Lost Tree Preserve Vero Beach: Homes, Prices, HOA
Lost Tree Preserve Vero Beach: Gated Ryan Homes Community, Now Resale Only
- Lost Tree Preserve is a gated single-family community in Vero Beach built by Ryan Homes. The builder has sold out, so every home you buy now is a resale.
- It has about 199 homes, in one- and two-story plans with three to five bedrooms, including some with 3-car garages.
- Homes sold in the year to September 2026 averaged about $471,000, and listings ran about $387,000 to $549,000.
- Ryan marketed it with no CDD and a low HOA. Fees on listings run about $158 to $175 a month, and they cover a clubhouse, pool, fitness area and pickleball.
- These are newer homes built to the current Florida Building Code, which helps a lot on insurance compared with older Vero houses.
Lost Tree Preserve Vero Beach is a newer gated neighborhood of single-family homes that Ryan Homes built out and sold out by spring 2026. It’s one of the few places on the mainland where you can buy a nearly new 4-bedroom house in a gate, with no CDD, for under $500,000. That combination is why it gets a lot of interest from families and from people relocating from up north.
Where Lost Tree Preserve is
Ryan Homes listed the sales model at Pomello Court, Vero Beach, FL 32967. The community’s streets include Canterbridge Drive, Keeson Circle, Myakka Court and Rumine Circle. Ryan marketed it as about 7 miles from the beach, and Bex Realty puts it about 4 miles from Vero Beach Regional Airport.
Don’t confuse it with Lost Tree Village in North Palm Beach. Different county, different world.
The homes at Lost Tree Preserve
Ryan Homes built all of it. Echo Fine Properties counts 199 homes. Listing sites name these floor plans:
- Adeline
- Baymont
- Lynn Haven
- Panama
- Sandalwood
Plans came in one- and two-story versions with three to five bedrooms and two to four baths. Ryan’s marketing listed sizes starting around 1,833 square feet, and some plans offered a 3-car garage. Resale listings in 2026 ran from about 1,554 square feet under air to about 3,000 square feet for a 5-bedroom two-story.
Ryan also pitched the homesites. The marketing mentions oversized and medium homesites, with some backing onto water or preserve. Those lots are worth paying for.

Lost Tree Preserve Vero Beach home prices
Ryan started pricing from the mid $400s. Resale prices have held close to that, which tells you the neighborhood kept its value through a soft market.
| Address | Beds / baths | Sq ft | Asking price | Status (Sept 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6740 Rumine Circle | 3 / 2 | 1,554 | $387,000 | Active |
| 6640 Canterbridge Drive | 4 / 2 | 2,017 | $400,000 | Active |
| 6660 Canterbridge Drive | 4 / 2 | 2,017 | $434,990 | Active |
| 6560 Canterbridge Drive | 3 / 2 | 1,685 | $435,500 | Active |
| 4198 Keeson Circle | 4 / 2 | 1,823 | $494,000 | Active |
| 4213 Keeson Circle | 3 / 2 | 1,996 | $499,000 | Pending |
| 6612 Myakka Court | 5 / 3 | 2,997 | $549,000 | Pending |
Bex Realty’s numbers for the year to September 2026: 10 homes sold, average asking price about $484,500, average sale price about $470,900, about $201 per square foot, and 88 days on market on average. So buyers are getting a few percent off, and homes take about three months to sell. That’s normal for Vero right now.
Momentum Realty’s year-by-year medians tell a similar story: about $466,400 in 2024, about $450,200 in 2025, and $489,000 on five sales so far in 2026. Those are small samples, so don’t read too much into one year. The takeaway is that prices have stayed in a tight band around the high $400s.
Notice the spread between two identical 4-bedroom, 2,017 square foot homes on Canterbridge Drive: $400,000 and $434,990. Upgrades, lot and condition explain a gap like that. I’d pull the closed sales on the exact plan before you offer.
HOA fees and no CDD
Ryan sold Lost Tree Preserve with no CDD, which matters more than people think. A CDD shows up as an extra line on your tax bill, often for years, and plenty of new Florida communities have one. Here you don’t.
The HOA is small. Jome listed it at $158 and up a month, and listings in 2026 showed about $135 to $175 a month. Bex quotes a wider $162 to $500 range, which likely mixes monthly and quarterly figures.
Put that in yearly terms. At about $160 a month, you’re paying about $1,920 a year for a gated entry, a pool and a clubhouse you don’t have to maintain. Plenty of Vero neighborhoods with no amenities charge more.
For that fee you get the community amenities Ryan listed:
- Clubhouse
- Community pool
- Fitness area
- Pickleball courts
Taxes are the bigger number. A new owner’s tax bill resets to market value, and your homestead exemption only helps if this is your primary home. Read Indian River County property tax before you budget, and the homestead exemption guide if you’re moving from out of state.
Insurance, flood and inspections
Newer construction is the best thing going for this neighborhood when it comes to insurance. Homes built in the 2020s have newer roofs and were built under the current Florida Building Code, and those features usually earn wind mitigation credits. Get a wind mitigation report with your inspection even though the house is new. Here’s why that report matters.
Don’t skip the inspection on a newer home. Builder warranty items like stucco cracks, grading, and HVAC issues tend to show up in the first few years. My home inspection checklist for buyers has the list I’d use.
Buying a resale instead of new
With Ryan sold out, your choice here is a resale or a new home somewhere else. I think the resale is often the better deal. The first owner already paid for the things builders charge a lot for, like window treatments, a fence, extra landscaping, and sometimes a screened lanai or a pool. The yard has grown in. Any early punch-list problems have usually been found and fixed.
You also buy on a normal Florida contract instead of a builder’s contract, which means you can negotiate, set your own inspection period, and pick your own lender without losing incentives. And you can close in 30 to 45 days instead of waiting on construction.
What you give up is choice. You can’t pick the plan, the lot, or the finishes. If a specific lot and layout matter more to you than price, keep an eye on this neighborhood and be ready to move when the right one lists.
Schools and daily life
Listing sites don’t agree on school zoning here. Jome lists Dodgertown Elementary, Storm Grove Middle and Indian River Charter High, which is a charter you apply to. Bex lists Treasure Coast Elementary, Storm Grove Middle and Sebastian River High. Always check the district’s zone lookup for the exact address. My post on schools in Vero Beach gives the bigger picture.
Pet rules on listings mention dogs and cats with breed and number limits.
Who Lost Tree Preserve fits
Lost Tree Preserve fits a buyer who wants a newer house, a gate, a pool to walk to, and a low HOA, and doesn’t need to be on the island. It’s a strong pick for families and for anyone relocating who’s worried about insurance on an older home. It won’t suit you if you want acreage, no HOA at all, or to be close to the beach. For those, look at homes with land or the island neighborhoods in my Vero Beach communities guide.
