Even when Harmony is fully
completed, thousands of acres of
designated open space will surround your
home site while also providing sanctuary
for wildlife and native plant neighbors.
Harmony's
Commitment To Conservation
When
you visit Harmony, you will not find
noisy, gas-powered boats or the
intrusion of private homes along the
protected, peaceful shorelines of
505-acre Buck Lake and 465-acre Cat
Lake. Neither will you find houses
fronting our championship golf
course, the roar of car traffic in
your neighborhood, or the nighttime
glare of overlit streets or parks.
What you will discover is a
beautiful abundance of natural life,
and a charming community engineered
to strike the ideal balance between
environmental health, natural
preservation and homeowner
amenities.
An integrated part of the town of
Harmony is a 7,700 acre network of
protected habitat that is near
enough to make nature a part of
every day living yet removed enough
to provide the shelter and
separation that healthy wildlife
populations need. Among your Harmony
animal neighbors, you will find
thriving populations of deer,
egrets, owls, sandhill cranes and
many others of Florida's 1,200
indigenous species.
Harmony is also home to one of
the largest bat houses in Florida.
The first bat house at Harmony was
placed near the 8th fairway of the
Golf Preserve and has a capacity of
about 500 bats.
Under the guidance of
conservation director Greg Golgowski,
both Harmony and the Preserve are
carefully maintained to allow human
beings, natural habitats and native
wildlife to live together in a
sustainable environment. From
careful protection of our lakes to
the use of only Dark Sky compliant
streetlights, every aspect of
Harmony has been designed to observe
a balanced human-nature ecology.
Harmony's dedication to local
ecologies and Dark Sky compliance has
attracted local astronomy clubs for
night sky observing and prompted
residents to conduct regular birding
activities, trail walks, and habitat
enhancement projects.
