Toll Brothers' Egret Collection at Monterey is one of the newest luxury announcements in the Lakewood Ranch master plan, opening this summer with home plans from 4,320 to 5,801 square feet on oversized 90-foot homesites, many with preserve or lakefront views. Starting prices around $1.4 million put it at the top end of new construction in Lakewood Ranch, with a planned amenity center that includes a resort pool, fitness center, yoga room, and golf simulator. Because this collection is only now opening to the public, early buyers get first pick of the best-positioned lots — we're tracking the release schedule closely and can get clients in for a look as soon as it's practical.
Being early to a just-announced collection like Monterey's Egret line is an advantage — first pick of homesites, base pricing before the increases — but it also means fewer comparables and more reliance on judgment about where value will settle as the neighborhood fills in.
