Lake Mattie Preserve Estates is one of the named product lines inside Lake Mattie Preserve, a Ryan Homes community in Auburndale within the Polk County Lakes District near Lake Mattie (Ryan Homes community pages, 2026). The Estates line is marketed as the premium tier, on larger homesites with three-car garages and upgraded interior options, alongside the community standard single-family bungalow line and a townhome line.
The master plan sits on roughly 229 acres off State Road 559 and Lake Mattie Road, with preliminary plans for about 824 homes split between single-family homes and townhomes at a relatively low density, plus a network of trails and roughly 26 acres of park space within the property (GrowthSpotter, January 2024). Land was assembled by Mattie Capital Partners and the homes are built by Ryan Homes, with new construction delivering across the 2024 to 2026 window; confirm the exact lot, floor plan, and delivery date for any specific home.
Because this is new construction inside a master plan, the money is made or lost on the assessment, the dues, and the lot, not the address alone. The drivers are the annual CDD assessment that funds the community infrastructure, the HOA dues, the amenity build-out pace, and the specific lot, elevation, and floor plan, all of which have to be read from the current community documents and the builder contract.
The pitch is a Lakes District address with resort-style amenities and lake access nearby: marketing describes over seven acres of amenities including a clubhouse, pool, playground, and dog park, with Gapway Commons, Lake Myrtle Sports Park, and the broader Lakes District trail network close by. The work is the diligence: read the CDD assessment and the HOA budget, confirm the amenity build-out timing, and check the flood zone and elevation before you sign.
