Experience Life at Stonelake Ranch during Luxury Home Tour

Two custom model homes will be open for tours, showcasing the lifestyle and serenity of the community

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL – A new custom home model at Stonelake Ranch is opening just in time for the Luxury Home Tour. Alvarez Homes has completed a 6,113square foot home in the community, which will join the existing John Cannon Homes 7,000 square foot model as a tour highlight.

Both homes and the Stonelake Ranch Welcome Center will be open to the public from 10:00 – 5:00 on September 28th -30th, October 5th -7th and October 12th -14th for the Tour. After the Tour, guests may visit these spectacular homes by contacting the community Welcome Center at (813) 986-0062.

By participating in the tour, the development team hopes to introduce the community to homebuyers who may not have considered the area until now. “Our residents are very pleased with the location of Stonelake Ranch,” said Sales and Marketing Director John Powell. “We’re away from the noise and congestion of the city, yet only 25 minutes from downtown. It’s really the best of both worlds: access to the city center with the privacy of a house in the country.”

Located on the sprawling Lake Thonotosassa, Stonelake Ranch is minutes from the intersection of I-4 and I-75. The gated community has a guarded entrance, but behind the gates the property is as pastoral and pristine as when it was used as a working cattle and citrus ranch. A community boat ramp, horse trails, protected bird sanctuary and lakeside lodge offer residents an estate lifestyle with easy metropolitan access.

Homesites at Stonelake ranch range from 1.5 to more than 8 acres and are priced from the $400s to the $900s. The Luxury Home Tour is operated by Tampa Bay Homebuyer Magazine and Greenspring Media. For more information, visit www.luxuryhometour.net.

Stonelake Ranch is being developed by Charles Funk and Jeff Meehan, who also developed the successful Arbor Greene community in New Tampa.  Stonelake Ranch is located off the McIntosh Road exit of Interstate 4, just 25 minutes from downtown Tampa.  For more information, call (813) 986-0062 or visit us online at www.stonelakeranch.com.  The sales center is open from 10:00 – 5:00  Monday through Saturday and from 12:00 – 5:00 on Sunday.
