Black Diamond Ranch - Lecanto, Florida

View of living room toward the lanai

Here in the rolling countryside of Florida's Nature Coast, you will find 1240 acres of privacy reserved for fewer than 800 families. You will discover 45 holes of championship golf. At Black Diamond, play is restricted but never rushed.

This members-only equity club has amenities ranging from tennis and swimming to dining and relaxed socializing.

All this is within a private, gated community just over one and a half hours from Tampa and Orlando (though it seems a world away). The Black Diamond home of Cathy and Ken Batorski is available for rental with or without golf privileges.
