Where Does Rick Ross Live in Florida? Inside His Southwest Ranches Mansion

Where does Rick Ross live? The rapper's main home is a huge estate in Fayetteville, Georgia, south of Atlanta. His Florida home is a six-bedroom mansion in Southwest Ranches, a horse-country town in western Broward County. He bought it in 2021 and put it up for sale in late 2025. Ross grew up in Carol City, in what is now Miami Gardens, so South Florida is home ground for him. Here is what public reporting says about both places, and what homes near his Florida house cost today.

Key takeaways

• Southwest Ranches, Broward County: a gated estate in the Landmark Ranch Estates community, bought from former NBA star Amar'e Stoudemire.
• Reported price: $3.5 million in cash in March 2021, then listed for $6.5 million in October 2025.
• Reported size: about 8,675 square feet across a main house and a guesthouse, on roughly 2.3 acres, with a nine-car garage and a movie theater.
• Main home: the 235-acre Promise Land estate in Fayetteville, Georgia, which he bought from Evander Holyfield for $5.8 million in 2014.

Where does Rick Ross live in Florida?

Southwest Ranches is a small town in southwest Broward County, west of Davie and north of Miramar. It has about 7,000 residents and a rural feel. Lots run from one acre to five acres or more, and the town allows horses and barns on most of them. There are no high-rises and very few shops. People move here for privacy and land, not for nightlife. Athletes, executives and entertainers who work in Miami or Fort Lauderdale but want space tend to look here first.

Ross bought in a gated community called Landmark Ranch Estates. South Florida Business and Wealth reported the sale in March 2021. He paid $3.5 million in cash, and the seller was a trust tied to Amar'e Stoudemire, the former Miami Heat and New York Knicks forward. The magazine noted that Ross grew up in Carol City and named his first album Port of Miami, so the move put him back near his roots.

Inside the reported Southwest Ranches mansion

The house sits on about 2.3 acres. At the 2021 sale, the main house had four bedrooms and 5.5 baths in about 7,361 square feet, and a separate guesthouse added two bedrooms and one bath in about 1,314 square feet. That is roughly 8,675 square feet of living space in total. The listing in 2025 described a chef's kitchen, a soundproof movie theater, a custom bar, two offices, a resort-style pool with a waterslide, and a nine-car garage. Miami New Times and Complex both reported those details when the home hit the market.

Ross put his own stamp on it. Reports say he added a new roof and pressed his double-R logo into the driveway. Then in October 2025 he listed the estate for $6.5 million, which is nearly double what he paid four years earlier. As of this writing, we have not seen a reported closing, so the home may still be for sale or may have traded off-market. Pure Equity does not publish private addresses, so we name the community and town only.

Why Rick Ross chose Southwest Ranches

The reasons on record are simple. First, Ross is from Miami-Dade, and his music has always leaned on that identity. Second, the town gives him land and a gate without leaving the metro area. Fort Lauderdale is about 30 minutes east and Miami about 40 minutes south. Third, he was buying from a fellow celebrity in a community that already had experience with high-profile owners. Stoudemire had lived there quietly for years.

Ross has also talked publicly about property as a business. He has said he treats his homes as assets and buys them the way he buys car washes and restaurant franchises. The $6.5 million asking price in 2025 fits that pattern. Rolling Out framed the listing as part of a wider push into other ventures, though Ross himself did not say why he was selling.

There is a practical side too. A house of this size costs real money to run, and an owner who spends most of the year in Georgia pays for staff, pool care and insurance on a home that sits empty. Broward County insurance rates have climbed since 2021, and that has pushed some part-time owners to sell. Ross has not said that was his reason. Still, it is the pattern brokers in the western suburbs describe when a second home comes to market after a few years.

Where else does Rick Ross live?

His primary home is in Georgia, and it is a big one. In 2014 he bought Evander Holyfield's estate in Fayetteville for $5.8 million, per reporting collected by Celebrity Net Worth and others. The boxer built it between 1994 and 1999 and later lost it to foreclosure. The mansion has about 45,000 square feet, 109 rooms, 12 bedrooms and 21 bathrooms. There is a dining room for 100 people and a 350,000-gallon pool. Ross calls it the Promise Land.

He has kept adding land. In 2021, 11Alive in Atlanta reported that he bought a neighboring 87 acres for about $1 million, which took the compound past 300 acres. He hosts his annual car show there and has applied for permits to keep exotic animals on the grounds. So the Georgia estate is where he spends most of his time, and the Florida house is the second home. That is the honest answer to the question in the title.
