Southwest Ranches Homes for Sale

Southwest Ranches is located in south-west Broward County and consists primarily of ranch style homes on acreage, as its name implies! Southwest Ranches is approximately 15 miles south-west of Fort Lauderdale, but has a completely different rural feel to it. Southwest Ranches is one of our newest cities, as previously it was part of unincorporated Broward County. To avoid becoming part of Pembroke Pines, the residents voted to form their own city in 2012.

You won't find any condos here. Southwest Ranches has laws requiring homes to be built on 1 acre or more, so as you drive through the area, you'll see a wide range of homes, sometimes seeing an older home built in the 1960's sitting right next to a brand new mansion situated on several acres. There are horse ranches and a few small farms. Driving through the area, you'll often see people horseback riding, as the city has created miles of trails that are used by both horseback riders and bicyclists.

The average sale in Southwest Ranches in the past 6 months was approximately $800k, but the highest sale was in the community of Sunshine Ranches. This was an 8500 sq. ft. home on 4 acres, built in 2010. The house also featured a 30 car garage/workshop, in addition to the home's 3 car garage. 

Looking back beyond 6 months, there have been some incredible homes sold, such as "The Compound," which was an 18,000 sq. ft. "smart" home on 5 acres, featuring a 25x45 pool with slide and spa, a gym, salon, theater, music studio and 10 car garage, selling for $9.5 Million. Several other homes have sold in the $4 - $5 Million range.

Currently there's a thoroughbred training center situated on 48 acres, listed for $14 Million. The property includes 2 single family homes, guest apartments and 89 stalls, in addition to a veterinary office and surgery room.  If that's more than you're looking for, there are a handful of homes listed in the $500's and the prices go up from there.
