Heritage Isle is a 478-acre age restricted master planned
community located in Brevard County Florida. Heritage Isle is situated within
a much larger master planned development known as Viera. Heritage is bordered
on the south by Wickham Road and on the north by Judge Fran Jamieson Drive. The
western boundary is a Florida Power right of way and the eastern border is the
Duran Golf Club, an 18-hole golf course being developed by The Viera Company and
due to open for play in early 2005.
Although Heritage Isle is approved for
2,869 homes (1140 multi-family and villa homes and 1,729 single family and duplex
homes), the present plans call for 1400 to 1500 single family homes, duplexes
and villas. Additionally, 4 story condominiums are likely to be built on the eastern border
along the Duran Golf Club. The total number of residences in Heritage Isle could eventually
grow to over 2,000 homes. The number of homes and types of homes to be built are
at the sole discretion of the developer, Lennar Homes, Inc.
The current
community design includes The Heritage Isle Club and 8 residential villages plus
the parcels along the Duran Golf Club being considered for the 4 story condos.
There is also a parcel designated for a life care facility but there are no plans
to build such a facility at this time. Each of the villages will contain a variety
of homesite sizes and product types. The first four villages are either platted
or in the engineering/approval process. They contain a mix of single family detached
homes on either 50' or 70' wide homesites and single family attached product in
buildings containing 2, 4 or 6 homes with one and two car garages. These are also
known as duplexes (2 homes per building) or villas (4 or 6 homes per building). The three
exclusive builders in Heritage Isle are presently:
Burgoon-Berger
building single family homes
Lennar Homes building single family homes,
villas and condos
Tiffany Homes building duplex homes
When completed, the model home centers for each builder can be found by following the
directional signs along Legacy Boulevard. Lennar's models are currently open and
models for Burgoon-Berger and Tiffany are scheduled to open in early 2005.
One occupant of every household in Heritage Isle must be at least 55 years
old and no one under the age of 18 may be a permanent resident. Children under
the age of 18 may visit for up to 30 days cumulative in any calendar year.
The main entrance to Heritage Isle will be off Wickham Road and will provide you with
a warm and welcoming feeling each time you enter. Currently under construction,
the entry will include:
A serpentine shaped cobblestone sign wall
on the West Side of Legacy Boulevard.
Two tile-roofed towers with wall fountains welcome you on to the Heritage Bridge
with paver accents and old-fashioned lamp posts.
A gatehouse which will mirror the tower architecture.
Landscaping
with an Old Florida theme including oaks, palms, flowers, plants, and shrubs.
The Wickham Road gates will be left open and the gatehouse will not
be attended during daylight hours until the homes in the first 4 villages are
complete and Legacy Boulevard has been extended to Judge Fran Jamieson Drive.
The Wickham Road gates will be closed at night and resident access will be via
card or radio transmitted opener. Guests will use the call box at the gate. It
is anticipated that the gatehouse at Wickham Road will be manned only during the
evening hours on a rotating 8 hour shift basis for the first few years.
There will be a secondary entrance to Heritage Isle built in the future at Judge Fran
Jamieson Drive. That entry will be arm gates only. There will be no gatehouse
or attendant at this entrance.
Although access to Legacy Boulevard is gate
controlled, the borders of Heritage Isle are not enclosed. No walls or fences
are planned around the perimeter of this community.
Legacy Boulevard is the central spine road in Heritage Isle. Legacy
has extensive berm and landscaping on both sides of the road and the median.
It will also have a beautiful round-a-bout with a fountain at the center of the
community.
An 8' sidewalk is built on the East Side of this road that undulates
with the berm, trees and plants. Double acorn street lamps on fluted posts will
shed a pleasing soft glow to the Boulevard at night. There is also a bicycle/golf
cart lane striped on Legacy Boulevard. Each village entry off Legacy Boulevard
will be landscaped and have a village sign post on opposite corners of the intersection.
The Heritage Park & Trail system will be comprised of 8 village parks, connected
via walkways and pedestrian bridges. The park and trail system and all sidewalks
are for pedestrian use only. Upon completion, there will be approximately 3 miles
of walkways and bridges connecting the parks located in each village, in addition
to the sidewalk system on Legacy Boulevard and the internal roads of each village.
The parks will have wonderful trees and plants with unique walkway designs and benches.
Each park will be a unique design at the sole discretion of the developer.
