We’re creating something special in Southwest Florida, a new master-planned community in Parrish that balances the best of modern living and home trends with genuine connection.
Rye Ranch® is built with intention, designed to grow in harmony with the land while creating vibrant, meaningful gathering spaces. A place where neighbors know each other, where front porches invite stay-a-while conversations, and where families can grow together surrounded by both nature and convenience.
New Homes Perfectly Positioned
There’s a reason why Southwest Florida continues to lead the charge in new construction homes in 2025. This area offers something increasingly rare: an authentic sense of community combined with a smart location.
Just a few minutes inland from the Gulf Coast, Parrish has the ideal blend of elements for a laid-back Florida lifestyle: small-town charm, easy access to outdoor adventures and renowned beaches, plus the convenience of big-city experiences and entertainment in neighboring Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota.
Rye Ranch attracts residents from other parts of the state and those who are planning a move here for work, for the climate, or to be closer to family. The broad appeal for Parrish, Florida is clear:
- Year-round sunshine
- Abundant outdoor recreation
- Quick coastal access
- No personal income tax
- Part of Florida’s diverse, thriving economy—ranked #1 for two consecutive years*
- Access to Florida’s top-ranked education pipeline—ranked #1 for eight years running*
* U.S. News & World Report, 2025
As more people discover what Rye Ranch has to offer, Parrish continues to evolve with new businesses, shops, restaurants, and everyday conveniences that support this unique, close-knit community.
An exciting addition for young families is Rye Ranch Elementary. The K-5 school is under construction and will open for the 2026-27 school year, weaving walkable education right into the neighborhood.
A town center is being planned for one of Rye Ranch’s future phases.
This is the setting that makes Rye Ranch a compelling choice for homebuyers who want to spend their next chapter in a new construction home with all of today’s leading design trends and smart home innovations built by some of the best homebuilders in the business.

Modern Homes Built for Real Life
A newly constructed home is the best way for you to enjoy all the modern living conveniences suited to today’s lifestyle.
The new construction homes at Rye Ranch combine inviting architecture, flexible design layouts, and energy efficiencies that enhance practical living. Open floor plans maximize natural light and create spaces where families naturally gather. From weeknight homework while dinner simmers to Saturday morning pancake breakfasts to holiday meals that bring generations of family and friends together, these thoughtfully designed homes adapt to help you make the most of everyday moments and special occasions.
Meanwhile, smart home features let you easily control lighting, temperature, and security systems. The result? A space where you, your family, and your guests will feel completely at home.
Surprisingly, to many, new construction homes are also incredibly cost-effective, thanks to energy-efficient designs. You will save on utility bills while protecting the environment. And with brand-new home materials and appliances, homes often require less maintenance, too. After all, less worry and maintenance mean more freedom and flexibility to enjoy the life that you’re building at Rye Ranch.
This same forward-thinking approach extends to how we’re developing the entire community.
Intentional Design Protects What Matters
At Rye Ranch, thoughtful planning ensures that growth never comes at the expense of the natural beauty that drew us here. The significant open spaces, nature preserves, and recreational areas are not undefined areas that might disappear as the community develops. Our master plan preserves the legacy of the land for the future.
The result is a neighborhood where you can step outside your front door and be surrounded by nature within a minute or two. More than 10 miles of trails will connect to parks and green spaces woven throughout the community. Whether you’re walking the dog, going for a run, or just seeking a quiet moment, nature is always within reach.
This commitment to intentional design means families can count on Rye Ranch maintaining its character and natural beauty for generations to come. We’re not just building homes; we’re creating a lasting community that honors both the land and the people who call it home.
A Place to Gather and a Place to Grow
Home is where the heart is, and the heart of Rye Ranch beats strongest at The Grange. Our community clubhouse is where neighbors will become friends over shared meals, holiday celebrations, and impromptu conversations that start with a simple hello and stretch into the sunset bathed evenings.
Rye Ranch’s swimming holes are where the sun-kissed Florida lifestyle comes alive. Each neighborhood includes different amenity outposts with destination-inspired swimming pools and a splash pad is planned for our spirited younger ranchers.
Our playground and open lawns are the backdrops where childhood memories take shape in the form of weekend soccer games, family picnics on sunny afternoons, and movie nights beneath sparkling stars. The dog park becomes a natural meeting place for early morning walks and evening strolls, where pets run and play while their humans chat about their antics.
Miles of walking trails wind through the community and connect to nature preserves, perfect for racing the sunrise toward the day or taking peaceful evening strolls that help busy families slow down and reconnect. These paths offer both solitude and the chance for friendly waves with the neighbors and friends you encounter along the way.
Throughout the year, our Lifestyle Director orchestrates the kind of events that transform a collection of houses into a true community, including these and many more to come:
- Social Clubs: Ranch Readers book club, Tales on the Trails walking club, and Lil’ Ranch Hands, activities and adventures just for kids
- Community Gatherings: Roots & Rhythm outdoor concerts, Ranch Reels outdoor movie nights, Gather & Graze community feasts, and Ranch Rallies, our game-day watch parties
- Seasonal Celebrations: New Year Roundup, Bunny Brunch, Red, White & Rodeo, Boo on the Barnyard, and more
These activities and events beckon neighbors from their front porches and into the shared spaces to experience the sense of belonging that defines Rye Ranch.
