The Villages of Citrus Hills is Citrus County's premier master-planned golf, country club, and active adult retirement community, spanning more than 3,800 rolling hilltop acres along the Central Ridge across Hernando and Lecanto, Florida (Welcome Center at 2400 North Terra Vista Boulevard, Hernando, FL 34442; POA Office at 2480 North Heritage Oaks Path, Hernando, FL 34442). Established in 1982 and governed under Florida Statutes Chapter 720 by Citrus Hills Property Owners Association, Inc. (Florida Sunbiz Non-Profit Doc# 762601, Active) alongside gated village sub-associations such as Terra Vista Property Owners Association, Inc. (Sunbiz Doc# N94000004801, Active), the community encompasses 15 distinct gated and non-gated neighborhoods—including Terra Vista, Brentwood Farms, Celina Hills, Belmont Hills, Kensington Estates, and Clearview Estates—offering custom single-family homes and maintenance-free attached villas perched up to 245 feet above sea level in a non-evacuation, non-flood zone.

Community life centers on Citrus Hills Golf and Country Club's world-class private resort amenities, highlighted by the 50,000-square-foot BellaVita Spa and Fitness Center (2125 W Skyview Crossing Dr, Hernando, FL 34442—featuring an enclosed indoor heated lap pool, whirlpool spa, racquetball courts, a full-service day spa, and 90+ weekly group fitness classes), 54 holes of championship golf across three 18-hole courses (Skyview, The Oaks, and The Meadows), eight Har-Tru clay tennis courts, lighted pickleball complexes, a dedicated Activity Center auditorium and dog park (240 W Fenway Dr), and three private restaurants (The Skyview Restaurant, The Grille, and The Tiki Bar). Because all single-family residences and maintenance-free villas are owned fee-simple on deeded Citrus County parcels, primary-resident seniors qualify to file with Citrus County Property Appraiser Cregg E. Dalton, CFA, MBA for Florida's $50,000 Homestead Exemption, the 3% Save Our Homes assessment cap and portability, the Additional $50,000 Senior Homestead Exemption (ages 65+), and F.S. 196.081 disabled veteran tax exemptions.
