A local expert's guide to
A master-planned Colen Built community in southwest Ocala: single-family homes from the low $350s, miles of trails, neighborhood pools, an on-site charter school, and a resident membership to the FAST aquatic center. Here is a straight, no-hype look at what living here actually involves.
I don't just find homes, I engineer your wealth.
The Community
Calesa Township sits in the SW 80th Avenue corridor of southwest Ocala, built by Colen Built Development, the company behind On Top of the World. The plan pairs single-family homes with an extensive trail system, neighborhood pools, playgrounds, and open green space, plus two features you rarely find inside a single community: an on-site charter school and access to a competition-grade aquatic center next door.
Homes here are one and two-story single-family detached, organized into three collections that step up in size and price: the Artisan collection for right-sized, lower-maintenance living, the Floral collection with three-car tandem garages and more square footage, and the Arbor collection at the top of the range with split three-car garages and multigenerational HomeFlex options.
Because everything is new construction, you are choosing a plan, a homesite, and finishes rather than buying an existing house. That is where having your own representation matters. I work for you, not the builder, and there is no separate fee to you for that guidance.

Published base prices currently start in the mid $350,000s for the Artisan collection and run into the mid $500,000s for the largest Arbor plans. These are builder starting prices and change with homesite, elevation, options, and incentives. Contact me for current pricing on any plan.

The monthly HOA fee is about $155 (approximate, based on the 2025 budget year and subject to change). It includes the household membership to the adjacent FAST aquatic center. Confirm the current amount and what it covers with the community before relying on it.
Yes. The Ina A. Colen Academy, a tuition-free public charter school, is located inside the community. Enrollment is handled through the school and is not guaranteed by residency. Contact the school for current enrollment details.
Florida Aquatics Swimming and Training (FAST) is a competition-grade aquatic center adjacent to the community. Calesa residents receive a household membership included in the HOA (limit 4 per household), subject to blackout dates, adjusted holiday hours, and the community's terms.

You are welcome to bring your own representation, and it is usually smart to. The builder's sales team represents the builder. As your REALTOR I represent you: comparing plans and homesites objectively, reviewing the contract and incentives, and guiding you through inspections and closing. Ask me how buyer representation works on new construction.
