Shortgrass at Two Rivers Homes for Sale in Zephyrhills, FL

Shortgrass at Two Rivers is the M/I Homes village inside Two Rivers, the roughly 6,000-acre master plan by Eisenhower Property Group that straddles the Wesley Chapel/Zephyrhills line in eastern Pasco County. This page covers only the M/I section; the master plan has its own page, and so does the neighboring Hammock village.

The product is M/I's Landmark Collection: tile-roof single-family homes from about 2,109 to 5,452 square feet, three to six bedrooms, two- to four-car garages, across roughly 19 floor plans as listed in July 2026.

M/I splits the lineup by lot width: Estate plans on 50-foot homesites and Executive plans on 60- and 65-foot homesites, which matches the 50-to-65-foot range the master developer shows for Shortgrass on the community map (tworiversfl.com, 2026).

Published base pricing starts at $428,990 as of July 2026, with the smaller Magnolia and Newport II plans anchoring the entry, the popular Corina III and Santa Monica in the middle, and the six-bedroom, 5,452-square-foot Grandsail III topping the range from roughly $840,990. Quick move-in homes were listed from about $619,000 to $745,000-plus in July 2026.

Included features run to quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and M/I's smart-home package, with personalization through the Tampa Design Studio (mihomes.com, 2026). Builder rate incentives were advertised in July 2026; terms change monthly, so confirm the current offer in writing.

The practical read: within Two Rivers, Shortgrass is where the larger tile-roof product lives — if you need a three-plus-car garage or a 4,000-plus-square-foot plan inside this master plan, this is the village to price first.

As always with new construction, the advertised base price is the start, not the finish: lot premiums, structural options, and design selections move the real number, so compare final out-the-door pricing, not base pricing.

Two Rivers is a young, fast-building master plan on former ranch and timber land, with lakes, grasslands, and walking trails threaded through the villages (tworiversfl.com, 2026). The Tampa Bay Builders Association named it the 2025 Best Master-Planned Community of the Year (drhorton.com, 2026).

Shortgrass sits on the side of the master plan served by The Landing at Two Rivers, a private social club with a clubhouse, wellness/fitness center, casual dining, a resort-style pool, tennis and pickleball courts, an event lawn, and a playground.

Read the fine print on The Landing carefully: the developer discloses that the club is owned by a third-party, for-profit entity, is not part of the HOA, and that membership is mandatory for some homes with separate fees and dues (tworiversfl.com, 2026). Area reporting cites a club fee of roughly $285 per month reported to begin mid-2026; confirm the current fee, what it includes, and whether your homesite carries mandatory membership in writing.

M/I's own page flags resort-style amenities as coming soon as of July 2026, so walk the club site and confirm what is actually open today versus rendered.

Commutes run west: SR 56 and Morris Bridge Road reach Wesley Chapel and I-75, with The Shops at Wiregrass and Tampa Premium Outlets roughly 20 minutes away and the University of South Florida about 23 minutes (mihomes.com, 2026). Downtown Zephyrhills and US 301 sit to the east.

This is construction-zone living for now: Two Rivers plans more than 6,500 homes, townhomes, apartments, and villas at buildout across roughly a dozen builders, so expect years of active building, truck traffic, and evolving roads.

The trade is straightforward: a new tile-roof home with club amenities and master-plan trails, in exchange for a three-layer carry (HOA plus CDD plus club fee) and heavy in-plan builder competition while Two Rivers builds out.

Get the full carry in writing per homesite: the HOA dues (aggregators report around $214 per quarter as of July 2026), the CDD assessment and any bond balance on the Pasco County tax roll (area reporting cites roughly $1,700 to $3,500 per year across Two Rivers depending on village and lot), and The Landing club fee, including whether membership is mandatory for your home and when billing starts.

Confirm which CDD covers your specific lot. Two Rivers is served by multiple community development districts, and assessments differ by district, village, and lot width, so do not budget from a neighbor's number.

Compare final pricing, not base pricing. With roughly 19 plans, quick move-ins, and monthly incentive changes, a base-price-plus-lot-plus-options-minus-incentive comparison against the other Two Rivers villages is the only honest one.

Verify school zoning by address with Pasco County Schools. M/I lists Chester Taylor Elementary, Raymond B. Stewart Middle, and Zephyrhills High as the current zoned schools while noting zoning cannot be guaranteed for a new community (mihomes.com, 2026), and fast-growing Pasco redraws boundaries.

Inside Two Rivers, Shortgrass competes directly with the other Landing-side villages: Hammock (Taylor Morrison, D.R. Horton, and Pulte on 50- to 70-foot lots), Delyle (Pulte, 50- to 60-foot), Tamarack (William Ryan and Park Square, 40- to 60-foot), Ryals Field (Homes by WestBay, 60- to 70-foot), and Fairwood (WestBay paired villas). On the other side of the plan, Creekwood (Lennar), Ackley (Meritage), Fieldcrest (Casa Fresca), and Archer and Northwater (D.R. Horton) feed The Nest clubhouse instead. Against those neighbors, Shortgrass wins on the largest plan range in the master plan — up to the 5,452-square-foot Grandsail III — the tile-roof Landmark spec, and M/I's design-studio personalization, and it gives ground on entry price, where Lennar, D.R. Horton, and Casa Fresca villages start lower. Against WestBay's Ryals Field, it is a spec-versus-spec luxury fight; walk both model rows. Outside the master plan, Abbott Square and Silverado in Zephyrhills offer lower price points and lighter fee structures, but without The Landing club or the master-plan trail network. The honest summary: Shortgrass wins on big tile-roof product and club access, and gives ground on carrying cost and on price-shoppers who do not need the square footage.

Shortgrass fits the buyer who wants a larger new tile-roof home inside an amenitized master plan, the buyer who values a private club with dining, a resort pool, and racquet sports, and the buyer who wants M/I's larger Executive plans on 60- and 65-foot homesites. It does not fit the buyer chasing the lowest entry price in Two Rivers, the buyer who wants an established neighborhood without years of construction, or the buyer unwilling to carry HOA dues plus a CDD assessment plus a separate mandatory club fee. Anyone considering Shortgrass should get the HOA, CDD, and Landing club numbers in writing per homesite, verify school zoning by address with Pasco County Schools, and run a final-price comparison against the other Two Rivers villages before signing.
