About This Home

As of May 2025

DR Horton Villa at The Preserve at Babcock Ranch. This spacious villa offers 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a den, and a 2-car garage, all within the highly sought-after Preserve at Babcock Ranch. Featuring impact-resistant windows and sliding doors, the home is ideally situated just across the street from the community pool. Enjoy the expansive backyard with serene lake views, providing the perfect setting for relaxation and entertainment. Babcock Ranch is widely regarded as one of the most desirable communities in the United States. As America's first solar-powered town, it remained largely unscathed by Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Milton, underscoring the community's resilience. With a wealth of amenities, including over 20 miles of trails for walking, biking, and running, it offers an active lifestyle for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits. The community also boasts a comprehensive educational system, with an on-site elementary, middle, and high school. Convenient amenities such as a Publix supermarket, Fifth Third Bank, Starbucks, and a variety of restaurants ensure that everything you need is within reach.
Additionally, Babcock Ranch offers two clubhouses featuring pools, tennis courts, pickleball courts, dog parks, and play areas—providing activities for every member of the family. This is a rare opportunity to live in a community that blends modern living with an unparalleled lifestyle.
