Rye Wilderness in Bradenton: Affordable & Spacious Homes for Sale

Over the last few years, the housing market in eastern Bradenton has been attracting certain types of home buyers, particularly those who are interested in homes built on spacious lots.  These house hunters may be from up North who owned a few acres of property or they may be members of the Millennial Generation who plan to welcome their parents, grandparents or other close relatives into their homes.

Horton understands the needs of these modern home buyers in Southwest Florida; this much is made clear with Rye Wilderness, a new residential community located just northwest of Lake Manatee State Park.  The floor plans in this neighborhood are much larger than the average single-family homes found west of I-75; even the three-bedroom and three-bathroom models are built on 2,558 square feet in half-acre lots. The largest models feature up to six bedrooms and four bathrooms built on more than 4,000 square feet of air-conditioned space.

Pricing as Rye Wilderness starts around $350K; the most spacious estates are usually priced around $600K. D.R. Horton has put a lot of thought and attention to detail to this neighborhood; some of the four-bedroom models include swimming pools with child safety fences, lanais with screen enclosures, walk-in closets, large foyer, cathedral ceilings, easy-to-use hurricane shutters, gourmet kitchens, etc.

Rye Wilderness is certainly a very appealing neighborhood for families.  This is an upscale and secluded community that inspires privacy and safety. Each large home site is surrounded by meticulous landscaping and green areas, which are complemented by a community park and playground.  With two nature preserves located close to this neighborhood, Rye Wilderness is perfect for family members who enjoy to exploring the outdoors.
