Affordable Luxury at the Resort Gateway
Ingram Village suits buyers who want to be "close to it all" but tucked away from the seasonal tourist traffic.
Two Builders: D.R. Horton is the builder selling new homes here now (October 2026), both townhomes and single-family homes. Insight Homes built energy-efficient single-family homes here earlier, and those come up as resales.
Rural Charm meets Modern Tech: Despite its rural setting, the new construction in Ingram Village is highly advanced. Homes come standard with smart-home technology, integrated security features, and some of the highest energy-efficiency ratings (low HERS scores) in the state.
Preserved Open Space: The community design prioritizes a "not-so-crowded" feel, featuring a central community pond and significant acreage dedicated to green space and privacy between homesites.
