far larger than Horizon West’s typical 0.13-acre lots. About 67 acres will be preserved as open space, wetlands, or stormwater ponds, creating a serene environment. Situated west of Avalon Road and FL-429, it neighbors the completed Hawksmoor community and the expansive Silverleaf development.
Development Details
Proposed by Horizon West Investment Group and Z Development Services, Hickory Nut Estates is in the planning phase, seeking Orange County approval. No builder has been secured, and the property is listed for $16 million. Home prices will depend on the builder but are expected to start in the $800,000s and could reach $1.5 million or higher for 3,000–5,000 sq ft estate-style homes, based on Horizon West’s market trends.
Why Hickory Nut Estates?
With land scarce in Horizon West, this subdivision offers spacious lots in a prime location. Its proximity to Hamlin Town Center and major developments ensures convenience while maintaining a tranquil, green setting.
