Ave Maria Homes for Sale

A golf cart-friendly master-planned town in eastern Collier County, next door to Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary.

Ave Maria is a master-planned town in eastern Collier County, founded in 2007 and regularly ranked among the top-selling master-planned communities in the country. It’s a golf cart community with a small-town feel and so much to enjoy, and it sits right next door to Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary.

Schools

Ave Maria is home to Ave Maria University and Donahue Academy, a private K–12 school that often has a wait list. Public schools are part of Collier County Public Schools, and I always recommend confirming current school assignments with the district.

Location

Ave Maria is about 40 minutes from I-75 and about an hour from the Gulf beaches, and it’s roughly an hour from Broward County on the east coast.
