Panther Ridge covers 4500 acres total and was designed to be an equestrian-oriented community with 15 +/- miles of hiking and bridle paths. On the South side of St Rd 70 there are 3,000 +/- acres with 3 neighborhoods. Two of them are equestrian oriented, Foxwood and The Pointe. Foxwood has miles of trails as well as a park with a playground and a riding field and The Pointe has riding trails that connect to Foxwood, so one could spend hours exploring on horseback or hiking the gorgeous private bridle paths.

Panther Ridge is contiguous to Lakewood Ranch, which means homeowners are just minutes away from an amazing master-planned community that is really the size of a town. At 50 square miles, it is filled with shopping, dining, arts, entertainment, nature, recreational facilities, golf courses and top-notch schools. Lakewood Ranch has been designed to include eight designated shopping districts, rich with local boutiques, retail outlets and restaurants.

That is all very important to Panther Ridge residents, but the REAL reason everyone wants to live here is simple- there is nothing that can compare to living on a true estate-sized homesite, sitting on the front porch and soaking in the peace and quiet or riding/hiking the gorgeous trails. It is a rare commodity in a very busy world, where space and the privacy it affords is very hard to come by. But living large on a big and very private piece of land? Now THAT'S living!
