Homes in Preserve at Deer Lakes are offered in three distinct floorplans — the Denver, Montpelier, and Richmond — ranging from 3,428 to 4,903 square feet with 5 bedrooms, up to 5.5 bathrooms, and 3-car garages on every plan. The Denver is a striking single-story design at 3,428 square feet while the Montpelier at 4,290 square feet and the Richmond at 4,903 square feet offer two-story layouts with dramatic architectural detailing, volume ceilings, and exterior elevations that make a statement from the street.

Preserve at Deer Lakes represents K. Hovnanian’s vision for what luxury new construction in Seminole County should look like. The community was developed on land adjacent to the Lower Wekiva River Preserve State Park corridor, giving it a natural buffer and wooded backdrop that is simply not replicable in more urbanized neighborhoods. With just 31 total homesites on a single private street off W. Florida 46, this is intentionally a small, curated community — not a sprawling subdivision — and that exclusivity is a significant part of its appeal for buyers who want space, privacy, and neighbors of similar sensibility.
New construction communities like Preserve at Deer Lakes frequently see a significant number of transactions occur directly through the builder’s sales office alongside or before MLS activity — a standard dynamic in the new construction market. Current MLS data reflects active listings ranging from approximately $1,199,990 to $1,433,650, with homes offering 5 bedrooms and 3.5 to 5.5 bathrooms across 3,428 to 4,903 heated square feet. All homes are 2026 new construction. K. Hovnanian also periodically offers builder incentives on select homes — including flex cash toward closing costs, rate buydowns, or design upgrades — making it worthwhile to work with an experienced buyer’s agent who understands how to negotiate effectively within a new construction environment.
Preserve at Deer Lakes is located off W. Florida 46 near the I-4 and SR-417 interchange, placing residents within approximately 35 minutes of downtown Orlando, 20 minutes of Lake Mary, and easy reach of Sanford International Airport, the Seminole Towne Center, and the charming waterfront dining scene along Lake Monroe in historic downtown Sanford. Families will find access to some of Seminole County’s top-rated public schools, and the surrounding nature preserves and state parks offer unmatched outdoor recreation just minutes from the front gate.

Gated Entry
Preserve at Deer Lakes is a fully gated community, providing residents with privacy, controlled access, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing exactly who enters the neighborhood. The entrance is framed by stone columns and mature landscaping, setting the tone for the community the moment you arrive on Marina Louis Point.
Estate-Sized Homesites
Lots at Preserve at Deer Lakes are significantly larger than what buyers typically encounter in newer Seminole County developments.

3-Car Garages
Every floorplan at Preserve at Deer Lakes includes a 3-car garage as standard — a feature that is increasingly difficult to find in luxury communities where land constraints often force builders to compromise on garage capacity. Whether for vehicles, storage, or a workshop, the extra bay adds practical long-term value that buyers consistently prioritize.

Hovnanian’s designer-curated Looks® interior packages, ensuring a cohesive and elevated aesthetic from the moment you walk through the front door.
Extra Suite Available
Select floorplans offer an optional extra suite — a versatile space that can function as a guest suite, in-law quarters, home office, or multi-generational living space. For buyers with extended family or frequent visitors, this option adds significant flexibility that holds its value over time.
Pond Views and Nature Preserve
A serene pond anchors the eastern side of the community while a natural preserve borders the property on multiple sides, giving many homesites water views, wooded backdrop views, or both. This natural setting is a defining feature of Preserve at Deer Lakes and one that simply cannot be replicated in more densely developed communities throughout Sanford and the surrounding area.

Families relocating to this community have access to highly regarded elementary, middle, and high school options that are a significant draw for buyers with school-age children. Buyers should verify current school zoning directly with Seminole County Public Schools as attendance boundaries can change.
Prime Location
Positioned off W. Florida 46 with direct access to both I-4 and SR-417, Preserve at Deer Lakes offers an exceptional commute profile for a community that feels so private and tucked away. Downtown Sanford, Lake Mary, Heathrow, and the greater Orlando metro are all within comfortable reach, making this location one of the strongest selling points the community has to offer.
