Sugarmill Woods is an unincorporated, census-designated place (CDP) in southwestern Citrus County, Florida, United States. It is situated a few miles south of Homosassa in the Nature Coast, and its planned community features two golf, swim, and tennis country clubs. The community is purported as one of the first developments in the United States expected to combine a greenbelt in back most of its single-family residential lots.

The declare is derived from the Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins in welcoming Homosassa. Sugarmill Woods uses the mill and an oak tree as principal elements of its logo. The oak tree is a silhouette taken from a photo of an actual tree, located close to Oak Park Boulevard (CR480), east of Southern Woods. The similar tree was then used as portion of the eventual Parkland Properties, Inc. logo.

Together, they formed Parkland Properties, Inc. for the opening of Sugarmill Woods. An estimated 6,500 acres (2,600 ha) of this property was in fact way in pasture, so the followers planted 1,200,000 slash pine seedlings. The partnership dissolved in 1975 subsequent to Norris’ shares of Parkland were acquired by Punta Gorda Developers.
