The homesites are the big draw. Most are about half an acre, some are larger, and many back up to ponds or preserve, so there’s plenty of room for a pool, a garden or just privacy. The homes were built from about 2004 to 2015 and run from about 2,100 to 4,500 square feet. Rye Wilderness is known for its tile roofs, three-car side-load garages, paver driveways and big screened lanais, and many homes have private pools.
Recent listings have been roughly in the high $800,000s to just under $1 million, with the occasional homesite still coming up for sale. Lot size, the view, the pool and updates all make a big difference in price.
