The Estates at Sawgrass Lakes Homes for Sale

The Estates at Sawgrass Lakes Homes for Sale

The Estates is the newest of the five gated enclaves in Sawgrass Lakes, in southwest Port St. Lucie's 34953 zip code, and it is where the community's larger custom and semi-custom homes are. The listings below update daily from the MLS. Because the enclave is small, there is often only one home for sale at a time, and sometimes none.

The Homes in The Estates

Where the older Sawgrass Lakes enclaves were built by production builders to a handful of plans, The Estates was set aside for larger homes on bigger lots, many of them custom or semi-custom. Expect more square footage, three-car garages, taller ceilings, pools and outdoor kitchens, and lake or preserve views. Finishes vary from house to house far more than in the rest of the community, so two Estates homes can differ a lot in price and in what you get.

How The Estates Compares to the Other Enclaves

Enclave What to expect
The Estates Newest, largest homes, custom and semi-custom, highest price point in Sawgrass Lakes
Hammock Cove The enclave with the clubhouse and pool
Panther Trace Established one-story block homes, more turnover
Crane Point Small enclave of three- and four-bedroom homes from the early 2000s
The Sanctuary The smallest enclave, rarely more than a listing or two

Buying a Custom Home: What to Check

  • Appraisal: custom homes have fewer direct comparables, so the appraisal deserves attention before you go under contract. I check the comparable sales picture up front.
  • Insurance: newer construction to current wind code usually insures for less. Ask for the wind mitigation report.
  • Pool, lift and outdoor features: get them inspected along with the house, and confirm permits closed.
  • HOA and gate: ask for the budget and rules, and confirm the gate arrangement for the street.

The full monthly cost: HOA dues, taxes and insurance on a larger home add up, and they count toward what you qualify for. As a Realtor and licensed mortgage loan officer (NMLS #1883073), I can show you the real payment on a specific Estates home before you make an offer.
