Heebner Acres, DeLand FL: New Homes on 1-Acre Lots by Gallery Homes

Heebner Acres is on the southeast corner of Grand Avenue (County Road 4053) and Lime Street, in DeLand, FL 32720, near the small community of Glenwood. It's in unincorporated Volusia County rather than inside DeLand's city limits, which is why it runs on private wells and septic. By car it's about 13 minutes to downtown DeLand, about 10 minutes to Publix, about 11 minutes to the DeLand SunRail station and roughly an hour to downtown Orlando.

It depends heavily on how wooded the lot is, which is why there's no honest single number. At Heebner Acres the question is mostly answered for you: the builder's price includes clearing up to half an acre of your homesite, along with the well, septic, sod and driveway. The rest of the acre can stay wooded, under the old oaks. If you want more than half an acre cleared, ask for a quote before you choose your homesite.

Yes. At Heebner Acres the private well and septic system are part of Gallery Homes' package, so they're included in the price rather than a separate bill you have to plan for. That matters here because Heebner Acres is in unincorporated Volusia County, not on DeLand's city water and sewer. The package also covers clearing up to half an acre of your homesite, sod, landscaping and a concrete driveway. If you'd like the full list in writing for the homesite you're looking at, I'll get it for you.

It varies a lot from lot to lot, depending on how deep the well has to go, the soil, and what kind of septic system the site needs, so I'd be wary of any single number you see online. If you're buying land and building on your own, get real quotes from licensed well drillers and septic contractors before you buy. At Heebner Acres you can skip that worry: the well and septic are included in Gallery Homes' price, so the cost is already part of the home.

Florida's rule for septic systems (Florida Administrative Code 62-6.005) requires at least 75 feet between a septic system and a private drinking-water well. On a full acre, that's easy to fit, and every homesite at Heebner Acres is an acre or more. Since the well and septic come with Gallery Homes' package here, placing them to meet that rule is part of building your home rather than something you have to work out yourself.

Yes. Heebner Acres Homeowners' Association, Inc. was formed in May 2025 and is active with the State of Florida. The dues amount isn't published anywhere I could verify, and I won't guess at it. Ask me and I'll get the current figure and the rules in writing before you commit. If a no-HOA home is a must for you, that's worth knowing up front, and I can show you other acreage options around DeLand.

The whole subdivision sits in FEMA Flood Zone X, which FEMA describes as an area of minimal flood hazard, on the flood map effective June 9, 2022. That's a good starting point for insurance, but it isn't the whole picture: your lender and insurer will look at the specific homesite, and drainage on any one acre is worth a look before you choose a lot.

Statewide numbers swing too widely to be useful, so here's a local one instead. Volusia County deed records show five Heebner Acres homesites deeded on their own in 2026, at prices between $115,000 and $159,900 each. On Gallery Homes' March 2026 price sheet, home-and-homesite packages started in the low $500s.
