Sandhill Preserve is an exciting new community in the Palmer Ranch master-planned development in Sarasota. Luxury builder DiVosta Homes broke ground in Sandhill Preserve in 2013, and developers are ready to see homeowners enjoy their new neighborhood.

This new community has been developed to meet the rising demand in Southwest Florida for resort-style neighborhoods catering to active adults; these are the type of residential communities that DiVosta Homes specializes in. The first phase of the Sandhill Preserve development involves 111 home sites that will see future expansion for a total of 350 lots.

Home shoppers will have an initial choice of six floor plans at Sandhill Preserve, starting with the two-bedroom and two-bathroom Abbeyville, which is built on 1,673 square feet and starts at $314,990. The Abbeyville model is followed by the larger Castle Rock, which is listed at $318,990; these two floor plans feature a Mediterranean revival style of architecture. The remaining four models mix the Mediterranean style with country manor sensibilities. The most spacious model at Sandhill Preserve is the Tangerly Oak, which is built on 2,589 square feet and starts at $425,990.

This new gated community has a range of amenities for the enjoyment of active residents. The activities are centered on the resort-style swimming pool and clubhouse, a modern exercise center, two tennis courts, a picnic area with BBQ fire pit, and a poolside bar. As in all Palmer Ranch neighborhoods, Sandhill Preserve residents will get to enjoy nature areas with walking paths as well as tropical landscaping.

Sandhill Preserve is located in the southern portion of Palmer Ranch, close to the intersection of Honore Avenue and Central Sarasota Parkway near I-75. Golf and tennis enthusiasts have two country clubs in close proximity, and lovers of the outdoors are just a short drive away from the pristine Oscar Scherer State Park. The Sarasota Square Mall and the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico are less than 30 minutes away.
