About Storybook Estates: Storybook Estates® was originally conceived by developers Chris and Roxann Shemwell of Spring Hill, Florida in 1999. Planning began later that same year. Twenty acres was purchased in 2002 and the project was begun in late 2003. The small community was carefully designed by the Shemwell's to be of the highest caliber. The idea being - to build the nicest small gated residential community possible. A quiet place off the beaten track but still close to everything, with upscale custom homes and secure with little traffic, high standards, attention to detail and a delight to live in.
The community was designed to be a park like environment. Tree lined streets, park benches, formal city curbs, 4 foot wide sidewalks are fully completed up and down both sides of the streets, old style Victorian street lights, bronze (life-sized) statues of children playing along the sidewalks and gated entrance with security cameras and underground utilities. The infrastructure, including the complete sidewalk system, was put in place from the very beginning so that it could be used and enjoyed by the very first home owners to build.
