SW Marion growth: More Fore Ranch homes on the horizon
Long before the construction of Interstate 75 bisected Marion County about five decades ago, Circle Fore Ranch along State Road 200 was a working cattle ranch on 500 acres.
The land, located just west of I-75, continued as a working ranch until the early 2000s, when plans were unveiled by the Fore family to replace cattle with homes – lots of them.
That’s how the Fore Ranch community began nearly two decades ago. Today, there are hundreds of single-family homes, townhomes and condominiums on about 350 to 400 acres. And the development is poised to grow even more in the near future.
