Eight Neighborhoods, One Gate
Our record of every closed sale here covers the whole community. This one walks it neighborhood by neighborhood. Old Port Village is the largest and the most expensive, with 22 of the community's 63 sales and a median of $6.9M. Hidden Key sits at the other end at $2.5M across 16 sales, and the village core runs between them. The three smallest groups trade too rarely to carry a median, so they show counts only.
Beaches MLS closed sales. Neighborhoods marked with an asterisk recorded fewer than three sales, so no median is shown. Every group is a single product type except the village core, where one condominium sits among nine houses.
Not All of the Water Is Equal
Both of these neighborhoods are houses, so this is a like for like comparison. Hidden Key has water on 13 of its 16 sales, the highest share in the community, and closes at $887 per square foot. Old Port Village has water on 8 of 22 and closes at $1,840. The neighborhood with less water is worth roughly twice as much per foot.
The explanation is in the rest of the table. Hidden Key homes are smaller, at a median 2,652 square feet against 4,232 in Old Port Village. Its water is lake and inland frontage rather than the deep ocean-side lots. Water is not one attribute here. Frontage type, lot size and position all price separately, which is why a single waterfront premium for the community is close to meaningless.
The Houses Are Older and Smaller Than You Expect
The median residence in this export was built in 1975 and measures 3,434 square feet on 0.46 of an acre. Of the 114 records, 84 were built before 1990 and only 11 since 2015. A community that trades at these prices is largely made of houses from the 1970s and 1980s.
That gap between what a buyer pays and what the building is worth is the whole story of the place. Our land and structure analysis found the same pattern county wide. Houses built before 1980 closed at the highest price per square foot of any age group. Old houses on the best ground outprice new houses on ordinary ground.
For a buyer this sets the real question. The choice is rarely between two houses. It is between a lot you want and a renovation you are prepared to run, or a lesser lot with a house that needs nothing.
The Club, and What We Will Not Print
The Lost Tree Club is the reason many people are inside this gate, with golf, a beach club and dining. Membership is a separate matter from the real estate, billed by the club rather than the association, and its categories and terms are set by the club.
We do not publish initiation figures or dues. They are not recorded in MLS data, they change, and a number that was right last season is a liability this one. Ask the club directly and you will get the current answer, which is the only useful one.
Association dues are a different question and they are recorded. Those are covered in the companion report on costs and inventory.
What Lost Tree Village Is Not
Two names sit close enough to cause real confusion. Seminole Landing is a separate gated community immediately north, with its own association. It recorded 11 closings since 2021 against this community's 63, at a higher median of $6.5M. Smaller, quieter, and not the same market.
Lost Tree Preserve is a different subdivision again, on the mainland, trading in the hundreds of thousands rather than the millions. It shares a name and nothing else. Any figure that blends the two is wrong by an order of magnitude.
Bottom Line
Eight neighborhoods behind one gate, and the spread between them is wider than the spread between many towns. Old Port Village at $6.9M and Hidden Key at $2.5M are the same community on paper and different purchases in practice. The houses are mostly older than 1990, the water prices by type rather than by presence, and the club is a question for the club.
What to hold on to: The gate is one address. Inside it, $1,840 and $887 per square foot are both correct.
The MLS record is not the whole record. A deed pass against the county Property Appraiser, run August 26, 2026, found 45 percent of sales here and 39 percent of the dollars closed with no listing at all.
Source data is a Beaches MLS map search covering Lost Tree Village, exported August 26, 2026. It holds 114 records, of which 63 are closed sales since 2021. Neighborhood groups combine the MLS subdivision labels that sit inside each one.
Medians print at three or more sales. Portage Landing and Seminole Beach sit behind their own gate west of the community and are excluded. Seminole Landing is reported from its own export.
