Gran Place at Wellen Park is an intimate gated luxury community of just 42 single-family homes located in the Playmore District of Wellen Park near Venice, Florida. Developed by Sam Rodgers Homes, Gran Place combines semi-custom residences, three-car garages, spacious outdoor living areas, lakes, and extensive natural preserve surroundings.
Gran Place occupies approximately 63 acres, but only about 21 acres were developed for homes and neighborhood infrastructure. The remaining land was preserved as natural habitat, giving the community a distinctly private and low-density setting compared with many larger Wellen Park neighborhoods.
Homes in Gran Place at Wellen Park
Gran Place was developed exclusively with luxury detached single-family homes by Sam Rodgers Homes. During the community’s development, buyers could choose from several semi-custom designs ranging from approximately 2,200 to more than 3,100 square feet of air-conditioned living space.
Homes generally feature three or four bedrooms, flexible living spaces, generous primary suites, open-concept kitchens and great rooms, covered lanais, and three-car garages. Many residences also include customized options such as dens, offices, bonus rooms, guest accommodations, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, swimming pools, spas, and expanded lanais.
Architectural styles throughout Gran Place include Coastal, Florida, and West Indies-inspired designs, creating a varied streetscape while maintaining a cohesive upscale appearance.
Because Gran Place is now essentially complete, future availability will primarily consist of resale homes rather than traditional to-be-built opportunities.
