The Final New Homes at Gran Place in Wellen Park
Gran Place at Wellen Park is where Sam Rodgers Homes brought its semi-custom craft to Venice, Florida — an intimate, gated enclave of just 42 homes in Wellen Park's Playmore District, at the southwest corner of Tamiami Trail and West Villages Parkway. Family-owned since 1968, Sam Rodgers planned Gran Place around a simple idea: fewer homes, better homes, wrapped in preserve.
That idea worked. Gran Place is now closing out, and the last opportunity here won't repeat — once the final home sells, this community is complete. If you've been watching Gran Place, this is the moment to act.
A 63-Acre Gated Community — Only 21 Acres Developed
Gran Place was designed around restraint. Of the community's 63 gated acres, only 21 were ever developed; the balance is nature preserves and wildlife habitats, so homes look out on protected Florida landscape rather than the next rooftop.
The homes themselves carry the quality construction, customized design and personalized floor plans Sam Rodgers is known for. Three semi-custom plans — Destin, Edgewater and Fort Walton — range from 2,697 to 3,127 square feet, every one with a 3-car garage.
Life in Wellen Park, Venice FL
Wellen Park is one of the top-selling master-planned communities in the United States, and living at Gran Place puts its best days within minutes. Catch Atlanta Braves spring training at CoolToday Park, spend an evening among the shops, restaurants and sunsets of downtown Wellen, or visit a different Gulf beach every day — the nearest are about 15 minutes from your driveway.
Upon completion, Wellen Park will consist of nearly 20,000 homes and 50,000 residents — a scale often compared to Lakewood Ranch, The Villages, or Babcock Ranch. Gran Place gives you all of that energy from one of the community's most private corners: a gated, preserve-wrapped neighborhood of just 42 homes.
Gran Place Is Sold Out
Gran Place is complete. Forty-two homes were planned here and forty-two were built, which is what a community with no phase two looks like when it finishes. The on-site sales centre on Home Run Drive has closed.
One home remains available and is listed by an outside brokerage rather than by us. For anything about Gran Place — that listing, a home you already own here, or what the family is building next — talk to the corporate office in Sarasota on 941.747.4131.

★★★★★
“We purchased and constructed a Sam Roger’s home and have been extremely impressed with the quality of work, thoroughness, and cooperation during the entire process. They delivered ahead of schedule and everything was in tip top shape. They have been very attentive to any follow-up details during the shakedown period of occupying the home. The design process was wonderful, and they assisted us with all of the detail options and the costs associated with them. We have built several homes over the years and this was by far the best experience we have had. The outcome has exceeded our expectations.”
★★★★★
“We have lived in a Sam Rodgers Home in GreyHawk Landing, Bradenton for the past 6 1/2 years. Our home, The Birch Model, has been, by far, the best home we've ever lived in. The quality of construction is outstanding, the floor plan is exactly what we need, and the setting is great. The construction manager who supervised the building, Clint Madden, went way over-and-above what we expected. He was AMAZING -- responsive to our needs, helpful with sub-contractors, and a valued advisor even after we moved in. A Sam Rodgers home might be a little pricier than the competition, but it's worth every penny. Everyone connected with Sam Rodgers is a "class act" and very customer service oriented.”
