This sold listing is a beautiful craftsman-style home that offers a bit more in terms of custom finishes like quartz and a zero-entry shower. However, 225 Rawhide provides significantly more living space for a lower total price. While the home on 249 Rawhide has that desirable main-level living feel, the value proposition at 225 Rawhide is hard to ignore given the extra square footage. Both homes offer the benefits of new construction in a resort community.
This property is a true luxury estate with a massive 4-car garage and nearly double the acreage of the home for sale. It features high-end upgrades like a whole-house generator and a custom 'Costco door' in the pantry. While 257 Rawhide is clearly in a different league of finishes and amenities, 225 Rawhide is positioned as a much more attainable entry into the Lake Royale lifestyle. The price gap is substantial, reflecting the difference between a standard new build and a custom luxury home.
The home on Shaman Drive is a great example of a smaller, semi-custom build in the same community. It features very similar modern aesthetics to 225 Rawhide, including clean white kitchens and open layouts. When we adjust for the fact that smaller homes usually cost more per foot, these two are actually very comparable in value. 225 Rawhide simply offers a larger footprint for those who need the extra bedrooms and bonus space.
