Preserving rural living 45 minutes from Miami
Southwest Ranches, 45 minutes from Miami, seeks to preserve its rural lifestyle. The municipality was incorporated into Boward County in 2000 to halt encroaching development. “Southwest Ranches is made to be an equestrian community,” says Heidi Lequerique, a broker with Real Estate Boutique of So Fla who has been in real estate for 20 years. “People move here for the land size, the schools and to have a more rural lifestyle.” Reflecting the larger mission of the town, Southwest Ranches is composed solely of open residential and agricultural spaces. The acres of land stretch between homes, giving residents plenty of room for recreation, livestock and more. No sidewalks decorate the roadsides, only endless manicured lawns divided by fences and trees. There are a few gated communities in the area run by a HOA; however, homes not in these locations still follow the community guidelines that help to preserve this rural location. These community guidelines dictate the use of outside lighting, fireworks, noise levels and home elevation. “Everyone keeps the integrity of the area, even though much of it isn’t under a homeowners association,” says Lequerique.
Authentic charm of Southwest Ranches with its idyllic pastures and friendly livestock.
Treat your furry friends to a day of outdoor fun at Steven L. Josias Equestrian and Dog Park.

Very few places in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area remain a well-kept secret. Sunshine Ranches is one of these rare places, an equestrian wonderland where residents enjoy privacy, quiet and beautiful natural surroundings. Rolling hills, towering palm trees, swaying sawgrass and neighbors traveling around by horseback are a part of everyday life in this suburban retreat. You’ll find ranch-style homes, gated communities made up of Mediterranean-style single-family homes and villas, modern contemporary estates, and sprawling Italianate-style mansions sitting on lots with plenty of acreage. Many of these larger homes include barns and stables to keep horses, intricate landscaping, lakes with fountains and fences that keep the outside world far away. The gated communities come with resort-style amenities like swimming pools and tennis courts, while large estates, villas and mansions almost always come with their own pools.
