What Is Lantana at Olde Cypress?

Lantana is one of several distinct residential villages within the Olde Cypress master-planned community in North Naples. It is not a standalone community — it exists within Olde Cypress, shares the Olde Cypress Country Club and amenity campus, and is governed by both a Lantana sub-association HOA and the master Olde Cypress HOA. What distinguishes Lantana from other Olde Cypress villages is its own gated entry (a gate within a gate), its larger single-family lots relative to some of the smaller villages, and its more private, estate-like residential character.

For buyers researching Lantana, the key decision framework is whether Olde Cypress as a whole is the right community — because Lantana delivers the Olde Cypress lifestyle with a more private village setting, not a fundamentally different lifestyle. The amenities Lantana residents access are the Olde Cypress Country Club amenities: the P.B. Dye championship golf course (optional membership), the full-service clubhouse with formal and casual dining, resort-style pool, fitness center, tennis courts, and the organized social calendar of the broader Olde Cypress community. There are no Lantana-exclusive amenities beyond the gate and the neighborhood character itself.

Golf at Olde Cypress is optional — Lantana buyers who do not want golf membership pay only the community HOA fees and are never required to join or pay golf initiation. This optional structure is one of Olde Cypress's defining advantages over mandatory-membership communities in North Naples. Buyers who want golf can join; those who don't, don't. The P.B. Dye course is well-regarded for its playability and natural character, and the optional membership keeps tee sheet demand at a reasonable level.

Lantana HOA Fee Structure — Two-Layer Cost

Lantana at Olde Cypress has a two-layer HOA structure common to master-planned communities with distinct sub-villages. Every Lantana homeowner pays both a master Olde Cypress HOA fee (covering the shared community infrastructure, security, and amenity campus maintenance) and a Lantana sub-association fee (covering the Lantana-specific gated entry, landscaping of common areas within the village, and any Lantana-specific services). These two fees combine to a total monthly HOA cost. Golf membership — initiation and annual dues — is entirely separate from both HOA layers and is only paid by residents who choose to join.

Lantana Homes and Prices

Lantana homes are exclusively single-family detached residences on lots that are generally larger than those in the smaller or denser Olde Cypress villages. Floor plans range from approximately 2,500 to 4,000+ square feet with three to four bedrooms, two to three-car garages, and screened lanais. Many homes have private pools and golf course or preserve views depending on lot position. The architectural vocabulary is consistent with the broader Olde Cypress community — Mediterranean-influenced stucco and tile — but executed at the larger lot scale that gives Lantana its estate character.

All Lantana purchases are resale — there is no new construction from a builder. Buyers are purchasing from existing homeowners, which means mature landscaping, established neighborhood character, and the ability to inspect fully before committing. Update levels vary significantly among resale homes — some have been renovated with current kitchen and bathroom finishes, others are in original condition and priced accordingly. The range in condition is reflected in the price spread.

Olde Cypress Country Club — What Lantana Residents Access

Lantana residents have full access to the Olde Cypress Country Club amenity campus, which is the foundation of the lifestyle that makes the Olde Cypress address compelling. The P.B. Dye-designed 18-hole championship course is the anchor — a layout known for its natural character, strategic bunkering, and mature vegetation. Optional membership allows residents who want to golf to join; the optional structure keeps the non-golf HOA cost reasonable and avoids forcing initiation on buyers who aren't golfers.

The clubhouse includes both formal dining and a casual grill room, event spaces for member functions, and the social programming that Olde Cypress runs through season. The resort-style pool, fitness center, and tennis courts provide the recreational infrastructure for non-golf days. The community's social calendar — wine events, themed dinners, holiday celebrations, and club-organized activities — runs from November through April and provides the community connection that seasonal buyers specifically want.

Immokalee Road — North Naples' Most Convenient Corridor

Olde Cypress sits on Immokalee Road in North Naples — a corridor that has seen significant commercial development over the past decade. Founder's Square (retail, dining, and services), Seed to Table (an upscale grocery and market), North Collier Regional Park, and fast I-75 access are all within minutes. The location is further east on Immokalee than the Vanderbilt Beach Road corridor, which means the beach drive is slightly longer — but for buyers who prioritize everyday convenience over beach proximity, the Immokalee Road position is excellent.
