Step outside, and you’re just a block away from a heated pool and spa, all nestled within a 1,650-acre park-like oasis packed with fitness facilities, pickleball & tennis courts, and miles of gorgeous walking and biking trails. It truly offers the ultimate resort lifestyle, managing to feel completely serene and tucked away while remaining just minutes from world-class shopping at the UTC Mall, fabulous dining, and the vibrant heart of downtown Sarasota.
