About Candler Hills
Candler Hills occupies a distinctive niche in Ocala's luxury landscape. Situated within the On Top of the World master-planned community, it delivers an active, amenity-rich lifestyle at a price point that represents strong value compared to standalone golf communities. The Candler Hills golf course is an 18-hole championship layout that anchors the neighborhood and provides a focal point for daily life.
Homes in Candler Hills range from well-appointed attached villas to spacious single-family residences. Architectural styles lean traditional Florida, with stucco exteriors, tile roofs, and open floor plans designed for entertaining and indoor-outdoor living. Many homes back to the golf course, preserve areas, or landscaped common spaces.
The broader On Top of the World community provides a depth of amenities that few single neighborhoods can match: multiple pools, a performing arts center, fitness facilities, restaurants, softball and tennis complexes, and a packed social calendar. Candler Hills residents have full access to all of it. This is a strong fit for buyers in their 50s through 70s who want an active daily routine, social engagement, and the convenience of a well-managed community without the $1M+ entry point of some competitors.
