What Homes Are Currently for Sale in Livingston Woods?
Livingston Woods homes for sale span single-family estates on one to five acre lots, from renovated ranch-style homes to larger new construction. Browse current listings below, or contact Matt Brown for private showings or off-market opportunities across North Naples acreage communities.
What Makes Livingston Woods Stand Out?
Livingston Woods stands out among Naples acreage communities for four things: no HOA or gate, room to build on one to five acre lots, equestrian access, and a central North Naples location minutes from Mercato and Waterside Shops.
Does Livingston Woods Have Golf Access?
Livingston Woods is not itself a golf or club community, but two private clubs sit within its immediate corridor. Wyndemere Country Club is located on Livingston Road just south of Pine Ridge Road, placing it in the same corridor as Livingston Woods. Membership at Wyndemere includes access to golf, tennis, and a full clubhouse, and is separate from a Livingston Woods home purchase since Livingston Woods carries no bundled club affiliation.
Vineyards Country Club is also within the Pine Ridge Road and Vanderbilt Beach Road corridor, on the east side of I-75, offering another private club option to buyers who want golf access near, but not inside, their acreage property.

What Are the HOA Fees in Livingston Woods?
Livingston Woods carries no mandatory homeowners association and no association dues. There is no shared clubhouse, gate, or common area to fund, which is part of what keeps ongoing costs lower than many gated Naples communities. Some individual lots may carry private easements, deed restrictions, or gate arrangements specific to that property, so buyers should review recorded covenants and the property's title work during due diligence rather than assume every lot in the community carries identical terms. Buyers coming from HOA-governed communities should also expect to handle landscaping, exterior maintenance, and any architectural changes without an association's guidelines or approval process.
What Are the Key Highlights of Livingston Woods Real Estate?
The key highlights of Livingston Woods real estate are no HOA, one to five acre lots, roughly 300 homes, and a central North Naples location that keeps acreage living minutes from the city's core amenities. Livingston Woods sits in a section of North Naples defined by acreage rather than density, offering buyers a rare combination: a non-gated, no-HOA community close to the city's core amenities rather than tucked far outside them. Homes here range from single-story ranch properties built decades ago to larger, newer estate construction, reflecting a community that has been built out gradually over time rather than delivered as a single planned development. With roughly 300 homes on one to five acre lots, Livingston Woods offers a different scale of privacy than the condominium and villa-heavy communities that dominate much of Naples' luxury market. Contact Matt Brown, placed in the top 1.5% of agents nationwide (2025) by RealTrends Verified, to review current Livingston Woods inventory or discuss what a specific acreage lot can support before making an offer.

What Are the Current Real Estate Trends in Livingston Woods?
Livingston Woods saw 9 homes close in 2025, up from just 2 in 2024, with the median closed price settling at $2,100,000, a slight pullback from 2024's $2,425,000 median on a much thinner sales sample. Average days on market rose to 45 in 2025 from 39 in 2024, and active inventory measured 14.6 months of supply, a return toward more typical levels after 2024's unusually thin 66-month supply reading, itself a product of only 2 recorded sales that year rather than a genuine inventory glut. Buyers watching this community should read the 2024 figures as a low-sample-size outlier rather than a trend, and weigh the fuller 2023 and 2025 data more heavily when judging pricing direction.
How Does Livingston Woods Compare to Other Acreage Communities?
Livingston Woods and Oakes Estates share a similar non-gated, no-HOA structure, with lot sizes generally ranging from one to five acres in both communities. Oakes Estates sits east of I-75 along Oakes Boulevard, while Livingston Woods sits west of I-75 off Livingston Road. Pine Ridge Estates offers a different model: an HOA with architectural review, more uniform one-acre lots, an established 1954 history, and a higher-traffic road corridor compared to Livingston Woods.

What Dining, Shopping and Entertainment Options Are Near Livingston Woods?
Livingston Woods' location off Livingston Road puts residents minutes from two of North Naples' primary retail and dining destinations. Mercato offers a mix of upscale shopping, restaurants, and evening entertainment options within an outdoor town-center layout, while Waterside Shops brings a more traditional upscale retail experience with a concentration of dining choices nearby. Together, these two centers give Livingston Woods residents a level of everyday convenience that is uncommon for an acreage community, since most large-lot neighborhoods in Naples sit further from this kind of retail density. Grocery, pharmacy, and medical office needs are also covered within a short drive along the Livingston Road and Airport-Pulling Road corridors, reducing how often residents need to travel further into Naples for daily errands.
Buyers who want a fuller picture of the area's retail scene can browse our guide to shopping in Naples, FL for more on what the wider North Naples corridor offers beyond Mercato and Waterside Shops.
Residents can also make use of the area's seasonal farmers markets for fresh, local produce, a natural fit for a community built around space and outdoor living.
What Can You Do Near Livingston Woods?
Livingston Woods sits within easy reach of private golf clubs, public parks, and Gulf beaches, giving residents a range of recreation options despite the community's own quiet, acreage-driven character.
Golf
Livingston Woods sits within reach of two private clubs, Wyndemere Country Club and Vineyards Country Club, both located in the same Pine Ridge Road / Vanderbilt Beach Road corridor. Neither is bundled with a Livingston Woods home purchase, so buyers interested in club membership should plan for that as a separate consideration alongside their acreage property.
Parks and Recreation
North Collier Regional Park offers sports fields, walking trails, and a large aquatic center, while Sun-N-Fun Lagoon, located within that same park, adds a dedicated water park experience for families. Both sit within a manageable drive of Livingston Woods and offer a public recreation option that doesn't require club membership. Both are part of a wider network of green space covered in our roundup of top parks in Naples, Florida.
Beach Access
Vanderbilt Beach and Clam Pass Park bring Gulf of America (formerly Gulf of Mexico) beach access within a short drive of Livingston Woods. Clam Pass in particular offers a boardwalk trail through mangrove preserve leading to the beach, giving residents a nature-forward route to the water in addition to direct beach parking options nearby. For a closer look at this stretch of coastline, see our guide to Clam Pass Beach and Rhode's End Cafe, one of Naples' lesser-known waterfront spots.

What Schools Serve Livingston Woods?
