Carefully considering every blade of grass, each tree, and the natural rise and fall of the ground, Boyd Development has masterfully crafted Ocala's most naturally blessed place to live.

Boyd Development, the exclusive developer for Bellechase, took great pleasure in working in concert with Mother Nature. Plans were developed in accordance with the City of Ocala, but always with consideration for the effect on the natural features of the land.

Bellechase features a dynamic topography with 70 feet of fall, dense wooded areas, and several natural preserves for birds and wildlife. Boyd Development planned lanes and pathways to avoid clearing trees and disturbing habitat. A 75-foot wooded buffer separates Bellechase from the bordering scenic roads.

The resulting effects are breathtaking views and serene harmony with nature.

Foliage that had to be removed for home site development is restored to a natural state as much as possible under the direction of landscape architect Michael Pape. And special touches like old-fashioned gas streetlights enhance the beauty of Bellechase.

Bellechase is owned by B-T One, a joint venture between Boyd Development and TECO Properties. Thad Boyd, president of Boyd Development, is a native of Ocala and firmly established in the community. Having the subsidiary of TECO Energy involved has added further blessings to the environment, including an emphasis on natural gas for energy needs.

The know-how of a successful local developer and the resources of a utilities giant unite to make your home one of unrivalled natural beauty.
