Half-acre homesites around the Oaks golf course in the original core of Citrus Hills, under the Citrus Hills Property Owners Association.
Oaks Estates is a neighborhood of single-family homes on roughly half-acre lots around the Oaks golf course in Citrus Hills, Hernando, Florida 34442. It is a developer name on an entrance sign, 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 for the specific address whether the lot is on the golf course, whether the water is county or well (sewer is septic), and whether any club membership comes with the home.

Oaks Estates is the half-acre neighborhood around the Oaks golf course in the original core of Citrus Hills. The Oaks is one of the Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club courses, and many homesites here border it. Oaks Estates and neighboring Meadows Estates are the two half-acre neighborhoods in the core. Northridge Estates, Fox Run and Emerald Estates are full-acre.
Oaks Estates is a named place with its own entrance sign, but it 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." There are no Oaks-only covenants: Oaks Estates shares one association and one set of deed restrictions with Meadows Estates, Northridge Estates, Fox Run and Emerald Estates, with a few extra rules for the blocks that border the Oaks course.
Golf frontage is decided by the street, not by the subdivision name. Keller Court is in the golf pocket; Keller Street, with nearly the same name, is a regular Citrus Hills street in Fox Run. Ask us whether a specific address is on 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 Oaks golf course. Legal description: Citrus Hills or Citrus Hills First Addition. |
| Lot size | About ½ acre. Oaks Estates and Meadows 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 Meadows 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. In the records we reviewed, roughly half show Citrus County Utilities water and half show a private well. |
| Sewer | Septic. |
| Natural gas | Available on some streets through Florida Public Utilities. Ask Florida Public Utilities for the specific address. |
| Golf | The Oaks 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). Article IX adds rules for the blocks bordering the Oaks course. |
| 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. |
| Post lamps | Required on the blocks bordering the Oaks course, and kept lit from dusk to dawn. |
| Boats and RVs | May be kept only inside a fully enclosed structure the association has approved. |
Check the association first. Oaks 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. The blocks bordering the Oaks course add their own rules: a post lamp lit dusk to dawn, golf carts garaged when not in use, and a 25-ft course-side easement that must stay clear. If you want a fenced yard for a dog or young children, ask that question before you fall for a golf course lot.
Check utilities and club membership by address. Water is county on some lots and a private well on others, sewer is 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.

Yes. On the blocks bordering the Oaks course, the recorded declaration requires a post lamp lit from dusk to dawn, requires golf carts to be garaged when not in use, and keeps a 25-ft course-side easement clear of structures. Front and rear setbacks on those blocks ease to 30 ft and 25 ft.
Not automatically. Club membership is separate from the property owners association and specific to each home, and most Citrus Hills homes outside the gated communities carry none. Where a home does carry a social membership, the official 2026 dues are $2,091.32 per year single or $2,453.84 per year family, tax included.
