FishHawk Ranch

Ahh yes, FishHawk Ranch Real Estate -- our specialty. As leading FishHawk real estate agents specializing in FishHawk Ranch homes for sale, it would be our pleasure to assist you and answer any questions about this wonderful community. FishHawk Ranch is as unique as they come. When complete, it will encompass more than 6,000 homes – that’s larger than many US towns! FishHawk Ranch is designed by Newland Communities and is built on land with many large live-oak trees, (awards were won for the preservation and transplantation of these oaks during early development). Despite its size, it’s not overwhelming since the community is divided into smaller “villages” of similarly-sized homes.  Accordingly, there are villages of town-homes starting in the low-$100k all the way to Avocet, Dunlin Wood, Chapman Crossing and The Preserve, each containing $1M+ custom-built residences.
