Luxury home development continues to gain momentum in Southwest Florida as Toll Brothers announces plans for a new upscale community in Lakewood Ranch. The highly anticipated neighborhood, Monterey at Lakewood Ranch Egret Collection, will bring a new level of high end living to one of the nation’s fastest growing master planned communities.
The new development is expected to feature spacious single family homes with prices starting around $1.4 million. Designed for buyers seeking larger homes, modern architecture, and resort style amenities, the community reflects the continued demand for luxury real estate in the Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch area.
According to Toll Brothers, homes in the Egret Collection will range from approximately 4,320 square feet to more than 5,800 square feet. Buyers will be able to choose from both one story and two story floor plans offering four to five bedrooms, expansive living areas, up to five and a half bathrooms, and oversized three to four car garages.
Many of the homesites are planned to feature preserve and lakefront views, giving residents a private and scenic setting while still being close to shopping, dining, golf courses, and entertainment throughout Lakewood Ranch.
The new community will also include an impressive amenity center designed to create a luxury resort experience for homeowners. Planned amenities include a resort style swimming pool, fitness center, golf simulator, tennis courts, pickleball courts, walking trails, and recreational gathering spaces for residents and guests.
Toll Brothers continues to expand its footprint across Florida, especially in high growth areas like Lakewood Ranch where luxury housing demand remains strong. Even as the broader housing market faces affordability challenges and slower sales activity in some price ranges, builders are continuing to invest heavily in premium communities aimed at affluent buyers relocating to Florida.
Lakewood Ranch has become one of the most desirable destinations in the country for luxury homebuyers thanks to its master planned design, top rated schools, medical facilities, shopping centers, and proximity to Gulf Coast beaches. The area continues attracting professionals, retirees, and second home buyers looking for an upscale Florida lifestyle with modern conveniences.
Brian O’Hara, division president of Toll Brothers in Tampa and Sarasota, said the company is excited to introduce a community that combines elegant home designs with scenic surroundings and resort inspired living.
The addition of Monterey at Lakewood Ranch Egret Collection further strengthens the area’s reputation as a premier luxury housing market in Southwest Florida. As migration into Florida continues and demand for larger homes with lifestyle focused amenities grows, communities like this are expected to remain highly attractive to buyers looking for both comfort and long term value.
Construction timelines and additional sales information are expected to be released as development progresses. Interest in the community is already expected to be strong given Lakewood Ranch’s continued growth and the limited inventory of newly built luxury homes in the region.
For buyers searching for upscale living with spacious floor plans, luxury finishes, and access to world class amenities, Monterey at Lakewood Ranch may become one of the most sought after new home communities in the Sarasota area.
