Inside Casabella
Casabella at Windermere stands as a completed luxury enclave in northwest Orange County, developed by Toll Brothers between 2013 and 2019. All 79 homes are now in the resale market, making it a closed community rather than an open development. Each Mediterranean-style estate sits on a minimum half-acre lot, with homes ranging from 3,100 to 6,900 square feet and featuring 4 to 8 bedrooms. The architectural palette reflects classical Mediterranean design: tile roofs, stucco exteriors, brick paver driveways, and carefully orchestrated landscaping that varies by homesite.
What distinguishes Casabella from many newer Central Florida developments is the absence of Community Development District fees, a significant advantage over recently built master-planned communities that often charge $1,500-$3,500 annually. HOA fees range from approximately $480 to $1,450 per year, depending on individual property lot size. These fees support gated-entry maintenance, road upkeep, common-area landscaping, two central ponds, and a community park overlooking the northern pond. The community’s buyer profile typically targets high-net-worth individuals seeking established luxury without ongoing district assessments.
Casabella’s prime location on West Lake Butler Boulevard provides immediate access to the Butler Chain of Lakes for boating and water recreation. Casabella falls inside Orange County Public Schools, with the assigned elementary about 2 miles away, the middle school 4.7 miles, and the high school 4.6 miles. Zoning is assigned by address rather than by subdivision, so check the specific property with the district. Nearby amenities include Winter Garden Village, the Mall at Millenia, and Restaurant Row in Dr. Phillips-all within minutes. Downtown Orlando and theme parks are accessible via SR 429 and the Florida Turnpike, typically 15-20 minutes away.
Current home pricing ranges from $2.5 million to $5 million, reflecting strong property appreciation since build-out and the community’s scarcity value. Recent sales data shows homes trading in the $2.6-$4 million range, with price per square foot averaging around $557. The community’s resale-only status and limited turnover create a tight inventory environment, making market opportunities infrequent but highly established by luxury buyers prioritizing established quality, privacy, and proximity to premium amenities.
