It's definitely been done. Once upon a time there was a thing called Planned Communities. Reston, Virginia is one such. So is "The Villages" in central Florida. But, especially since the sub-prime mortgage crash of the 00s, I haven't heard of anybody attempting it.

Check out Ave Maria, also in Florida. It is a mixed-zoning town build around a College and a Catholic cathedral, but unlike the Villages, it is actually quite age diverse. So, for those who are not bothered by the the religious aspect, it is seems very livable and I think will be successful.
