Palmer Ranch offers a great diversity of communities for all kinds of home buyers, but some of them truly stand out in terms of quality construction, suburban planning, amenities, and overall ambiance. If you are looking for a touch of real estate sophistication, Sandhill Preserve Palmer Ranch in Sarasota should be at the top of your list.

Sandhill Preserve is located just west of I-75, not far from the intersection between Honore Avenue and Central Sarasota Parkway; this is a very quiet section of Palmer Ranch, but it is only 25 minutes southeast of Downtown Sarasota and less than 20 minutes from the beaches at Siesta Key. This fairly large community was developed by DiVosta, a luxury builder within the Pulte Group, from 2013 to 2016. The architectural style applied by DiVosta for Sandhill Preserve is a nice interpretation of Mediterranean revival with generous decorative touches.

Even though this is a fairly large neighborhood with more than 300 single-family residences, Sandhill Preserve offers large lots and lush landscaping to maximize privacy. This is the kind of place that will appeal to buyers in search of classier and larger homes. The Sandhill Preserve difference is made clear the moment you drive up to the entrance and past the main gate; this is where you see details such as large stone bowls and a pavilion with manicured shrubbery. The high level of ornamental detail is uniform throughout the neighborhood; it can be appreciated in the common areas as well as in every property.

From crown molding to granite countertops and Tuscan arches to Roman columns, the quality of construction in Sandhill Preserve is bound to win you over. You also have the advantage of numerous lakes and retention ponds providing nice water views. As can be expected from a DiVosta community, residents and guests can access amenities such as tennis courts, a swimming pool, clubhouse, exercise center, and a large picnic area complete with a BBQ pit.
