Esplanade at Highland Ranch

Clermont | Central Florida

Esplanade at Highland Ranch is a gated 55+ active adult community in Clermont, Florida, known for newer homes, resort-style amenities, and a more boutique community feel than some of the larger Central Florida active adult developments. It was built by Taylor Morrison and is now largely resale-based, giving buyers access to an established neighborhood with completed amenities

Relocating to an Active Adult Community Is Different

A 55+ Community in Clermont

Esplanade at Highland Ranch was developed as a gated age-restricted community for active adults seeking low-maintenance living and access to organized amenities. Third-party community sources consistently describe it as a 55+ community in Clermont, and Taylor Morrison’s official community page confirms the development is sold out, which means most opportunities today are resale homes.

The community is often appealing to buyers who want a newer home than many long-established 55+ neighborhoods, while still having the structure and amenities expected in an active adult setting. Homes were built in the mid-2010s through early 2020s, which generally means more modern layouts and finishes than older active adult inventory in the area.

Central Florida Access

Located in Clermont

Esplanade at Highland Ranch is located in Clermont in Lake County, with access to local shopping, dining, and major roadways serving the western Orlando area. Community sources place it near Old Highway 50 West and Blackstill Lake Road, and note convenient access to nearby Clermont and Winter Garden amenities.

This location is often attractive to buyers who want an active adult community environment while still being within reach of daily services, healthcare, and the broader Central Florida region. Clermont’s location also tends to appeal to buyers looking for a less tourism-centered feel than some communities closer to the I-4 resort corridor. This last point is an interpretation based on location and should be treated as a practical observation rather than a formal claim.

Housing Options

Newer Single-Family Homes

Esplanade at Highland Ranch consists of single-family homes built by Taylor Morrison. Community sources describe multiple home collections and note one-story living, open layouts, modern kitchens, and outdoor living features as common characteristics. Reported home sizes generally range from about 1,600 square feet to just over 3,100 square feet, depending on model and lot. Because the builder has sold out the community, most homes available today are resale properties. That gives buyers the opportunity to compare upgraded interiors, lot positions, and completed landscaping across existing inventory rather than relying on unfinished future phases. Taylor Morrison’s official page lists Esplanade at Highland Ranch as sold out. That means the community has moved into a resale phase rather than an active new-construction phase. For buyers, that changes the shopping process. Instead of choosing from builder inventory, the focus is on comparing individual resale homes based on upgrades, lot placement, condition, and proximity to amenities. It also means buyers should expect variation from one listing to the next rather than a uniform builder package.

Community Amenities

Resort-Style Features and Social Spaces

Amenities are a major part of Esplanade at Highland Ranch’s appeal. Community sources describe a clubhouse with a fitness center, multi-purpose and social spaces, card and billiards rooms, and treatment or massage space. Outdoor amenities include a resort-style pool and spa, resistance pool, covered lanai, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, pickleball courts, bocce courts, a tennis court, and walking or biking trails. This amenity mix supports both structured activities and more casual everyday recreation, which is often a strong draw for buyers comparing active adult communities in Central Florida.

Community Lifestyle

Active Living in a Smaller-Scale Setting

Esplanade at Highland Ranch is frequently described as offering a social, amenity-rich lifestyle with organized events and activities. Community sources mention a lifestyle director, along with activities such as social gatherings, day trips, holiday events, pickleball, walking groups, and other community programming.

Compared with some larger active adult communities, Esplanade at Highland Ranch tends to present as a more boutique option. That can make it appealing to buyers who want active living and strong amenities without the scale of a very large master-planned development. This comparison is an inference based on reported size and amenity structure.
