Community overview
Resort-style amenities, everyday SW Ocala convenience.
Fore Ranch is one of southwest Ocala’s largest established master-planned communities — an all-ages mix of condos, townhomes, and single-family homes built around the Club Fore Ranch amenity center, just off State Road 200.
The main entrance is on SW 48th Avenue off SR 200, minutes from the Market Street at Heath Brook shopping and dining district, area hospitals, and I-75. Inside, villages range from low-maintenance condos and townhomes to traditional single-family streets — so first-time buyers, families, downsizers, and investors can all find a foothold in the same community. Despite the name, Fore Ranch is not a golf-course community; its draw is the pool, courts, fields, and trails.
Thinking of selling in Fore Ranch?
Contact Jennifer for a current market evaluation — pricing and HOA costs vary significantly by village and home type here, so a village-level comp matters.
Club Fore Ranch
The amenity center at 4001 SW 53rd Avenue anchors the community with the pool, fitness center, and clubhouse.
Real choice of homes
Brighton condos, Wynchase townhomes, and single-family villages including Cimarron, Saddle Creek, and Red Hawk.
Schools nearby
Listings consistently show Saddlewood Elementary, Liberty Middle, and West Port High — confirm current zoning with the school board.
Villages inside Fore Ranch
One community, several ways to live.
Fore Ranch is made up of distinct villages, each with its own home type, feel, and HOA structure. Some sections — including Brighton, Wynchase, and Red Hawk — are gated (without a guard); the wider community is not guard-gated. Jennifer can help you compare villages side by side.
Brighton
Condo living at Fore Ranch — spacious 2- and 3-bedroom condos, many around 1,490–1,864 sq ft, built in 2006, behind a gated entrance off SW 53rd Avenue.
Wynchase Townhomes
Gated two-story townhomes, typically 2–3 bedrooms and about 1,134–1,542 sq ft, built in 2005–2006 — a popular low-maintenance and investor-friendly option.
Cimarron
Single-family streets with homes commonly around 1,600–1,715 sq ft on roughly 0.18-acre lots, with build years including 2008 and 2011 in recent listings.
Saddle Creek
Established single-family phases (Phases 1 and 2) with larger floor plans — recent listings and sales around 2,185 sq ft on about 0.17–0.20-acre lots.
Red Hawk
A gated single-family section known for 2-bedroom homes with a den or bonus room — a fit for downsizers who still want a house, not a condo.
And more to explore
Fore Ranch has additional streets and phases beyond these five. Ask Jennifer which villages match your budget, home type, and HOA comfort level.
Village character, gate arrangements, and HOA fees differ by section and change over time. Jennifer tracks Fore Ranch listings across all of its villages and can advise on current options.
Tour the villagesLifestyle & amenities
Built around Club Fore Ranch.
Listing after listing for Fore Ranch points to the same amenity core: a clubhouse, resort-style pool, fitness center, splash pad, playgrounds, courts, fields, and walking trails. HOA dues vary widely by village — see the fee note below and verify the exact figure for any home you are considering.
Clubhouse
The Club Fore Ranch clubhouse is the community’s gathering hub for events and everyday meet-ups.
Resort-style pool
A large community pool — described as heated in several listings — at the amenity center.
Splash pad & playgrounds
A splash park and playgrounds — listings reference multiple community parks — keep younger residents busy.
Fitness center
An on-site fitness center at the amenity core, so workouts don’t require a separate gym trip.
Tennis & pickleball
Courts for tennis and pickleball are a recurring feature in Fore Ranch listings.
Courts & fields
Basketball, sand volleyball, and a soccer field round out the active amenities.
Trails & sidewalks
Walking trails and miles of sidewalks connect the villages, ponds, and parks.

Financing paths worth exploring.
Jennifer can help qualified buyers compare mortgage options through NEXA Lending. The right program depends on the borrower, property, occupancy, income, credit and current guidelines.
Conventional financing
Qualified buyers may choose from fixed- or adjustable-rate conventional options with down-payment and mortgage-insurance requirements that vary by program.
FHA financing
Qualified buyers may explore FHA financing, which may offer a lower down-payment path for eligible owner-occupants, subject to property and borrower eligibility.
VA financing
Eligible veterans, active-duty service members and certain surviving spouses may qualify for VA financing, which may include a zero-down-payment option.
Condo & townhome financing
Qualified buyers of Brighton condos or Wynchase townhomes may need project and association review as part of approval; Jennifer can help you check a specific home’s eligibility early.
Programs, rates, terms, loan limits and funding availability are subject to change. Not all borrowers, properties or communities will qualify. This is not a commitment to lend.
