Hey HGTV Green Home fans, the big day is finally here! Without further ado, here’s Jack Thomasson to announce the location of HGTV Green Home 2009! (Is it just me, or is he looking particularly handsome on horseback?)
And if you love following the construction of HGTV’s Green Homes as much as I do, check out HGTVPro.com’s Building the 2009 HGTV Green Home. In addition to today’s location announcement, you’ll be able to see videos and slide shows of the home being built from the ground up. Plus, get field reports from blogger Marilyn Bauer, who’s got all the behind-the-scenes scoop from the construction site.
Looks like it’s going to be a Great Green Home!
Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Boo! I can’t believe you guys are planning another home in Florida!
Hey Jack…you looked amazing on horseback & boy am I glad I changed my guess at the last minute to Tradition, Florida!!
The film is exciting & the area is situated amidst more than 400 acres of lakes and waterways!! WOW!! Tradition’s neighborhoods are dotted with cozy parks and playgrounds, and linked by miles of paved pathways for jogging, riding a bike or just taking a lazy, evening stroll. The Town of Tradition offers a lifestyle that’s unmatched anywhere in America…and, I love the idea that you are so close to a Mets’ game!! Tradition Field, located on Peacock Boulevard in Port St. Lucie, is the home field for the New York Mets spring training and the Florida League St. Lucie Mets in baseball season!! Yes, I am a baseball fan!!
Florida’s Treasure Coast, with seven residential neighborhoods surrounding a town square, neighborhood parks, lakes and a retail shopping center….I am stoked!!!! It is the PERFECT area for the next Green Home!! Thank you HGTV for the ongoing dreams!! Marie Miller
Awesome!!!!! I love Port St.Lucie is close to everything, and the beaches I must say Jack you did do it justice, I love how you showed how great the aerea is. I’m from South Florida and that’s where I go to get away and just relax and ride bike. So I can not wait to see how the Green Home is going to develop. I think I wand this more than the Dream Home.
I can’t wait to enter this sweepstakes. I can’t wait to win this house!!!!!!!!
Sandra, New York
I knew it!!! Clue #8 sealed it.
Why aren’t the eco-friendly elements of the Green Home incorporated into HGTV’s Dream Home as well?
Since it’s on the Florida coast, how hurricane “proof” will it be?
Right coast wrong city,thanks for letting go on the hunt.
I’m soooo excited about this home.It looks like it will be concrete stucco and have a spiral stair case off the balcony.I see a tower and I love the windows,Oh I’m sooo excited about this home I know I already said that.It looks like it will been Spanish,tuscan european style.Just what I’ve been asking for.I can’t wait to see the floor plans.
I hope Linda and Jack use better furniture than last time.I would like to see them use Ethan Allen tuscan collection or Thomasvill furniture Hills of Tuscany Collection.It does not have to be green to please me.I just hope the inside to have that same look as the out side.I think I also see a fountain.Oh so cool.This will be the best of all HGTV dream homes.They all have been beautiful but this one is gonna be it for me.
Wow! looks like a great place for the new Green home. I am a little disappointed that it is in Florida, just because it seems HGTV has built so many homes there. However, from what I could tell it looks like the house might be universal design? That would be great. Finally a home everyone could use easily. I look forward to seeing the floor plans. Way to go HGTV!
FABULOUS! Boating from Port St. Lucie on the ICW is great with access to the Atlantic, too!
Wow I love that area, I’m usually mountain and lake girl but hey that is a very beautiful area. Just bring a neighborhood like that to Ky one day Jack Pretty Please!!! Yes you live an exciting life Jack!!! Lucky you!!!
I finally nailed a location!!! Yay!!!! I look forward to seeing the house and layouts. Good Luck!!!
I’m a Jacksonville native and know that it doesn’t get any better than Florida. I can’t wait to see the completed home!
Beautiful location and the plans look very intriguing. I love the Atlantic coast.
I love Florida, two of my sisters were born there. This is going to be my first time enterning the sweepstakes. Good luck to myself. and I do love the location also.
Maria, Illinois
what ‘cha wanna bet that a certain beachlady has passed out? we haven’t heard from her yet or her THUD! her jack knows how to make her smile
Looks like a wonderful location, with the Tradition, FL neighborhood already established. That should definitely help the winner with potential resale, should the need arise…
omg I love this place i cant wAIT TO WIN THIS HOME(i hope)!
You guys rock! You always choose the most amazing spots for the homes. This looks like an amazing location. The perfect location to retire to. Thanks for always being so thoughtful and creating a wonderland for one of us!!!!!
Fabulous Choice! When can you start entering?
Wow! I’ve never been to Florida. It looks great.
I would love to live there. My husband has a friend who lives there, he told my husband he has a job waiting for him if we ever wanted to move there. I hope I win. I am so ready to move there. I’m from PA. I am sooo sick of winter. GO GREEN!!
Tradition is a fantastic town. I only live 15 minutes away in Fort Pierce. I was just there last weekend for a breast cancer walk.
When the town was brand new (it’s only 5 years old), it kinda creeped me out at first. It’s almost TOO perfect! But it sure has grown on me, and my husband and I want to buy a house there. What a treat that would be to win this house!
Florida again
Someone at HG must have a real land sale connection there.
You have picked a magnificent place for this new Green Home. I am sure the home will be just as magnificent and cannot wait to live in it.
florida keys is where its at. why cant you build homes in other states like hawaii.
Florida is getting pretty LAME for a choice of locations. I do not care for hurricanes for one thing. What is it with Florida that keeps you from interjecting a little variety?
WOW… This home looks like it will be incredible!!! It is 36 degrees where I am now, Florida looks more and more appealing.
I live half an hour from Tradition, FL. So it would be wonderful to be the next winner of the Green house sweepstakes. All my family would be close to visit.
Retirement is just over the horizon for my husband and myself and this would be the perfect home for just that…. everything is there and we wouldn’t even have to drive since as we age it might not be safe! Fantastic location and I can’t wait to see the finished product.
I enter the sweeptakes all the time and never have luck, I love the location,beautiful place and it will be a beutiful house. I wish I will win it, I never win anything in my life, other people is always more lucky then me.The person who is going to win it they will be the luckiest people on earth.
anyone heard from beachlady? i can’t understand why she hasn’t been here unless she is off somewhere with her jack thomasson. beachlady are you passed out from the announcement, jack do u know where she is?
I have family at Penney Farms, FL and Mineola, FL. This would be a great location to be close to them.
Please keep handicap access in mind while building this. Also doors and hallways wide enough for wheelchairs and grab bars in the bathrooms. No matter what your age, grab bars are welcome!
This morning feels good…a new president, a new era, hope for the future generations, we have history to write about this morning!! “YES WE CAN!!!” And, WE WILL!! Our love and prayers go out to the Obama Family & we look forward to four years of adjustment & progress in this new leadership!! HGTV is certainly doing their part by showing the way with the HGTV Green Home…what wonderful exposure for future building & ideas for saving our beautiful planet!! With much gratitude, Marie Miller
Amazing, yet again a beautiful eco-friendly dream home, along with the fact that it will be given to someone who will appreciate it for it's beauty. I will enjoy watching the progress of the home being built along with the excitement of the contest.

Florida is a beautiful place, I have only been there one time thought i was in heaven.
Can't wait to see the home after it is built. I have looked at homes for the last 3 years so i have found alot of good and different things that i would like different.
Linda in Layton Utah
Gosh, I love the beach & this place looks awesome. I hope the winner will be me this time!!
Wow, what a beautiful home and what a beautiful place to build it. I am going to enter this sweepstakes and hopefully win this magnificent home. We live in a mobile home now and it isn’t very hurricane proof, plus my husband is on dialysis and awaiting a kidney transplant. We would so love to have this home. Keep up the good work. Every home that HGTV has built is magnificent and every location better than the last.
This looks like an amazing place. The snow white beaches remind me a little of Destin. I am excited to watch the transformtion of a green home!!! Good luck to you and the crew!!
It looks like it’s going to be a nice home,,,,,One of the first things I noticed about the neighbor hood is the closeness of the church. It also looked like a nice place for someone in their 50′s to go to and fit right it.I’ll continue to watch it’s progress.
Another home in Flordia?
Can hardly wait to see the house when it is completed. Am interested in greens homes. Would be a great place to retire to. I’m already retired and my husband can’t wait. We live in the Houston area now but love Florida.
Great Looking Location, Jack! I need a place to entertain my 5 brothers in Florida. I’m not lucky but someone will be when they win this house. Go HGTV – you keep our hopes and dreams alive (and IN COLOR.)
I’ve never owned a home and to be blessed and win a home so beautiful as this one would be a dream come true!!
I’d like to see you do the next Green Home in a TN or KY setting, MT or ID setting. There are just as many nice areas there as is in Florida. Not everyone likes the beach! What about those of us who like to mountain climb or walk trails? I’m sure everyone who wins a HGTV home still needs to work too. Keep in mind that we would like a great location as well as somewhere we can work too. Are you listening Jack????
I am dreaming {and drooling-not too much} of the “Grand Slam” green home in Port St. Lucie. That spot is perfect for my family and I. Especially since my son now works and lives in nearby in Jupiter/Juno. It has always been my dream to own a “getaway home” large enough for my folks and I to go to during the hard winter months in Maine. It would be so wonderful to have that opportunity to share with my family and friends. We all can dream.
Looking forward to seeing the progression, Traci
This would be a great place to take my parents for the winter. They don’t like the winter anymore. I love the details and the care you put into each home you build. Thank you for giving all of us the chance to win such a beautiful home. Good luck to us all. It’s in God’s hands now!
Wow! I love Florida – the sand, sun, and lots of fun! The design for this home is fantastic. I like seeing other materials being used for the framing of the house besides wood. I hope this will inspire other builders to take notice. I know this home will be the best ever!
I was SO disappointed when I didn’t win the Tradition HHI home…..but now I know why! THIS is the home for me. We are from Ohio and have been talking about moving to Florida. This homesite looks absolutely amazing and I know my family will thoroughly enjoy it when we move in!! HGTV, you can just skip the contest if you want and just send me the keys!!
