The Rivergrass Village master plan
Approved today, delivered over time
Rivergrass Village is an approved Stewardship Receiving Area in eastern Collier County under the Rural
Lands Stewardship Area framework. The approved plan spans roughly 998 acres on both sides of Oil Well
Road, east of DeSoto Boulevard.
Inside that boundary the plan sets out residential neighborhoods, lakes, amenity areas, a golf and club
area and a Village Center of roughly 20.9 acres. The 2025 county summary lists 100,000 square feet of
commercial development and 25,000 square feet of civic and governmental space.
Those elements are approved, not open. Timing and the eventual mix of shops, services and civic uses have
not been announced. The wider Town of Big Cypress framework connects Rivergrass with Longwater, Bellmar,
parks, trails and thousands of acres of protected conservation land, and it describes a longer term live,
work and play vision for eastern Collier County. It is a genuinely ambitious plan, and it will unfold
over years rather than months.
