Gatherpoint by Pulte Homes redefines community and connection in Ave Maria
Gatherpoint by Pulte Homes is more than a neighborhood in Ave Maria. It’s a true community designed to foster meaningful social connections with private resort-inspired amenities, a multigenerational lifestyle and new-construction homes. Here, residents find their days and nights filled with activity and friendships, supported by the craftsmanship and quality of Pulte Homes, one of the nation’s most recognized and trusted homebuilders for over 70 years.
Spanning 328 acres, Gatherpoint provides opportunities to own a thoughtfully designed home in a community where “gathering” is more than just a name — it’s a way of life. Its lifestyle is anchored by an expansive waterfront amenity campus created for residents of all ages. Imagine weekends by the resort-style pool, competitive matches on one of six pickleball courts or casual evenings on the event lawn with food truck parking. The grand clubhouse serves as the community’s social heart, offering a state-of-the-art fitness center with a dedicated children’s play zone, game rooms and a bar and grill for both indoor and alfresco dining.
“Pulte Homes has a long-standing reputation for creating vibrant neighborhoods centered on a rich quality of life. Gatherpoint is designed specifically to bring people together,” said Josh Graeve, president of PulteGroup’s Southwest Florida Division. “By expanding in Ave Maria, we’re meeting the high demand for new construction while debuting innovative designs tailored for how people live today.”
Gatherpoint offers an array of 947 new homes, from low-maintenance two-story townhomes and attached garden villas to two collections of single-family homes for all life stages. Situated next to the new Ave Maria Elementary School, opening for the 2026-27 school year, the neighborhood follows Pulte’s success at Avalon Park in Ave Maria, one of the nation’s 25 top-selling master-planned communities.
Consisting of two distinct parcels with the majority of home sites nestled along lakes, Gatherpoint has two gated entrances. It also sets a new benchmark as Ave Maria’s first natural gas community for all single-family homes and garden villas, an exciting feature preferred by professional and home chefs.
With sales now underway and professionally decorated model homes open, Gatherpoint invites buyers to preview its unique lifestyle and explore 16 home designs, including brand-new floor plans and architectural elevations. Appealing to families of all sizes as well as empty nesters, retirees and full-time and seasonal residents, Pulte’s four collections of homes feature single- and two-story plans offering two to seven bedrooms and two to six-and-a-half baths in 1,448 to 5,363 square feet under air with one- to three-car garages.
Buyers will discover a selection of Pulte’s all-new AllGen home designs created for multigenerational families. Ideal for older parents, adult children or guests, the flexible plans feature full suites with a living area, kitchenette, separate bedroom, bathroom and walk-in closet. All homes at Gatherpoint boast energy-efficient and smart-home technology features, impact-resistant windows and glass doors, and solid-built concrete and steel reinforced construction engineered to withstand 160 mph windspeeds. New homes for sale start at $299,990.
Floor plans emphasize sought-after open-concept living, where light-filled gathering rooms, modern kitchens and cafés blend seamlessly to create the ultimate space for entertaining and every-day living. Kitchens feature freestanding and peninsula islands and pantry closets while patios and covered lanais capture Florida’s celebrated outdoor lifestyle. First- and second-floor owner’s suites have spacious walk-in closets and private bathrooms with glass showers and dual-sink vanities. Two-story homes boast large lofts for additional gathering space.
Buyers at Gatherpoint can personalize their homes to their preferences with options for extending patios, lanais and garages, enclosing flex rooms and expanding indoor-outdoor connections with pocketing or zero-corner sliding glass doors.
A welcoming hometown 90 minutes from Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale and two hours from Miami via Interstate 75, Ave Maria is a growing community offering a charming blend of stores, restaurants and amenities, plus must-attend festivals, parades and community gatherings. The Town Center is a favorite spot for dining, shopping and entertainment, offering a mix of local flavor and friendly service. Parks, miles of trails, playgrounds, a water park and Ave Maria University also add to the town’s multigenerational appeal.
“Whether you’re heading to the Atlantic coast for a weekend getaway or commuting for business, Ave Maria’s location provides convenient access to both coasts without sacrificing the tranquility of small-town living,” said Graeve.
Residents enjoy a golf cart-friendly lifestyle and proximity to healthcare, recreational and cultural attractions, dynamic nightlife and top-rated schools. Ave Maria is also close to Gulf beaches in Naples and offers a growing range of jobs across education, healthcare, hospitality and logistics. The town recently expanded by 1,000 acres, paving the way for additional homes, retail spaces and a second town center.
