Luxury living along Windmill Ranch Estates’ waterways
Bordering the Florida Everglades, the gated community of Windmill Ranch Estates offers more than just striking, waterfront homes and highly rated public schools. The neighborhood is also one of the only horse-friendly communities within the city of Weston. “It’s a beautiful area, and people love living here. Residents like the privacy of estate living rather than a close community, and it has a lot of prestige,” says Patricia Lewis with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, who has over 30 years of experience and currently lives in Weston. Windmill Ranch Estates has a CAP Index crime score of 1 out of 10, making it one of the safest neighborhoods in Broward County and the state. Residents here can experience a calm, slow-paced lifestyle with plenty of resort-like amenities and everyday shopping necessities within reach. The private neighborhood sits about 20 miles from Fort Lauderdale and around 33 miles from Miami, and access to Interstate 75 allows for quick commutes into major Florida cities.

With a single entrance off Royal Palm Boulevard with a 24-hour guard, the streets of Windmill Ranch Estates wind through palm-lined waterways and feature a variety of luxury homes. “It is the premiere neighborhood of Weston. All of the properties are unique, and plots were bought in the 90s, where approved builders could construct unique floorplans that didn’t match the uniformity of other nearby neighborhoods,” Lewis says. Custom builds sit on up-to-4-acre lots, accented with lush tropical foliage. Common architecture here includes Spanish-inspired tile roofs and stucco siding, Italianate-inspired arched columns, balconies and fountains, Mediterranean mansions with porte-cochères, and modern mansions with angular features. Nearly every home has a gallery pool with waterfront views, vaulted ceilings and marble floors. Custom interior features range from wine cellars and wet bars to home theaters and steam saunas. Prices fall between $1.8 million and $15 million depending on floor plan, which can range from 2,500 to 15,000 square feet. Despite the area’s lack of sidewalks, locals often walk or jog the streets safely, as traffic is not busy on the private residential streets.
