A Legacy of Preservation and Performance

Nestled along three miles of the “wild and scenic” Myakka River, Triangle Ranch is far more than a working cattle ranch—it is a 1,143-acre testament to Florida’s natural heritage and ecological resilience. Bordering the Myakka River State Park, the property serves as a critical corridor for over 120 species, including the endangered Florida panther, amidst a landscape of cabbage palms, ancient oaks draped in Spanish moss, and thick palmetto forests.

The Architectural Vision
In keeping with the philosophy of Josh Wynne Construction, the structures at Triangle Ranch are designed to “work with nature,” drawing deep inspiration from the traditional Florida Cracker style. Key design elements emphasize a “sense of place” and environmental responsibility:

• Elevated Structures: Homes are raised for natural flood protection and to maximize airflow.
• Passive Cooling: The use of large overhangs, dog-trot breezeways, and strategically placed windows allows the buildings to breathe, reducing the energy burden of the local climate.
• Authentic Materials: The project utilizes local resources like southern yellow pine, Florida cypress, and textured “tabby” finishes—an old-school technique using coquina and mortar that makes the architecture feel as though it “grew from the ground”.

Sustainable Excellence
As a pioneer in high-performance building, Josh Wynne Construction brought its award-winning commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability to this project. Like your previous LEED Platinum achievements, Triangle Ranch balances sophisticated modern living with an unwavering respect for the land, ensuring this picturesque property remains a permanent part of Florida’s protected wild inventory.
