Lake Martin's New Residential Offering
Step aside, beaches and mountains. Now it's all about lakeside living with some good old Alabama charm. Lennar, a heavyweight in the homebuilding scene, is opening the gates to The Oaks at Eclectic—a fresh batch of single-family homes sprouting near Lake Martin in Eclectic, Alabama. This spot is practically a haven for those who can't get enough of that sweet mix of water and woods.
A Peek Inside
They’ve whipped up four slick floorplans, coming in hot between 1,248 to 1,852 square feet with room enough to house three to four bedrooms and a couple of bathrooms. It's all about open-concept, folks—making the space feel bigger, brighter, and easier to breathe in. Throw in the mix are walk-in closets in the owner's suites for stashing all your thoughts on wardrobes, plus an Everything's Included® program, making sure those nifty features, like stainless appliances and luxury vinyl plank flooring, ain't just an upgrade dream but a given. Price tag? Just breaking into the $200,000s. Not too shabby for escaping to a year-round getaway.
The Location Game
Using your place as a diving board, it's only 15 minutes to Lake Martin. Whether boating, fishing, or just hiking up your sense of outdoor achievement, it's a hop, skip, and a jump to waterfront bliss. Amongst the sleepy charm of Eclectic’s small-town vibe, you've got local shops and eateries rolling out the Southern hospitality red carpet, while Wetumpka and Montgomery add a little more buzz with broader shopping and entertainment troves.
For Every Life's Phase
Jayson Williams, division president over at Lennar Birmingham, calls The Oaks perfect for nearly every life chapter—whether you're chasing kids around or plotting your retirement escapades. Their one-story designs mingle elbow room with low maintenance, allowing more time to bask in nature rather than shackling weekends to home upkeep.
"Lake Martin draws generations of vacationing families every summer, and now homebuyers seeking that lake-town lifestyle year-round can make Eclectic their permanent home," Williams said.
Lennar sure knows how to hit those family-centric notes. They cover the bases with diverse home options, letting anyone from fresh-faced families to seasoned retiree pros claim their stake on a slice of this Alabama pie.
