There are a few remaining move-in ready homes still available in Antilles, and all feature the quality and style that has made the new construction community so attractive to new home buyers this year. The amenities are complete and proving to be a great fit for the active lifestyle options they support. Walking and cycling groups are forming and the Clubhouse Fitness Center offers 24-hour access to all homeowners to accommodate their training schedules. Low monthly maintenance fees continue to be a strong selling point in Antilles favor.

Antilles offers new homes, a new community and a new way to live your best life in Naples

while surrounded by all the tropical beauty that makes the area a world class resort attraction, as well as a year round great place to live. Antilles occupies a special place among the fine communities that define Naples’ residential possibilities. It is exceptional for the serenity of its natural setting. Located off the Collier Boulevard corridor and at the far end of a long approach, it is surrounded by preserves and deeply landscaped areas to further enhance its peaceful ambience. Without through traffic or community access roads surrounding Antilles’ 54 acre site, local noises do not interfere with its peaceful atmosphere.

Additionally, the environmentally protected status of its neighbor to the west, the 110,000 acre Rookery Bay Reserve, guarantees that the balance of the area’s tranquility will not be upset by further development. Approximately one-third of the Bay’s estuarial reserve is made up of mangroves, marshes and upland habitats that offer unparalleled opportunities for local and migratory nature sightings on a year round basis. These have become topics of conversation among homeowners as well as popular photographic studies in Antilles’ marketing materials. The community’s homes feature wide and unobstructed views in all directions, broken only by a perimeter of 550 Sabal Palms installed by its developer, JMD Development.

Antilles’ completed Phase One construction included 68 of its projected 212 Coach and Low-Rise residences. Designer models of all floorplans are available daily for accompanied viewing as well as the remaining Phase One units currently available for immediate occupancy. They are upper floor Grand Coach Homes priced in the high $500,000’s for a 3-Bedroom, 2,444 square foot residence with attached 2-car Garage and large screened-in Lanai. Some Low-Rise units are also still available in 12-unit elevator buildings designed two floors over ground level parking. They have three bedroom floorplans ranging from 1,549 to 1,698 square feet under air. Priced from the high $400,000’s, each includes parking for 2 vehicles, screened-in Lanais and access to locked storage space in an air conditioned Package Room.

The balance of Antilles 212 four-unit Coach Homes will be built in a rolling construction format.

The Grand Coach Homes currently under construction will be move-in ready in February and six of them are already under contract. Priced from the mid-$500,000’s, they are Antilles largest units. Construction of smaller Classic Coach Homes will begin shortly. They are also 3-Bedroom units with screened-in Lanais, 1-car Garages and offer floorplans from 1,509 to 1,537 square feet under air. As starter properties, they will continue to occupy a significant segment of the community’s housing composition.

The community’s overall presentation is defined by elegant, West Indies Island style architecture reimagined along contemporary design lines for updated yet classic residences. Orientations include garden, preserve and water views, with Antilles’ own 5-acre Kingfisher Lake and adjacent wetland preserve providing hours of peaceful viewing highlighted by the cascading waterfall sounds of its triple tiered fountains.

The homes of Antilles feature high ceilings and wide window walls to create open, airy spaces, and are as well engineered and appointed as they are solidly built and stylishly presented.

Antilles’ standard finishes include substantial 8-foot, solid core interior doors, hurricane-rated windows and doors, Shaker style Kitchen cabinetry with 42-inch high uppers, tall baseboards, wide trims, sleek rocker style lighting switches, cove ceilings per plan, wide profile, porcelain tile flooring and subtle designer carpeting in the bedrooms. Double sink Master Bath vanities, Kohler plumbing fixtures, heavy-weight frameless glass shower enclosures and built-in custom Closet systems are standard in all units. All residences include Linen Closets, Pantries, walk-in Master Closets and separate Laundry Rooms. Quartz countertops are standard throughout, as are Kitchen island pendant fixtures and stainless steel Kitchen appliances - including on-trend French door style refrigerators. Recessed lighting and advance wiring for data, voice and video are standard. As an added benefit for its homeowners, JMD Development has included on-site guest suites for the exclusive use of its homeowners and their guests as a way to manage their occasional overflow of visitors.

Antilles’ Flamingo Club amenity center has been engineered to showcase the subtle tones and elegant architectural finishes that the community offers, which are as appropriate to a luxury resort as they are representative of the quality built into every residence. Designed to be the heart of community life, it offers 14,000 square feet of pure luxury, indoors and out. Concierge and executive services are managed here and the Exercise and Fitness Center, Massage Room and Antilles’ Selection Center are to the rear. The huge Gathering Room is about one-half of the Club’s 5,000 square foot expanse and features wall to wall views over its 9,000 square foot outdoor living area. At certain angles, the negative edge of the community’s 3,500 square foot Resort Pool appears to overflow into Kingfisher Lake and on to its adjacent Wetland Preserve like a single, stepped water feature. A large heated Spa, sun and shade Decks, oversized Tiki Hut with end-to-end service bar and al fresco seating and a pergola covered Conversation and Fire Pit complete the Pool area. Four regulation Pickleball and 2 Bocce Courts have been purpose-built away from Antilles residences as a noise consideration and a 4-hole Putting Green was recently added as a free golf amenity. JMD Development supplies all the game equipment tor its homeowners and their guests, also free of membership or rental fees.

Antilles offers the best of new construction living in a handsome and contemporary community just minutes from Marco Island’s beaches, fishing and water sports. The shops and fine dining opportunities of Old Naples are within a short drive and Goodland’s own Stan’s Idle Hour is just a buzzard lope away. Its fast growing South Naples location means newer and widened roadways offer easy access to all the area conveniences, healthcare and emergency services.
