About Black Diamond Florida Real Estate
The Black Diamond development is a nature preserve with an abundance of wildlife. On any given day, residents may come across fox-squirrels, rabbits, foxes and bobcats, as well as a variety of avian species. The setting itself, on the flowing, undulating hills of Lecanto, Florida has been kept in large part in its natural original state. Majestic old oaks shade the well-manicured, verdant lawns of the elegant homes. There are also two retired limestone quarries that in the 1960’s provided the roadbed for Interstate 75. These extensive excavations add an unusual and spectacular dimension to the natural beauty of this enclave.
Amenities

There is so much more to what you get when you purchase real estate in Black Diamond Florida.
Golf Courses
There are, as one might expect of a top end golfing community, a well-stocked pro shop, a chippings green, a putting green and an extensive driving range with three teeing grounds. And finally, we get to the crowning jewel of Black Diamond Ranch. Three jewels in fact. Three fabulous golf courses designed by premier golf course architect, Tom Fazio. There is the nine-hole Highlands Course with its challenging, sometimes uphill play. This course, with greens soft enough to hold approach and fast enough to thrill, can be played in tandem with the front nine of either of the other two courses.
Next, we have the 18-hole Ranch Course, which blends into the natural contour of the terrain. The Ranch course is a challenging course, requiring strategic tee placement with narrowing fairways, protected by bunkers and dotted and bordered by native vegetation. It is a favorite of many residents. Now, we come to Black Diamond Ranch’s Quarry Course, indisputably, the most spectacular course in Florida. The Quarry ranks as a top 100 golf course. The first 12 holes offer challenging changes in elevation that require strategic play, as well as accurate judgment in order to avoid numerous treacherous bunkers. Holes 13 to 17 surround intimidating 80-foot cliffs that may either be played cautiously around their edges or with courageously long wood shots across the void. However, be aware that many a golf ball has found a permanent home at the bottom of the Quarry Course.
