ORLANDO, Fla., March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LGI Homes, Inc. (NASDAQ: LGIH) is proud to introduce its luxury brand, Terrata Homes, to the Orlando, Florida market with the grand opening of Saddle Hill. As Terrata Homes’ first neighborhood in the region, Saddle Hill sets a new benchmark for elevated living by combining upscale design and expansive, half-acre homesites.
Saddle Hill introduces a collection of spacious, single-family homes designed to deliver both luxury and functionality. Homes range from 2,115 square feet to 3,389 square feet with four bedrooms and two to three bathrooms, featuring single-story, open-concept layouts and flexible living spaces. A defining feature of the community is its expansive half-acre homesites, delivering a level of space and privacy that is difficult to find in the Orlando market.

Beyond the homes, Saddle Hill offers a lifestyle rooted in the natural beauty and laid-back charm of Central Florida. Located in Fruitland Park, residents are just minutes from Lake Griffin, where boating, fishing and scenic waterfront views become part of everyday life. Nearby golf courses, parks, dining and shopping provide convenience and connection, while the greater Orlando area remains easily accessible.
