Bellanona Grande Estates Homes for Sale: One-Acre Lakefront Lots in Lake Nona

By David Myers, Broker Associate · Nona Orlando Properties Team at Ziro Realty, LLC · Last reviewed August 10, 2026 · Contact David Myers

Bellanona Grande Estates sits on the edge of Lake Whippoorwill in the Lake Nona area, off Kirby Smith Road. It is a lakefront community of one-acre lots and only 27 home sites — each home fronts either Lake Whippoorwill or Lake Bellanona, the private interior lake at the center of the neighborhood.

What that scale buys is quiet and space. What it costs is choice: 27 homes means listings here surface a few times a year, not a few times a month. If Bellanona Grande is on your list, it is worth knowing what is available before you build the rest of your search around it.

What Amenities Do Bellanona Grande Estates Residents Get?

A community dock, and that is the extent of the shared facilities — there is no pool, clubhouse, fitness center or sports court here.

That is a deliberate trade, and it is the single most useful thing to know about this neighborhood before you tour it. In a 27-home community there is no membership base to fund and maintain an amenity center, so the amenity is the land itself: an acre per home site and private frontage on Lake Whippoorwill or Lake Bellanona. Buyers coming from a large master-planned community should expect the shared facilities to feel absent by comparison, and should weigh that against the lot. Most Lake Nona homesites are zero-lot-line properties, where the house sits on or near the property line and the usable yard is minimal; an acre here is roughly five to ten times that footprint, with room the density product simply cannot offer. You can compare this directly using the Lake Nona neighborhood amenities chart.

Where is Bellanona Grande Estates and What's Nearby?

Bellanona Grande Estates is off Kirby Smith Road, east of Lake Whippoorwill, in the 32832 ZIP code — minutes from Orlando International Airport, Medical City and the 417 Greenway.

The address is on the eastern edge of the Lake Nona area rather than inside the master-planned core, which is what makes an acre possible at this distance from the airport. The 417 Greenway is close by, opening up downtown Orlando and the attractions corridor.

Recreation: the North Shore Golf Club sits in the adjacent North Shore at Lake Hart neighborhood, which puts a public course within a short drive. See the full list of golf courses around Lake Nona.

Everyday errands: Lake Nona Landing and the Publix-anchored Cornerstone at Lake Hart cover groceries and daily services. More on shopping around Lake Nona.

Schools: the schools near Bellanona Grande are Moss Park Elementary, Lake Nona Middle and Lake Nona High School. Attendance zones are set by Orange County Public Schools and can change, so confirm the zoning for the specific address rather than for the neighborhood.

What Are the Homes Like?

Custom estate homes from roughly 3,000 to over 7,000 square feet, each on an acre, with a three-car garage minimum and community-set minimum square footage.

Arthur Rutenberg Homes was the original builder. Because the neighborhood is essentially finished, most of what reaches the market is resale — but if a lot is available you can buy it and bring your own custom builder, subject to the minimum square footage and three-car garage requirements.

Two consequences worth planning around. First, houses here are individually built rather than drawn from a production floor-plan menu, so comparing two Bellanona Grande homes is less like comparing two Pulte plans and more like comparing two custom builds — condition, finish level and layout vary house to house, and an inspection matters more. Second, an acre and 3,000-plus square feet mean the carrying costs behind the mortgage — irrigation, landscaping, roof area, insurance — run well above a typical Lake Nona townhome or production home.

What Does It Cost to Own Here?

There are HOA dues but no CDD assessment, which is the exception rather than the rule in the Lake Nona area.

Who is Bellanona Grande Estates a Good Fit For?

It fits buyers who want an acre and private lake frontage without leaving the Lake Nona area; it is a weaker fit for buyers who want resort amenities, a fixed move timeline, or a low-maintenance yard.
