The 60-Second Overview
Oasis at Hammock Dunes is the answer to a question luxury buyers in the Hammock have been asking for years: can I still build new here? The answer is yes, in exactly one place, and only 33 times. ICI Homes, a Florida builder with more than 45 years of custom work, is the exclusive builder of this enclave in the Hammock corridor, with plans running roughly 2,737 to 3,916 square feet and recent from-pricing around $1.099M, confirm current releases, because builder pricing moves.
The positioning matters: nearly everything else at this tier in the Hammock Dunes orbit is resale, two-decade-old towers and custom estates with two decades of history to underwrite. Oasis is the one door where the warranty starts at closing, the finishes are chosen rather than inherited, and the homeowner gets the preferred opportunity to join the Hammock Dunes Club, the oceanfront Fazio Links course and the Rees Jones Creek course, on optional terms.
Thirty-three homesites, one builder, no second phase. When Oasis sells out, the new-construction window in the Hammock Dunes orbit closes with it.
Scarcity is the thesis, and builder process is the discipline. New-community purchases run on the builder's contract, the builder's timeline, and the builder's design studio, all of which reward buyers who walk in represented. We work Oasis on your side of the table: current release pricing verified in writing, the option math priced before the studio appointment, and the community documents read before anything is signed.
Pricing & Fees, Honestly
Start with the from-price and keep going. Recent builder pricing has run about $1.099M at the base, and the real contract adds three layers: the lot premium (preserve, corner, and oversized homesites carry real spreads), structural options (extended lanais, bonus suites, casitas, summer kitchens), and design-studio selections, which at this tier routinely add six figures. The honest budget is the all-in number, and we put it in writing before our clients fall in love with a floor plan.
The recurring stack needs the same discipline. A community association will govern the enclave, confirm the current assessment, what it maintains, and the budget behind it, and the tax bill deserves a line-item read: the Hammock Dunes orbit includes the Dunes CDD for some communities, so verify whether and how any non-ad-valorem assessment applies to an Oasis parcel before contract, not after. Barrier-island insurance, wind and flood, gets quoted early; on new construction the build code helps the premium, but the quote still belongs in the budget on day one.

Get the numbers →The Builder: ICI Homes, Exclusively
One builder controls all 33 homesites, which makes the builder evaluation the community evaluation. ICI Homes brings more than 45 years of Florida building and a reputation built on customization latitude: base plans are starting points, and structural changes that production builders refuse are part of ICI's normal process. For buyers who want a near-custom home without the full custom-build timeline and risk, that is the appeal.
The discipline points are the standard new-construction set: the contract is the builder's paper, so deposit schedules, escalation language, timeline remedies, and what happens if appraisal falls short all deserve review before signing; the design studio is a profit center, so we benchmark option pricing against market cost; and the build gets independently inspected at the phases that matter, pre-pour, pre-drywall, and final, because new does not mean flawless. None of this is adversarial, ICI builds a good house, it is simply how a represented buyer signs a builder contract.
Buying new construction? Builder representation costs you nothing and changes the contract you sign.
Get represented →The Club: Preferred Access, Optional Terms
Oasis homeowners receive the preferred opportunity to join the Hammock Dunes Club, one of the few private oceanfront country clubs in Florida: the Tom Fazio Links course on the dune line, the Rees Jones Creek course threading a 690-acre preserve, and a clubhouse program holding Platinum Club of America and Distinguished Emerald Club designations. Membership is optional, an equity category has run around $90K, and current initiation, categories, and dues should be confirmed directly with the membership office before they enter your math.
Optional is the structural advantage: the golfer adds the club to the spreadsheet, the beach-walker does not, and nothing in the Oasis carry forces the decision either way.
The Homes
Plans run roughly 2,737 to 3,916 square feet, single-family luxury scaled for the Hammock: great rooms opening to lanais, owner suites sized for a primary residence, and the option list, casitas, bonus suites, summer kitchens, that converts a base plan into the house the lot deserves. ICI's structural flexibility means two neighboring homes from the same plan can finish meaningfully differently, which will eventually make Oasis resales interesting to comp, and makes the original option choices worth making for the long hold, not the brochure.
Homesite selection is the other half: preserve exposure, orientation, and lot width drive both daily life and eventual resale, and the best lines go to the earliest buyers. With 33 total, every release is a real decision.
Schools
The Hammock typically feeds the Old Kings Elementary, Indian Trails Middle, Matanzas High pattern, and Oasis will draw both primary-residence families and second-home builders. The school run uses the toll bridge or Old Kings Road, so test the morning timing. Verify current assignments and ratings directly with Flagler Schools; new communities especially deserve a zoning confirmation rather than an assumption.

What buyers actually ask:
How long will construction be around me?
With 33 homesites and one builder, the construction era is short by master-plan standards and has a hard end: sell-out. Early buyers live near active builds for a season; late buyers arrive to a finished enclave at later-release pricing. Both trades are rational, pick yours deliberately.
Can I rent the home?
Confirm the community documents before underwriting anything; new-enclave declarations at this tier typically restrict short-term rental activity, and the written rules, not assumptions, are what bind you.
How close is the beach, really?
The Hammock's public walkways are minutes away by car or bike, and the broader corridor is the quietest beach stretch in the county. Oasis itself is not oceanfront; it is the new-build enclave in the oceanfront orbit.
What about storms and insurance?
It is a barrier-island corridor address: wind and flood get quoted in diligence. New construction built to current code typically prices meaningfully better than the corridor's older stock, get the quote anyway, on day one.
5 Mistakes Buyers Make at Oasis
The expensive ones:
Walking into the sales office unrepresented
The sales team works for the builder. Buyer representation typically costs you nothing and changes the contract, the incentives, and the option math.
Budgeting the from-price
Lot premium, structural options, and design studio routinely add 20-40%+ at this tier. The all-in number is the budget; get it in writing first.
Skipping independent inspections
New means warrantied, not flawless. Pre-pour, pre-drywall, and final inspections by your inspector, not just the county, every build.
Not reading the new-community documents
Declaration, budget, and any tax-bill assessment lines are unproven paper. Read them before contract; verify how the broader orbit's districts do or do not apply.
Treating homesite selection casually
With 33 lots, the preserve lines and orientations are finite. The lot decides more of the eventual resale than the option list does.

- Get the all-in price in writing. Base, lot premium, structural options, design-studio allowance.
- Review the builder contract. Deposits, escalation, timeline remedies, appraisal language.
- Read the community documents. Declaration, budget, assessment; verify any tax-bill district lines.
- Quote insurance day one. Wind and flood on a barrier-island corridor address.
- Schedule independent inspections. Pre-pour, pre-drywall, final.
- Decide the club early. Optional membership priced from current club terms, or consciously skipped.
- Benchmark the option pricing. Studio selections against market cost, before the appointment.
- Pick the lot for the long hold. Preserve line and orientation outlast every finish choice.
Oasis is a simple thesis executed at the right address: the Hammock Dunes orbit is a resale market, and this is its one new-construction door, 33 homesites, one proven builder, and an optional world-class club. The buyers who do best here treat it like the builder transaction it is, represented, all-in priced, independently inspected, rather than the resort purchase it feels like.
We sit on your side of the builder's table. That is the whole job.
Oasis vs. the Alternatives
The honest cross-shops:
| Community | What it is | How it differs | Typical buy-in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oasis | 33-homesite ICI enclave | The only new-build door in the orbit | ~$1.1M–$2M+ |
| Granada Estates | Original Hammock Dunes estates | Mature half-acre lots inside the gates, resale | ~$1.2M–$2.5M+ |
| The Conservatory | Golf-estate community | Watson course centerpiece, build or resale | varies widely |
| Island Estates | Gated waterfront island | Deepwater docks, custom builds, ~70 lots left | $800K–$4M+ |
| Hammock Dunes | The gated parent community | Towers, villas, and estates, all resale | varies widely |
| Toscana | Gated Hammock enclave | Boutique luxury alternative in the corridor | verify current |
The verdict: buyers who want new construction with a warranty, chosen finishes, and the club option end the comparison at Oasis, nothing else in the orbit offers it. Buyers who want to be inside the actual Hammock Dunes gates buy Granada Estates resale; buyers who want a dock build at Island Estates; and buyers for whom golf is the centerpiece look at The Conservatory.

Questions We'd Ask Before Buying Here Ourselves
Six questions that decide it:
- What is the true all-in price for this plan on this lot, in writing?
- What does the builder contract say about timeline, deposits, and appraisal shortfall?
- What will the community assessment be, and what does the budget actually fund?
- Are there any district or non-ad-valorem lines on this parcel's tax bill?
- What do wind and flood quote at on this address, today?
- If the club matters, what are its current membership terms, from the club itself?
