Yes. Brightview is a Florida-licensed builder actively constructing custom and scatter-lot new homes across Lake County — including Clermont, Mount Dora, Groveland, Tavares, Eustis and the unincorporated areas in between. Active builds in Howey-in-the-Hills (Wellington Estate, in permitting) and Eustis (Astoria, in permitting) — two of the largest plans in our catalog.

Brightview base pricing starts at $269,990 for our Cambria and Tribeca plans (1,665 sq ft) and goes to $559,990 for the 3,479 sq ft Wellington Estate — all before lot cost and selections. Lot pricing in Lake County typically runs $50K–$120K typical — Clermont and Mount Dora premium, Groveland and Eustis value. Impact fees in Lake County are usually $7,000–$13,000 per single-family home depending on city and water/sewer district.. We give you an itemized, transparent quote specific to your lot and plan at consultation.

6–10 weeks across most Lake cities. Clermont and Tavares have the smoothest building departments; HOA-heavy communities add 2–4 weeks for architectural review. Brightview handles the entire permit process — including impact fees, tap fees, and inspections — so you don't navigate the county on your own.

Both. If you already own land anywhere in Lake County, Brightview will build one of our 10 floor plans on it (see our Build On Your Lot in Lake County page). If you don't own land, we either match you with a lot we already have under contract or help you find and evaluate open-market parcels.

The big production builders push you into one of three or four floor plans inside a master-planned community 30+ minutes from where you actually want to live. Brightview builds on individual scattered lots in established Lake County neighborhoods — and value-engineers the build so you get a higher-quality home at a comparable or better price.

Lake County Schools serves the entire county. East Ridge High in Clermont and Mount Dora High lead the district. Montverde Academy is a nationally ranked private school option in west Lake County. School-zone selection is part of how Brightview helps you choose a lot — we check the assigned elementary, middle, and high school for every parcel before you commit.
