The moment you drive through the grand entrance of Gran Paradiso, you find yourself surrounded by gorgeous Italian-inspired homes, lush lawns, and glittering lakes. This elegant master-planned community is located just outside of Venice and it is one of the most sought after for Southwest Florida real estate.

If resort style living in a beautiful gated community appeals to you, Gran Paradiso won’t disappoint. There is something to please everyone here, from lovely villas and single-family homes to a huge free-form swimming pool and spa, a sleek clubhouse, and plenty of walking paths.

Living in Gran Paradiso 

There are over 2,000 homes in Gran Paradiso, all of which are spread out amongst the 1,000-acre property amidst towering trees, lakes, and nature preserves. Here you’ll find a great mix of real estate to suit all types of individuals and families including:

  • Twin villas
  • Coach homes
  • Estate homes
  • Executive homes
  • Manor homes
  • Townhomes

Gran Paradiso homes for sale range from 1,300 square feet up to a very generous 3,867 square feet. You can opt for two bedrooms up to six bedrooms with two to four bathrooms. Although each has a different configuration and floor plan, they all feature Tuscan-inspired design features such as impressive archways and columns.

As the owner of Gran Paradiso real estate, you don’t have to worry about maintenance because your homeowner fees cover nearly everything. The association will take care of lawn maintenance including mowing, edging, watering, and fertilizing your lawn. They will also handle pest control, exterior paint, and roof replacement.

Your HOA fees also cover maintenance of other areas and systems in the gated resort. For example, they help cover the costs of round-the-clock security, upkeep of the clubhouse, and cleaning the community swimming pool, spa, and fitness center.
