The history of THIS COMMUNITY is deeply rooted within the sprawling orange groves of Florida’s past, when the Chase family FOUND a uniquely bountiful landscape intermingled with tranquil lakes.
The Chase family discovered THE PROPERTY in 1886 AFTER a deep freeze devastated Florida’s citrus crop. Sydney Chase and his brother, Joshua, went in search of surviving groves when they stumbled upon an incredible island that lay AMIDST THE BUTLER CHAIN OF LAKES. Home to 1,300 thriving orange and lemon trees, the sight of such astonishing bounty moved Sydney’s father-in-law to remark, “Well, you certainly have an island of worth here.” Thereafter, this property of natural, diverse beauty nestled gently among the protected Butler Chain of Lakes has been known as Isleworth.
It was THIS SAME BEAUTIFUL SETTING WHICH CAPTIVATED the Chase family, that ULTIMATELY led Arnold Palmer and a group of investors to acquire Isleworth IN 1986, AND PLAN A GOLF COURSE WORTHY OF THE SITE. SINCE 1993, TAVISTOCK GROUP HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO fulfilling THE SINGULAR DREAM OF CREATING THE FINEST COUNTRY CLUB COMMUNITY IN THE WORLD.
