This past weekend, Lennar, the first homebuilder at Rye Ranch, opened the doors to four stunning new construction homes in southwest Florida with a “Garden Gathering and Grand Opening” that captured the spirit of Rye Ranch living. Neighbors—both current and future—gathered under clear blue skies to share in a celebration that felt like coming home.
A Community Blooms in Manatee County
Across the grounds, the simple joys of community blossomed naturally. Little hands dug into rich soil at the children’s potting station, planting the seeds of tomorrow’s memories while parents swapped stories over Rye Ranch lemonade. A thoughtfully arranged charcuterie spread invited lingering conversations as live music drifted through the warm air, stitching together moments of connection.
“We are thrilled to unveil these stunning new model homes and give prospective buyers a glimpse of the lifestyle they can enjoy in this exceptional community,” said Ashley Shenk, Director of Marketing at Lennar. “The ‘Garden Gathering and Grand Opening’ was the perfect way to showcase our commitment to quality, comfort, and community, and we’re excited to help families find their dream home here.”

Crafted for Modern Living
Each home tells its own tale through modern, open-concept designs that honor both function and grace. From welcoming front porches to kitchens crafted for both Sunday feasts and Wednesday night homework sessions, these new homes embrace the rhythms of real life. Outside, private pools promise afternoons of splashing laughter and evenings of stargazing under the beautiful Southwest Florida skies.
The roots of something authentic are taking hold here at Rye Ranch. If you missed this gathering, the front porch is always open—schedule a visit to roam these thoughtfully crafted single-family homes and discover your place in our growing community. For those who can’t make the journey just yet, virtual tours bring Rye Ranch to you.

Our community is proud to be part of the growing Parrish area, near the Lakewood Ranch community and only minutes from Interstate 75, making commutes and weekend getaways equally convenient.
