Owl’s Head Farms in Freeport, FL. officially broke ground on Thursday, July 1. The construction on the first set of 660 DR Horton homes is set to be complete by Summer 2022. This is the first phase of the 1,000-acre development. 

The community and local dignitaries gathered to celebrate the official groundbreaking ceremony. The Army National Guard was also at the event and raised the 25-foot American flag that will permanently fly over the Owl’s Head Farms community.

“I would like to thank everyone who came out and attended the groundbreaking ceremony,” said Doug Duncan, investor in Owl’s Head Farms. “This moment was 15 years in the making so it was so nice to see the community come together and celebrate our country and a new development that will be a great asset for our area and future residents.”

Owl’s Head is located along Highway 331 and sits on the east and west side of the highway and is surrounded by undevelopable, protected land. The property was previously a sod farm and historically an American Indian territory.
