ICI Homes joins the preferred builder team at IronCrest

ICI offers thoughtful design and award-winning customizable floor plans

 

OCALA, Fla. (Oct. 20, 2026) – ICI Homes, a Florida-based custom homebuilder and one of the nation's most esteemed builders, has joined the preferred builder team at IronCrest, a gated, master-planned private club community centered around The Club at Iron Lake, an established private club in Ocala. ICI Homes is making its debut in luxury residential construction in Marion County after achieving tremendous success in other communities across Florida.

“There are places shaped by design, and then there are rare settings like IronCrest that are shaped by time, land and vision,” said Tom McCall, Chief Operating Officer, ICI Homes. “IronCrest is more than a location or exclusive club community. It will be an intimate sanctuary for those who appreciate the extraordinary. We are honored to introduce our custom collection at IronCrest.”

At IronCrest, ICI Homes is building luxury custom one- and two-story residences on estate homesites ranging from a half-acre to more than an acre. ICI Homes offers six customizable home designs ranging from 3,488 square feet to 5,271 square feet at IronCrest. The Monaco model home is under construction with completion and plans for a grand opening in February 2027.

          “The Monaco is an award-winning home design that defines luxury living by blending architectural elegance with thoughtful functionality, creating a home that is extraordinary yet livable.” said North Florida Division Manager Joe Blanco. “Every detail throughout the Monaco reflects ICI Homes’ signature ability to customize. Our approach to homebuilding is an art form, and our in-house structural and interior designers will shape and personalize the architecture so that your home is built to reflect your lifestyle.”

          The Monaco is an expansive single-story design with over 3,800 square feet of living space with four bedrooms, four baths and a four-car garage. The Monaco’s grand entry and soaring ceilings set the tone, leading into a wide-open living space designed for both everyday comfort and unforgettable entertaining. The kitchen, living room and dining areas flow seamlessly together, anchored by a designer kitchen featuring an oversized island, hidden pantry, and elevated finishes. Walls of glass open to a covered lanai, extending the living space outdoors in a way that feels effortless. The owner’s suite is designed as a true sanctuary with dual walk-in closets, a spa-inspired bath and a connected exercise or flex space. On the opposite side of the home, there are three additional bedrooms for family or guests. With ICI Homes’ customizable plans, homebuyers can build a dream home that complements their lifestyle. ICI Homes at IronCrest is priced starting at $1.5 million.

IronCrest is a master-planned private club community thoughtfully designed around the lifestyle of The Club at Iron Lake, equestrian culture and a natural landscape unlike anywhere else. The Club at Iron Lake, recognized by Golf Digest as one of the “Best New Courses in America,” is anchored by an 18-hole championship golf course routed through spring-fed limestone quarries. The fully operational club lifestyle includes a 37,000-square-foot clubhouse, dining, racquet facilities, fitness amenities, and a resort-style pool.

          IronCrest is located north of downtown Ocala, near the World Equestrian Center with easy access to Gainesville and Orlando, and shopping, dining, medical facilities, sporting, and entertainment destinations.
