Luxury Resort Residences for Sale
As someone who lives extremely close to Walt Disney World, I spend a lot of time there; eating in their restaurants, walking around the parks, and just generally enjoying all they have to offer. Every time I am there I have to stop and think about how lucky I am that I can sneak away for a couple of hours to take my daughter over to enjoy a few rides or watch some fireworks. It is an incredible luxury!
About a year ago, Disney started work on their newest endeavor, Golden Oak. This project is the answer to anyone who has ever wished that they could live at Disney. With that being said, Golden Oak will not only be a place to hang your hat but a truly luxurious and exclusive experience only available to Golden Oak residents.
Community Amenities
Golden Oak is offering a wonderful community that is packed with amenities and caters to adults as well as children. One such amenity is Summerhouse, a private clubhouse, that will offer fine dining, a start of the art fitness center, a spacious veranda for enjoying fireworks, a heated pool, a yoga studio, a concierge and resident reception desk, and lots of planned events like guest chef appearances and “Dive in” movie night at the pool.
Golden Oak has several different gated communities, expansive conservation areas, recreational paths and footbridges, and the Four Season Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World, with its Tom Fazio-designed championship golf course, restaurants, and spa, is within arm’s reach.
Resident Services
Walt Disney World will be carrying its commitment to excellent customer service into this project. They will be 3 categories of services offered to the residents at Golden Oak:
- Personal Services: Transportation (including airport shuttles), park tickets, dinner reservations, tee times, mail and shipping services, and party and event planning.
- Residential Services: Cleaning and maintenance including pool and lawn service, pre-arrival and post-departure services (such as purchasing groceries for arrival), and seasonal home care.
- Resort Services: On-property transportation scheduling, on‐property dining reservations, and private family events.
Residents will also receive complimentary Walt Disney World Annual Passes, Complimentary Golf Services, Extra Magic Hours, and Disney Atmosphere Entertainment.
Construction Details
The builders for each type of home have been selected. Issa Homes, CAHILL, and Goering and Morgan Construction will be building the Village size homes. These homes will range in size from approximately 3100 square feet to 3700 square feet. The Estate homes and Grand Estate homes will be built by Derrick builders, Jones-‐Clayton Construction, J. Richard Watson Construction Company, and Ray Coudriet Builder, and these homes will be between 4700 and 6800 square feet. Not all of the floor plans and home sites have been released at this time, but there are some available and waiting for new residents.
Celebration vs. Golden Oak
Many have compared this new development with
Celebration and have wondered if the concept of Golden Oak is not truly “new”. As a Celebration resident, I can say that Golden Oak is an entirely unique entity. While I love living in Celebration, it is not a resort. The majority of the people live here all year round. They send their kids to school here and work in the surrounding areas. Golden Oak will have the look of a neighborhood but is in fact, and amenity-rich, luxury resort. I would expect most people to use the residences at Golden Oak as second homes they occupy part-time.
As a real estate agent, I get to represent the best of both worlds by assisting homebuyers in either community. If you have any further questions or would like more information on the community of Golden Oak at Walt Disney World, please do not hesitate to contact me at
