Half-acre homesites around the Meadows golf course in the original core of Citrus Hills, under the Citrus Hills Property Owners Association.
Meadows Estates is a neighborhood of single-family homes on roughly half-acre lots around the Meadows golf course in Citrus Hills, Hernando, Florida 34442. The name is on the entrance sign, but it is not a separate legal subdivision: deeds read Citrus Hills or Citrus Hills First Addition, and homes fall under the Citrus Hills Property Owners Association and its recorded deed restrictions. A buyer should confirm three things for the specific address: whether the lot backs to the golf course, whether the water is county or well (sewer is septic on most lots), and whether any club membership comes with the home.

Meadows Estates is the half-acre golf neighborhood in the original core of Citrus Hills. Homes sit on lots of about half an acre around the Meadows course, one of the Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club courses. Meadows Estates and neighboring Oaks Estates are the two half-acre neighborhoods in the core. Northridge Estates, Fox Run and Emerald Estates are full-acre.
The name is real to the people who live here, and it is on the entrance sign, but Meadows Estates is not a separate legal subdivision. Deeds and tax records read Citrus Hills or Citrus Hills First Addition, and the MLS usually labels these homes only "Citrus Hills." That matters when you search: a subdivision filter will not separate Meadows Estates from the acre-lot streets around it.
Golf frontage here is a street-level question, not a subdivision name. Our broker's working rule for the Meadows golf pocket is the east-side streets from Glassboro and Gilchrist back to Cumberland and Charleston, where lots run about half an acre. Ask us whether a specific address backs to the course before you rely on a listing's wording.
| Detail | What to know |
|---|---|
| Location | Original core of Citrus Hills, Hernando, FL 34442, around the Meadows golf course. Legal description: Citrus Hills or Citrus Hills First Addition. |
| Lot size | About ½ acre. Meadows Estates and Oaks Estates are the half-acre neighborhoods of the Citrus Hills core. |
| Homes | Single-family homes. The recorded declaration sets a minimum of 1,500 sq ft of living area on most lots; patios, garages and pool cages do not count. |
| Association | Citrus Hills Property Owners Association, Inc., shared with Oaks Estates, Northridge Estates, Fox Run and Emerald Estates. The recorded declaration excludes a list of lots, so confirm the specific lot is covered. |
| Dues | Annual assessment set by the association's board. We quote $180.00 per year for 2026, from a 2026 title-company proration sheet. Verify the current amount with the association. |
| Club membership | Separate from the association and specific to each home. The association's recorded declaration does not tie Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club membership to the lot. Ask us what, if anything, conveys with a specific home. |
| Water | Mixed, so check the specific address. Most records show Citrus County Utilities water, some show a private well, and many homes have an irrigation well. |
| Sewer | Septic on most lots. At least one home on East Atlantic Street, near Greenbriar, shows public sewer. Check the specific address. |
| Natural gas | Available on some streets through Florida Public Utilities. Ask Florida Public Utilities for the specific address. |
| Golf | The Meadows course, a Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club course. Course-side lots carry a 25-ft golf easement that must stay clear of structures. |
| Covenants | Revitalized Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements, recorded April 10, 2023, Citrus County Official Records Book 3368, Page 2131 (Instrument #2023020022). |
| Fences | Every fence needs written approval from the association's Architectural Control Board before it goes up. Plan on open, fence-free views on the course side. |
| Boats and RVs | May be kept only inside a fully enclosed structure the association has approved. |
Check the association first. Meadows Estates homes fall under the Citrus Hills Property Owners Association, which posts its own governing documents. The recorded declaration covers Citrus Hills First Addition less a list of excluded lots, so have the association or your title company confirm that the specific lot is covered and what the current annual assessment is. Verify current figures and recorded documents with the association before you buy.
Read the deed restrictions against how you plan to live. As recorded in 2023, the main points are: a 1,500 sq ft minimum of living area on most lots; written Architectural Control Board approval before any fence, pool, structure, exterior color change or roof change; no metal buildings; boats, RVs and trailers only inside an approved enclosed structure; whole-house rentals only; and one small for-sale sign with no asking price. On lots along the Meadows course, a 25-ft course-side easement must stay clear and anything touching it also needs the golf club's consent. If you have a dog or young children and want a fenced yard, ask that question before you fall for a golf course lot.
Check utilities and club membership by address. Water changes block by block between Citrus County Utilities and private wells, most lots are on septic, and natural gas from Florida Public Utilities runs on some streets only. Club membership is not part of the association: most Citrus Hills homes outside the gated communities carry none, and you cannot tell from the address, so 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.
