It's been a busy year for IronCrest, the luxury golf course community north of Ocala
The new leadership at IronCrest and The Club at Iron Lake have had a busy 2026. The former Club Adena Ocala and nascent residential community, envisioned and developed by Canadian industrialist Frank Stronach, was sold in late January. The property is just east of U.S. 441 and north of State Road 326. The club, featuring a picturesque golf course built around spring-fed limestone quarries and a 37,000-square-foot clubhouse, immediately got a new name: Club at Iron Lake. The residential component was reshaped into a master planned, gated lifestyle community and dubbed IronCrest. In July, the community's developer, Altamira Development Company, announced that Marion County government had approved the IronCrest's Phase 1 plat, clearing the way for marketing to potential home buyers. At that time, 20 townhome units already were under construction. They are meant to be luxury, short-term rental options with access to the club's amenities, according to an Altamira news item. Equestrians here for the winter season would be possible guests. An equestrian farm community is planned for the northern part of the property, where 335 acres already are designated as part of the Farmland Preservation Area. In all, the club is set on more than 650 acres. On
