Cypress Village is the largest of the deed-restricted greenbelt villages of Sugarmill Woods, a master-planned community in Homosassa, Citrus County. Sugarmill Woods was platted in 1972 by developer Jim Sanders, a partnership later tied to Punta Gorda Isles, with a concept of separate villages and a pioneering greenbelt design that placed protected green space behind the homes (Sugarmill Woods Civic Association and Cypress Village POA histories, 2026).
The village is built around the Sugarmill Woods Country Club, a semi-private golf and club facility with courses, tennis and pickleball courts, a swimming pool, and a restaurant. In 2022 a Tampa-based group, Links Golf, bought the Sugarmill Woods, Southern Woods, and Oak Village club properties and invested in restoring them, and membership grew during that turnaround (Citrus County Chronicle, 2023).
Housing stock spans the plat's whole life, from 1970s and 1980s originals through later eras, in single-family homes plus condo and townhome regimes near the club, so condition, era, and the specific product drive value more than the Cypress Village name. Fees vary by product and the club is optional, so both have to be confirmed per deed.
The pitch is greenbelt living with optional golf and a real commute: Sugarmill Woods sits at the county's southern gateway on US 19, with the Suncoast Parkway making Tampa a manageable drive. The work is decoding the product and the fees, reading the greenbelt lot, and running the era, insurance, and karst diligence before you fall for a price.
