Esplanade at Madeira Ranch

Esplanade at Madeira Ranch is Taylor Morrison's gated 55+ resort-style community in Elk Grove, California, about 40 minutes south of downtown Sacramento. The 62-acre Esplanade West portion of the larger Madeira Ranch master plan delivers 315 single-family homes across three expertly crafted collections — Classics, Premiers, and Estates — with ten distinct floor plans ranging from roughly 1,522 to 2,979 square feet and two to four bedrooms. Pricing currently runs from the mid-$500Ks into the $900Ks, giving buyers real room to choose between a right-sized Classics home and a larger Estates plan without leaving the community. The social heart of the community is The Lodge, which held its grand opening in June 2025. Inside, residents have a full fitness center, a salon and day spa, a lounge with fireplace, multi-purpose and meeting rooms, billiards, and a shuffleboard table. The standout on-site feature is the Barrel House Bistro & Taproom, a private restaurant and pub where residents can grab a pint or a full meal without leaving the neighborhood — a genuine rarity at this price point and community size in the Sacramento market. Outside, residents enjoy a lagoon-style resort pool with loungers, pickleball and tennis courts, bocce ball, a fenced and shaded dog park, walking trails, and outdoor patio space. Phase 1 of the resort pool and amenity campus is completing in 2026, with programming already running under the Esplanade Resort Experiences lifestyle brand. Homes are single-story, low-maintenance, and designed around open-concept living with flex rooms, covered outdoor living spaces, and options suited to downsizers and active retirees alike. Taylor Morrison's Esplanade brand emphasizes wellness programming — fitness classes, social clubs, community events, dining nights — built into the monthly HOA experience. A dedicated golf-cart parking area and cart-accessible routes to nearby shopping plazas are a distinctive touch: residents can hop in a cart to reach Trader Joe's, Safeway, Nugget Markets, and everyday errands without ever putting the car in gear. Elk Grove itself is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Sacramento region, with strong schools, low crime, and excellent medical infrastructure including Kaiser Permanente South Sacramento, Methodist Hospital of Sacramento, and Sutter Medical Plaza Elk Grove all within a short drive. Downtown Sacramento, Old Sacramento Waterfront, the State Capitol, and the airport are all within a 40–60 minute radius, and the community sits within reach of Delta wine country, Napa/Sonoma weekend trips, and Lake Tahoe. Construction began in 2024 and the community is actively selling, with six model homes open and ongoing home releases across all three collections.
