Starkey Ranch 2500 Heart Pine Ave, Odessa, FL 33556

Starkey Ranch’s final phase offers new homes amid 20 miles of trails, parks, and natural Florida beauty. Starkey Ranch is a renowned 2,400-acre master-planned community on the edge of Trinity, celebrated for its integration of nature, recreation, and upscale living. Now entering its final residential phase, Starkey Ranch presents Soleta at Starkey Ranch, a new neighborhood of 139 single-family homes situated on the last developable parcel of this community. David Weekley Homes – one of the nation’s top builders – is crafting Soleta with fresh designs to complement Starkey’s established charm. Residents here enjoy an immediate sense of community with access to all of Starkey’s existing amenities, including parks, playgrounds, a brand-new K-8 school, and a public library and theater. Tree-lined streets, acres of conservation areas, and miles of greenway trails make Starkey Ranch feel like an oasis where modern convenience meets the tranquility of nature. Homes in the Soleta phase are set to begin construction in 2025, giving buyers an exclusive opportunity to own new construction in an otherwise sold-out community

Floorplan Options

• Park Series (35′ Homesites): Efficient 3–4 bedroom plans ranging from ~1,700 to 2,400 sq ft. These homes pack open-concept living, well-appointed kitchens, and covered lanais onto manageable lots that often front or back to green spaces. Ideal for those seeking low-maintenance luxury, the Park Series offers options like first-floor owner’s suites or loft bonus areas, and all homes feature high-quality finishes by David Weekley.
• Classic Series (45′ Homesites): Versatile 4 bedroom designs (~2,100 – 2,800 sq ft) for growing families. These two-story homes boast spacious great rooms, flex spaces for a home office or den, and gourmet kitchens with large center islands. Upstairs, you’ll find generous secondary bedrooms and an optional bonus room. Owners can personalize with structural options like an extended lanai or super shower in the primary bath.
• Estate Series (55′ Homesites): Expansive 4–5 bedroom estate homes (2,500 – 3,600 sq ft) on the community’s most premium lots. These executive residences offer luxury features such as 3-car garages, media/game rooms, and deluxe chef’s kitchens with butler’s pantries. Many Estate Series homes sit on conservation or pond-view lots. Signature plans (e.g. David Weekley’s Rivergate or Tangipahoa) include soaring two-story ceilings in the family room, downstairs owner’s retreats, and ample indoor-outdoor living space to soak in the Florida sunshine

Amenities

• Resort Amenities: Soleta residents will enjoy a new neighborhood amenity center featuring a resort-style pool and cabana, along with picnic pavilions and green space. These complement Starkey Ranch’s existing community pools and splash pad for endless summer fun.
• Parks & Trails: Two new community parks are planned within Soleta, connected by walking paths to Starkey’s extensive trail network. All of Starkey Ranch links into 20+ miles of paved trails and nature paths that wind through wetlands and wildlife habitats, as well as several large neighborhood parks (for sports, dog parks, and playgrounds). Outdoor recreation is a way of life here – from evening strolls and bike rides to fishing in community lakes.
• Community Hub: Residents are steps from Starkey Ranch’s 80-acre District Park, which offers lighted baseball and soccer fields, tennis courts, and a canoe launch. The new Starkey Ranch K-8 School and public library/cultural center sit right in the community, along with a future mixed-use Town Center bringing shops and cafés conveniently close. Regular community events, farmers markets, and holiday celebrations at the park and pavillion create a lively, connected neighborhood spirit.
• Natural Surroundings: Adjacent to the Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Preserve, Starkey Ranch is rich in natural beauty. Scenic lakes, conservation woods, and wildlife are part of the everyday backdrop. A dedicated Wilderness Preserve entry allows residents to explore additional hiking/biking trails and camping areas just outside the community.
