Recently, we saw how Southwest Florida communities can be incredibly diverse. From hip downtown areas to rural countrysides, our little slice of paradise has so many options for you to choose from. And when it comes down to it, you have a ton of options even for rural and rustic. This means that when you’re looking at properties in SWFL, you don’t just have to go with a condo or a coastal beach house.
While those are fine options, you can also choose any number of more remote homes in the area. For example, maybe you’re interested in a gorgeous upscale home a bit away from it all. Or maybe you’ve always dreamed of owning something smaller, but with generous space for raising a horse or two. While you don’t hear a lot about it, these are all possible in when it comes to Southwest Florida properties. So, today, we’re looking at 4 more places, all in our upper region, for rustic SWFL properties.
Parrish, Florida
As part of Manatee County, Parrish has a nice selection of SWFL properties that are a little out of the way, without being too remote. In fact, you can have your selection of newer properties with ample space, yet these homes are a short drive to places like Ellenton and Sarasota. At the same time, the majority of these properties remain affordable with additional value potential over the next 5 to 10 years.
Rye, Florida
First, the thing I love about Rye for Southwest Florida communities is its proximity to the Rye Preserve. Canoeing, hiking, camping… these are just a few of the activities you can do right in your own backyard. Still, this little community is filled with beautiful homes at cost-effective prices. While it’s a little further away from Sarasota, Rye has access to some unparalleled outdoor amenities.
The Ranches at Bern Creek, Florida
When you see the SWFL properties in and around the Ranches at Bern Creek, you’ll certainly agree that they can be very stunning. Now, properties in this Southwest Florida community become available less often, but you can definitely see the appeal in this area. A little rustic, plenty upscale, but still within an affordable range for many, it has properties that can be difficult to find elsewhere.
Saddle Oak Estates, Florida
If you’re looking for luxury real estate in Southwest Florida, Saddle Oak Estates may be what you need. These properties can have amazing views and landscapes that surround them. There are also opportunities to purchase attractive lots for just about any home you can dream of. The price point is a bit higher than even Bern Creek, but if you’re in the market for more rustic SWFL properties, this one is worth a look.
