Skye Ranch is a new master planned community coming to Sarasota. Located east of I-75 off SR 72, at the intersection with Lorraine Road (former Bee Ridge Rd extension), Skye Ranch will have multiple neighborhoods.  Each will have it's own amenities center.  In total, 6000 homes are planned. Skye Ranch community site map for first new home neighborhood There is a tremendous amount of pasture land south of SR 72 and east of I-75. To put the size of 2,000 acre Skye Ranch in perspective, The West Villages has 10,000 acres and Lakewood Ranch has 31,000 acres. Skye Ranch will have a full range of housing: condos similar to the Garden Condos in Esplanade Palmer Ranch and Esplanade at Lakewood Ranch , paired villas, entry level single family homes, and large executive homes on 90' wide lots. One of the frustrations new home buyers have with Sarasota new homes is their proximity to I-75 and traffic noise.  Skye Ranch is located far enough east of the interstate ...

Another new home community called Cielo is getting ready to open in early 2020. Cielo is located on Jacaranda Blvd, just west of sister community Milano.  There will be a total of 71 new homes, with single family homes and optional 2 story floor plans. Cielo will have low HOA fees and no CDD fees, with no community club house or pool to maintain.  There will be a playground, dog park and open grassy areas. Site of Cielo new homes in Venice FL, west of Milano off Jacaranda Blvd. Cielo is really geared toward families and multi-generational home buyers, who don't want to pay for a lot of extra amenities they may not use.  It will be very much like Windwood , by the same builder. Remember, new homes cost the same as the builder's advertised prices when you're working with your own Realtor.  Contact me for more information about Cielo or any other Venice FL area new home community.

As your Sarasota new home specialist, I bring you video tours of new construction homes and condos. I just posted a tour of Promenade Palmer Ranch, a new community of town homes located at the intersection of Sawyer Loop and McIntosh Road. Promenade town homes are an excellent value with prices generally well under $300,000, and are built with all concrete block, even on the 2nd floor.  These town homes have open living and kitchen concept floor plans, generously sized bedrooms, and attached 1 car garages. Compare Promenade to other new condos and villas in the Palmer Ranch area, such as Hammock Preserve and Esplanade Palmer Ranch.  The villas in Hammock Preserve are priced up to $100,000 higher, while the "garden condos" in Esplanade Palmer Ranch are priced similarly to Promenade, but with no attached garages.  The units here are either first or 2nd floor, with no elevators. For a current list of new and resale town homes in Promenade, visit my website:...

New garden condos are available in Esplanade on Palmer Ranch . In case you're not familiar, Esplanade is located on Honore, south of the established neighborhood The Isles on Palmer Ranch.  This is an active lifestyle neighborhood, with a resort level club house and pool, with Bahama Bar, tennis, pickleball, hiking and biking trails that connect to The Legacy Trail, and a full time activities director. The garden condos are the same floor plans you'll find in it's sister community, Esplanade at Lakewood Ranch .  Prices start in the mid to upper $200,000's.  The first set of condo buildings is immediately adjacen to the club house. As your Sarasota new home specialist, I'm keeping up on all the construction progress in the area, so you don't have to hunt for builder's websites (who don't provide these types of videos).  Remember, new homes prices are the same as the builder's advertised price when you're working with your own Realto...

Yesterday I toured the model homes by Cardel Homes in Worthington. Worthington is a new home community located east of I-75, at the intersection of Iona Rd and Palmer Blvd. Cardel Homes may not be a name that's familiar with many Sarasota home buyers, but they are currently also building in Country Club East in Lakewood Ranch .  I was quite impressed by their models.  There are 5 models with 3-5 bedrooms and 3-4 baths, starting in the low $400's.  Optioned out, plus lot premiums, a new home here will likely range from the high $400's to high $600's. Cardel Homes model home great room in Worthington Cardel Homes model home open plan kitchen with available natural gas Master bath in Cardel Homes model in Worthington Unique master bath layout With so many new home choices in this price range, why would anyone buy a Cardel Home in Worthington?  In my opinion, they make excellent use of space, and emphasize living areas that get the most use in...
