She found her dream home on one of the world’s most famous golf courses

The dream home can take many forms. Few, however, would envision their perfect property built on the grounds of a major sporting venue.

The dream home can take many forms. Few, however, would envision their perfect property built on the grounds of a major sporting venue. Because while having a world-renowned golf course in your backyard might sound idyllic to the diehard golfer, the prospect of balls careening towards windows and strangers strolling through your garden is less appealing to most people. And yet, nestled among the sprawling fairways and shimmering lakes of Tournament Players Club (TPC) Sawgrass – home of the PGA Tour and host to The Players Championship – is a community where one family has holed out on a slice of paradise. Rebecca Burchell had a tough decision to make. Settled and content in leafy Beaconsfield, a market town in southeast England, her family had spent 10 years building a new life across the pond after moving from Ponte Vedra Beach near Jacksonville, Florida, in 2007. Her two teenage children, Emma and Liam, were happily embedded at a local school, with Burchell – a licensed realtor – volunteering as a governor there.
