Pulte Homes says it will develop a 284-single-family community in Martin County on 321 acres acquired from Christ Fellowship Church.

The development is about 10 miles from downtown Stuart and a 15 minute drive from Jupiter.

Pulte says in a May 12 statement that it will donate a 20 acres the land to Operation 300, a local nonprofit that supports the families of fallen military personnel.

Homes in the gated community will start in the $500,000 range.

“We are very excited about our newest project in Martin County,” said Brent Baker, president of PulteGroup’s southeast region. “Not only are we addressing a housing shortage in the area, but we also have the privilege of helping children who lost a parent serving our country in the name of freedom.”
