The Grenelefe townhouse area is the townhome section within the former Grenelefe golf and tennis resort off State Road 546 East and Kokomo Road near Haines City in Polk County (multiple Grenelefe real estate guides, 2026). The resort sits in a wooded setting near Lake Marion, roughly forty miles southwest of Orlando and about seventy miles east of Tampa (The Real Deal, 2024).
Grenelefe was once a bustling destination with three championship golf courses, designed names including Robert Trent Jones Sr and the Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay team, plus tennis, a convention center, and condos. The courses closed over the years, and an LLC linked to Ronin Assets founder Scott House bought the former golf and tennis club for about 3.1 million dollars in 2022 from Westgate Resorts (The Real Deal, 2024). Confirm the current status of any on-site amenity before you count on it.
Because this is a section inside a large changing resort, the money is made or lost on the association and the unit, not on the old resort name. The drivers are the monthly association dues and exactly what they cover, the financial health and reserves of the association, the condition of the specific townhome, and the rental rules. Listing guides describe two-story townhomes around 1,800 square feet with three bedrooms, three baths, and a garage with golf-cart storage; confirm the exact size, layout, and association for any specific unit.
The pitch is a quiet, wooded resort-era setting at a Polk County price, with the watch item being the redevelopment of the surrounding golf land into roughly 1,900 homes under the 2024 plan (Orlando Sentinel, 2024). The work is the diligence: read the association budget and dues inclusions, confirm the rental rules, and understand what the neighboring acreage becomes before you buy the setting.
