Village of Hammock at Fenney Homes for Sale
Hammock at Fenney is a 2021 southern-area village in Sumter County (ZIP 32163) with a natural setting distinct from most of The Villages — the entrance passes through a corridor of mature live oaks and natural springs, with the Reader Wildlife Preserve running along the village edge. Gray Fox and Red Fox Executive Golf Courses wind along the preserve boundary inside the village. Residents share the Fenney Recreation Center, Fenney Grill, and the spring-fed Fenney Nature Trail boardwalk with the adjacent Village of Fenney. Home types include Cottage Homes, Patio Villas, Bungalow Villas, and Designer Homes. CDD bond assessments vary by section — the villa areas fall in the Low tier and the home areas in the Average tier, roughly $833 to $2,656 per year, with balances scheduled to reach zero between about 2047 and 2051. No section reaches the higher southern-area bond amounts, so verify the exact annual assessment by address.

What people like about the Village of Hammock at Fenney
Hammock at Fenney is smaller and quieter than the Village of Fenney despite sharing the same amenity network. The entrance runs through a canopy of mature live oaks past natural springs — a setting that differs from the maintained landscaping of most Villages neighborhoods. The Reader Wildlife Preserve runs along the village edge, and the Fenney Nature Trail — a spring-fed boardwalk through natural Florida habitat — is accessible from within the village. This is an uncommon setting in The Villages, where most neighborhoods are built on cleared and graded land; Hammock at Fenney retained more of the original natural landscape. Bungalow Villas are a specific home type here, offered in Palmetto Bungalow, Redbud Bungalow, and Swallowtail Patio configurations — smaller footprint options not found across most of the wider southern villages.
Two executive golf courses — Gray Fox and Red Fox — run along the Reader Wildlife Preserve boundary inside the village, included with the amenity fee for walking play. The Fenney Recreation Center and Fenney Grill are shared facilities that Hammock at Fenney residents access on the same terms as Fenney residents. Sawgrass Grove is the nearest town square; Brownwood Paddock Square is also within golf cart range for dining and nightly entertainment. On carrying cost: CDD bond assessments here vary by section rather than sitting in a single tier. The villa sections fall in the Low tier and the home sections in the Average tier — roughly $833 to $2,656 per year depending on the section, with the remaining balances scheduled to reach zero between about 2047 and 2051. No part of the village carries the higher southern-area bond amounts. Bond payments are still a real annual line item on top of the amenity fee and property tax, so verify the exact remaining balance and annual assessment in writing for any specific home before making an offer.
