Buying a luxury home in Pasco County takes on a new meaning of luxury.  For the same price as a luxury home in South Tampa, you just might be able to add on a waterfront view or a few acres of land.  For example, resale homes in Gulf Harbors in New Port Richey have gulf access for approximately $1.1 million.  Another subdivision called Harbor Colony is building new homes for the same price and again with gulf access.

Living on the golf course is another luxury…
