Altamira Development Selects Engel & Völkers Ocala for IronCrest

Altamira Development Company Selects Engel & Völkers Ocala to exclusively represent residential offerings at IronCrest, a master-planned gated lifestyle community in Ocala

OCALA, Fla. — We are pleased to announce that Engel & Völkers Ocala has been selected to exclusively represent the Altamira Development Company with the introduction of their IronCrest community, a 661-acre master planned development north of Ocala. The property is spread over rolling hills dotted with majestic live oaks, surrounding The Club at Iron Lake, formerly operated as Club Adena. The Club’s championship golf course and majestic 37,000 square foot clubhouse are perched atop a hill overlooking a former limestone quarry, now a spectacular glistening lake below dramatic, jagged cliffs. A select few home sites will be made available to prospective buyers in a private offering prior to public release, planned in early fall.

Golf Course Aerial Vista Clubhouse

The plat for the community was recently recorded, allowing the introduction of the home sites to the market for the first time in the history of the project. The property, encompassing over 1,270-acres, was acquired by Oculus R Golf LP in January 2026. The new ownership group has established Altamira Development Company to lead the development of the project and has taken immediate steps to reenergize the Club and bring over 200 luxury, builder-ready home sites to market.

Whether you are focused on building your forever home, creating a seasonal retreat, or securing your place in a unique lifestyle community, during this limited release you can be among the first to preview this unique opportunity.

An accomplished group of custom builders has developed exciting home plans that will be offered at IronCrest. First movers acquiring a home site will have the opportunity to preview a wide range of potential models to find one that suits their needs and lifestyle.

Twenty luxury townhome units are currently under construction on the property. This four-building complex, featuring a luxury pool amenity, is perched on a hill high above the 1st and 9th holes adjacent to the clubhouse. Engel & Völkers is privileged to present these exquisite properties selectively to the market during the construction.

This is more than an invitation to purchase property. It is an opportunity to become part of the next chapter of a remarkable community that will set a new standard in Ocala.
