While no formal announcement has been made yet, here is what we know so far about this highly anticipated project... Developed in partnership with Four Seasons, and within the Four Seasons Private Residences enclave, plans show this new development within Disney's Golden Oak will feature 9 villas and 31 condos.
Golden Oak is the only luxury, master planned resort community being developed at the Walt Disney World® Resort. A private, gated community, this one-of-a-kind resort development blends world-class architecture with Florida’s natural environment and surroundings. The magnificent homes of Golden Oak are spread across 9 separately gated and distinct enclaves including Four Seasons Private Residences - where in addition to the Golden Oak Club, owners enjoy access to the resort amenities of the neighboring Four Seasons Resort Orlando.
The 9 villas, arranged in four clusters, will be accessed from Summer Meadow Way. A mid-rise condo building, featuring 31 units, will be accessed from Autumn Mist Lane - just beyond the private gates of Four Seasons Private Residences.
TIMELINE & ANTICIPATION
- Originally zoned for time shares, Four Seasons petitioned to change land-use entitlements for the 5-acre parcel on the northwest side of the resort to allow for residential uses in 2022.
- The expansion project received approval from the county in May 2023, following an initial filing in December 2022.
Construction is officially underway, marking a significant milestone in the development process. However, we have no timetable for when final details, floor plans, and pricing will be unveiled.
VILLAS
Renderings depict two-story villas each with a two-car garage. The 9 villas will be arranged in three duplexes and one triplex. Each villa will feature a courtyard with a private pool and we anticipate that there will be 4 five-bedroom units and 5 four-bedroom units.
CONDO BUILDING INSIGHTS
The carefully thought out and designed multi-level building varies in height from three stories on one side, six stories in the middle of the structure and nine stories at the eastern end. At its tallest point, it will reach an elevation of 205 feet. Plans show each condo will feature 3 to 4 bedrooms.
As we get a look inside, the condo building promises a luxurious living experience. The lobby area will feature open seating, an owner's lounge, and meeting space. Additionally, offices on the first floor may serve a similar function to Member Services at the Golden Oak Club. With 64 parking spaces on the first floor, including 2 accessible spaces, convenience is a top priority. It's assumed that each condo will have 2 reserved parking spaces. The parking area will also feature 3 separate bicycle rack spaces.
AMENITIES
An expansive pool area, directly adjacent to the condo building, begins with cabanas and loungers circling an interactive water feature likely designed with the little ones in mind. Go down a few steps and you’ll find a hot tub about right in the center of the pool area. The swimming pool is at the South end of the pool deck with more cabanas, loungers, and outdoor seating areas. Just to the right of the pool deck will be a terrace with an outdoor dining area and a pool kitchen.
FOUR SEASONS PRIVATE RESIDENCES
Private Residences owners enjoy private entry to the neighboring Four Seasons Resort Orlando and convenient access to its extraordinary amenities, à la carte services and recreational choices. Led by a dedicated Residence Manager, an expertly trained staff is available to exceed your expectations and accommodate the unexpected.
Resort amenities include Kids For All Seasons - a camp for children ages 4-12, a luxurious full-service 13,000 square foot spa, a hair and nail salon, Tranquilo Golf Club - a championship golf course designed by Tom Fazio, a 24-hour fitness center, three tennis courts, and access to facilities for private events. Pool offerings include The Oasis, the adults only infinity edge pool, and 5-acre water park known as Explorer Island. Explorer Island features a lazy river, a splash zone, 2 water slides, and a family pool. Restaurants, dining venues and lounges include the Michelin starred Capa, Ravello, PB&G, Lickety Split, Plancha and The Lobby Bar.
GOLDEN OAK CLUB
Golden Oak Club members have access to a dedicated Club Member Services team that assists with Golden Oak Club membership benefits, including select concierge services. Summerhouse, the private clubhouse at Golden Oak, is the centerpiece of community activities and events—as well as the home of Club Member Services.
