9098 Montserrat Drive Sold for $1,450,000 in Azure at Hacienda Lakes

A Standout Luxury Sale in Azure at Hacienda Lakes

9098 Montserrat Drive in Azure at Hacienda Lakes was successfully sold for $1,450,000, representing an exceptional result in this luxury Toll Brothers community in South Naples.

Listed and sold by Marie Orlando, PA of Premiere Plus Realty Co., this highly upgraded residence became the highest-priced home listed and sold in Azure at Hacienda Lakes in the past two years.

The transaction demonstrates the importance of strategic pricing, luxury marketing and community-specific knowledge when selling a highly upgraded home in Azure.

The Property: 9098 Montserrat Drive

This exceptional Toll Brothers residence stood apart from typical Azure resales because of its extensive builder and post-closing improvements.

The home featured approximately $650,000 in upgrades, along with a premium long-lake setting and sophisticated indoor-outdoor living.

Property highlights included:

Approximately $650,000 in builder and post-closing upgrades
Beautiful long lake views
Custom swimming pool and spa
Impact-resistant windows and doors
Expanded gourmet kitchen
Built-in Sub-Zero refrigeration
Upgraded JennAir appliances
Quartz countertops
Extensive custom cabinetry
Designer dry bar
Coffered and tray ceilings
Crown molding and upgraded trim
Solid-core interior doors
Custom exterior lighting
Professionally enhanced landscaping
Luxury indoor and outdoor living spaces

These improvements made it especially important to position the home based on its individual quality rather than relying solely on square footage or neighborhood averages.

The Challenge: How Do You Price a Highly Upgraded Azure Home?

One of the challenges when selling in Azure at Hacienda Lakes is that two homes with similar floor plans can have substantially different values.

Homes can differ based on:

Homesite and view. Long lake, preserve and interior locations can affect buyer demand.

Structural options. Toll Brothers offered numerous structural choices that can materially change a home’s functionality and value.

Pool and outdoor living. Pool design, decking, screen enclosures and outdoor improvements can distinguish one property from another.

Interior selections. Cabinetry, appliances, flooring, millwork and post-construction improvements can represent a significant investment.

At 9098 Montserrat Drive, the extensive improvements required a marketing strategy that communicated the home’s complete value rather than allowing buyers to view it simply as another Azure resale.

The Marketing Strategy

My goal was to make buyers understand why 9098 Montserrat Drive was different.

The marketing emphasized the property’s premium lake setting, extensive upgrades, luxury finishes and indoor-outdoor lifestyle while positioning the home appropriately against competing inventory.

The strategy included:

Strategic pricing and market positioning
Professional real estate photography
Luxury property video
Extensive online exposure
Zillow Showcase marketing
Enhanced real estate portal exposure
Digital and social media marketing
Buyer and Realtor outreach
Showing feedback and follow-up
Offer and contract negotiation
Transaction management through closing

Rather than marketing the property solely on bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage, the campaign focused on the quality and value behind the home.

The Result: SOLD for $1,450,000

9098 Montserrat Drive
Azure at Hacienda Lakes — Naples, Florida
SOLD: $1,450,000

The property became the highest-priced home listed and sold in Azure at Hacienda Lakes during the previous two years.

For Azure homeowners, this transaction provides an important example of how a highly upgraded property can be positioned within the upper end of the community’s resale market.

It also demonstrates why automated home valuations and simple price-per-square-foot comparisons may not tell the complete story when evaluating an upgraded Azure residence.

What This Sale Means for Azure Homeowners

If you own a home in Azure at Hacienda Lakes, your property’s value may depend on considerably more than its model or square footage.

I look at factors including:

Toll Brothers floor plan
Structural options
Homesite
Lake or preserve exposure
Pool and outdoor living configuration
Kitchen and appliance upgrades
Interior finishes
Post-construction improvements
Property condition
Current Azure inventory
Recent comparable sales
Current buyer demand

Understanding these differences is particularly important when preparing an upgraded Azure home for sale.
