About Livingston Woods

Livingston Woods is a distinctive, non-gated estate neighborhood in North Naples, located near Livingston Road between Pine Ridge Road and Vanderbilt Beach Road. Known for its unusually large homesites, mature trees and country-like atmosphere, the community offers a residential experience that feels remarkably private despite being surrounded by some of North Naples’ most convenient shopping, dining, recreation and everyday services. Properties commonly range from approximately one to five acres, giving homeowners considerably more space and separation than is typical in most Naples neighborhoods.

Homes in Livingston Woods are predominantly custom single-family estates, resulting in tremendous variety in architecture, size, age and design. Original residences sit alongside extensively renovated properties and newer custom estates, while many homesites offer room for private pools, guest accommodations, detached garages, workshops, recreational spaces or equestrian facilities where permitted. With no master homeowners association and no centralized community amenity complex, Livingston Woods appeals to buyers who value acreage, privacy and greater independence while still wanting convenient access to Mercato, Waterside Shops, Gulf beaches, healthcare, schools and destinations throughout Naples.

Why People Like the Livingston Woods Community

  • Estate-Sized Homesites: Properties commonly range from approximately one to five acres, providing exceptional space for Naples.
  • Privacy and Separation: Mature vegetation, deep setbacks and large parcels create considerably more privacy than most traditional subdivisions.
  • Custom Homes: Individually designed residences create architectural variety and allow buyers to find properties with very different features and lifestyles.
  • No Master HOA: Homeowners do not have the mandatory dues, community-wide architectural standards or shared recreational obligations associated with a traditional HOA community.
  • Equestrian Potential: Livingston Woods is known for properties where horses and equestrian facilities may be possible, subject to the requirements applicable to the individual parcel.
  • Central North Naples Location: Despite the acreage and rural atmosphere, shopping, dining, beaches, healthcare and major roadways are conveniently accessible.

What You Need to Know About Living in Livingston Woods

  • There Is No Master HOA: Property owners have greater independence, but that does not mean there are no rules. Collier County zoning, permitting, building codes and other applicable requirements still govern property use and improvements.
  • The Community Is Non-Gated: Livingston Woods has open neighborhood streets, although many individual estates have their own private gated entrances.
  • Property-Specific Due Diligence Is Especially Important: With large parcels and custom homes, buyers should evaluate zoning, wetlands, flood considerations, permits, easements, utilities, septic or sewer arrangements and other factors applicable to the specific property.
  • Not Every Parcel Has the Same Development Potential: Horses, barns, guest houses, workshops, recreational courts and other improvements may be possible on certain properties, but buyers should verify what is permitted before relying on a property’s future-use potential.
  • Homes Vary Dramatically: Construction, age, renovations, hurricane protection, mechanical systems, outbuildings and overall condition can differ substantially from one estate to another.
  • Acreage Requires Maintenance: Larger properties can provide tremendous privacy and flexibility, but landscaping, irrigation, fencing, tree care, drainage and other maintenance responsibilities should be considered when evaluating ownership.

Livingston Woods Amenities

Livingston Woods does not have a clubhouse, community swimming pool, fitness center or other centralized recreational facilities. Instead, the acreage itself is the amenity. Large homesites allow individual owners to create private outdoor environments that would be difficult to accommodate in most Naples communities, and existing properties can include swimming pools and spas, outdoor kitchens, guest houses, detached garages, workshops, gardens, recreational areas and equestrian facilities. Because every property is different, these features should be evaluated individually rather than assumed to be available throughout the neighborhood.

The natural environment is equally important to the Livingston Woods lifestyle. Mature pines, palms and tropical vegetation create a wooded setting, while the larger parcels provide room for gardens, animals and outdoor recreation directly at home. Some properties have private gates, barns, paddocks or other specialized improvements, reinforcing the neighborhood’s estate and country-like character. For buyers who want room for hobbies, vehicles, animals or simply more separation from neighboring homes, the flexibility of the properties can be more valuable than a traditional resort-style amenity package.

What makes Livingston Woods particularly unusual is that this acreage lifestyle exists in the middle of North Naples rather than on its distant outskirts. Mercato, Waterside Shops, restaurants, shopping, healthcare, beaches and major roadways are all readily accessible, allowing residents to combine substantial private acreage with the conveniences of living in a central Naples location. That combination of space, privacy, flexibility and accessibility is ultimately the community’s most important amenity.
