A good way to gauge the significance of a major residential development is to look at the surrounding infrastructure. In the case of Skye Ranch, located east of I-75, Lorraine Road was extended south beyond Clark Road to improve access into the community. That extension reflects the scale of Skye Ranch and its long-term vision as one of the most impactful master-planned projects in eastern Sarasota.
Skye Ranch is often described as a smaller, newer counterpart to Palmer Ranch, offering a thoughtfully planned mix of housing types and lifestyle amenities across roughly 1,000 acres. At full build-out, Skye Ranch is planned for approximately 1,560 residences, including a mix of single-family homes and townhomes. Multiple respected builders were selected for the initial neighborhoods, including Taylor Morrison, which is responsible for Cassia.
Of the early Skye Ranch neighborhoods, Cassia is widely viewed as the most family-oriented. Homes here are based on Taylor Morrison’s Executive Collection with flexible layouts and generous living space, generally ranging from approximately 1,790 to 3,800+ square feet. The architecture leans toward West Indies styling with subtle Mediterranean influence, giving the streetscape a polished Florida look.
Cassia floor plans offer three, four, and five bedrooms in both one- and two-story designs. Interiors are built for modern living with open kitchens, comfortable gathering spaces, and well-planned primary suites. Depending on the home, buyers may find features such as designer kitchens, covered lanais (often with suite access), garden tubs, and flexible rooms that work well as a home office, den, or guest space.

Amenities are a major reason buyers choose Cassia. Residents enjoy a resort-style pool and clubhouse, plus a splash park, basketball courts, tennis courts, athletic fields, and expansive green space. A large portion of Skye Ranch is dedicated to preserved nature areas, with plans for an extensive network of walking and biking trails designed to connect neighborhoods and future community destinations. In the meantime, everyday shopping and groceries are easy to reach just west of I-75, including Publix and a Walmart Neighborhood Market.
Cassia’s location also supports strong long-term demand. With quick access to I-75, residents can reach Downtown Sarasota in under 20 minutes and enjoy convenient drives to area beaches, dining, and cultural attractions—without giving up the space and neighborhood feel many buyers want.
