A Tampa-based company has announced ambitious plans to develop a 550-acre rural retreat project straddling the Hernando and Pasco county line. The development, named Clay Hill, will feature a 130-room luxury resort, an equestrian center, a working farm, and limited private estate homes. Blake Casper, CEO of Caspers Company, revealed the project details in an August news release. Approximately 330 acres are located in Pasco County while 220 acres fall within Hernando County boundaries. The site is situated at 18424 Clay Hill Road in Dade City and will include additional amenities such as a clubhouse, chapel, wellness programming, and farm-driven restaurants. The design emphasizes the property’s natural landscape with open spaces, rolling hills, and oak-draped acreage as central features. Company officials expect the development to create jobs, boost tourism, support local businesses, and increase the tax base for both counties. Community town halls will be held as planning progresses to explain the project and gather resident feedback.
