About the community
Sugar Mill has been a fixture in New Smyrna Beach for over 50 years — a gated, deed-restricted community built around one of the only private, member-owned country clubs in the area. It's organized into distinct neighborhoods, so the feel ranges from patio villas to larger custom homes on the course, all under a canopy of mature trees. The HOA and the country club operate separately, which keeps the neighborhood well-maintained whether or not you golf.

With 800-plus homes across several sub-neighborhoods, Sugar Mill offers real range:
- Single-family homes — from comfortable patio homes to larger custom homes with golf or preserve views.
- Golf villas — lower-maintenance living close to the club.
- Condos & townhomes — the most attainable way into the community (e.g., the Pine Valley townhomes).
