Set within a private gated enclave named Abby Road within the 90-acre resort property, the Estate Villas will offer semi-custom homes and will feature expansive views and options to personalize selections and home configurations. The residences are designed to deliver hassle-free living with privacy and up to 4,000 square feet of living space.
