If you are looking for a great waterfront environment that just happens to have everything that you need in one area, the Lakewood Ranch community is certainly a great place to start. This 8,500 acre master-planned community is phenomenal with seven villages to choose from for your living preferences.
Located on Florida’s Gulf coast in Sarasota county, Lakewood Ranch has 150 miles of trails and community parks. Half of the land designated for this community is either open or a recreational space. It is unique by being the largest green-certified community in the United States. Not only do you live in luxury, you get the opportunity to do so in an eco-friendly atmosphere.
Lakewood Ranch offers a plethora of amenities. Truly a golf lover’s paradise, there are 36 holes of private golf and 18 holes of daily fee golf. There are 18 tennis courts available for the tennis enthusiast, as well as cricket and polo for interested persons. The Lakewood Ranch Athletic Center is available for your fun and fitness needs and the Lakewood Ranch Medical Center is on hand for healthcare purposes. For your convenience, there are also small boutiques, specialty clothing shops, grocery stores, florists, restaurants and a vast amount of other shops to meet your everyday needs.
Home styles are divided into seven villages. Each has their own unique style. They range from single family homes and detached villas to townhomes, condominiums and custom luxury homes. Square footage ranges in each of the villages but start at a little over 1,000 square feet for single family homes up to 6,000 square feet for custom luxury homes. Prices also vary depending on the style of home that you choose.
Single family homes may start around $200,000 to $300,000 whereas custom homes may start at $800,000 and peak at six million dollars. Condominiums are priced around $300,000 and townhomes and other single family homes may be priced from $200,000 to one million dollars. There is something for everyone including cost-conscious home buyers who may be looking for a second home or are in the process of downsizing.
Although there isn’t much need to venture out of the community for necessities, if you like to get out and about and sightsee or visit major attractions, there is much to offer in this area. Beautiful beaches and boating are available for your pleasure. Freshwater lakes are great for catching bass and catfish. Fly-fishers can hook snook, trout or even redfish.
Many state parks are accessible for family outings and picnics. Waterfront restaurants provide for the most discerning palate. Adventurers should check out hot air balloon rides or the Richard Petty Driving Experience. Lakewood Ranch is a spectacular community. It’s just waiting for you to make it your home.
