Lost Tree Village: What It Costs to Own, and What Is Available

Owning inside the Lost Tree Village gate carries three separate bills, and only two of them are on record. Association dues are recorded in listing data and they range from under $600 a month for a house to several thousand for a condominium that carries a building. Property taxes follow the sale price. Club membership is the third, and it is set by the club rather than by anything a public record will tell you. This report covers what the record holds, tier by tier, and says plainly where it stops.

What the Dues Actually Are

The guide to the community covers the eight neighborhoods inside the gate. Two very different numbers sit under one heading here. A house inside the gate pays association dues at a median $600 a month, which covers the community rather than the residence. A condominium pays a median $2,370, because that fee carries the building: the roof, the envelope, the reserves and the insurance a house owner buys separately.

Comparing the two figures directly is the most common mistake made here. The condominium fee buys a wider scope of work, so the higher number is not the worse deal.

What Each Tier Buys

The community runs from $1.4M to $31.9M at the median, and the two ends buy different things. Below two million dollars the median closing measured 2,309 square feet at $608 per foot. Above twenty million it measured 10,514 square feet at $4,078, and every one of those sales was on the water.

Price per square foot rises with the tier rather than falling, which is the opposite of what most markets do. The land under the top tier is what is being bought, and there is very little of it. Our full record of closed sales sets out the individual closings behind each tier.

How the Negotiation Runs

The median sale took 65 days and closed at 93 percent of its last asking price. Measured against the first asking price rather than the last, the median seller gave up 11.8 percent. Of the 63 closings, 15 met or beat the asking price standing at the time.

Read those two figures as one. The gap on the final asking price runs around seven percent, while the gap on the original asking price runs 12 percent. Most of the negotiation therefore happens through reductions before an offer ever arrives. By the time a buyer is at the table, the price has usually done its moving.

What Is Standing Today

In late August 2026 the community shows 9 residences offered and 3 under contract. Asking prices run from $1.5M to $13.5M, with a median of $6M. The community has averaged 13 listed sales a year over five years. On the listed record that looks like a year of supply. A deed pass run on August 26, 2026 found that 45 percent of sales here never reach the MLS, so the real supply is nearer six months.

That number sets expectations more usefully than any median. A buyer who wants a specific street and a specific frontage is not shopping a list of nine. They are waiting, sometimes for a season, and the work in between is knowing which owners would sell if they were asked.

Membership, and Why No Number Appears Here

The Lost Tree Club sets its own membership categories, initiation and dues. None of that is recorded in MLS data.

We could ask around and print a figure. We do not, for two reasons. Any number goes stale the first time the club revises it. An article that is confidently wrong about a cost does more damage than one that says where to ask. The club answers this accurately, so we send you there.

What we can tell you is what the record shows. Association dues are above. Property taxes follow the assessed value after a sale rather than the seller's basis, which is worth understanding before you budget from the current owner's bill.

Bottom Line

Association dues run a median $600 a month for a house and $2,370 for a condominium that carries its building. The median sale takes 65 days and closes 93 percent of the last ask, after a 12 percent journey down from the first one. Nine residences are offered today against a five year average of 13 sales a year. Club membership is a question for the club.

The practical number: 12 percent is the median distance between the first asking price and the closing price here.

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.

Association dues are the figures recorded on individual listings, normalised to a monthly basis, and grouped by neighborhood. A listing records the fee at the time it was written rather than today. Groups with fewer than three recorded fees show counts only.

Portage Landing and Seminole Beach sit behind their own gate west of the community and are excluded. Seminole Landing is a separate community reported from its own export.
