Kensington Estates is the wooded one-acre village on the south side of Citrus Hills. The developer describes it as one-acre, heavily wooded homesites, and it sits south of County Road 486 (Norvell Bryant Highway). Addresses here are Lecanto, ZIP 34461.
The headline fact is the association: Kensington Estates has no mandatory property owners association and no mandatory dues. A voluntary neighborhood association exists, which an owner may join or not. That makes Kensington Estates, along with Presidential Estates, one of the few Citrus Hills villages with no mandatory association.
The other fact to know early is utilities. Kensington Estates is private well and septic, not county water and sewer, so the well and the septic system belong on your inspection list.

Start with what "no mandatory association" does and does not mean. There is no association you must join and no mandatory dues in Kensington Estates. That is a different claim from "no deed restrictions." The Citrus County Clerk's deed-restriction index lists an entry under the name Kensington Estates, so if you plan to park a boat or RV, add a building or fence the lot, have your title company confirm what is recorded against that specific lot before you buy. Verify current figures and recorded documents with the voluntary association and the county before you buy.
Then check the well and septic. Kensington Estates is on private wells and septic systems, so ask for the age and service history of both and include them in your inspections. Natural gas is not confirmed here; Florida Public Utilities can tell you whether gas service reaches a specific address.
Club membership is specific to each home. Most Citrus Hills homes outside the gated communities carry no Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club membership, and you cannot tell from the address. Ask us to confirm it for the home you are considering.
Fees, rules and programs change. Verify current figures and the recorded documents with the association or the county before you buy.
