BUILD your Custom Home on the most beautiful lot in Southwest Ranches! This exceptional 3.25-acre corner lot, perfectly positioned at Melaleuca Road and Luray Road, offers a perfect canvas for your dream estate. Enter through a private, gated entrance framed by majestic mature oaks, setting the tone for the exclusivity. Located in Broward County’s most coveted and fastest-growing luxury enclave—home to elite athletes, entertainers, and top-tier executives. Unlike most parcels in the area, this property has been upgraded with city water access—saving time and expense. Architectural and engineering plans for a custom estate are available to qualified purchasers.
Sunshine Ranches, located between Griffin Road and Sheridan Street, is a rural and equestrian Southwest Ranches neighborhood with large-lot estates and bridle paths. Long driveways, paddocks, and low-slung ranch homes set a quiet, open-air rhythm across canal-lined roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Griffin Road corridor near SW 148th Avenue, where feed stores, tack trailers, and weekend horse traffic shape the streetscape. Community pillars include Sunshine Ranches Equestrian Park, the Southwest Ranches Farmers Market, and the Southwest Ranches Town Hall campus for local gatherings. Landscaping leans native and practical, with palms, pasture grass, and shade trees framing private gates. The setting feels distinctly country while bordering the region’s major retail and dining districts.
