Sandhill Preserve

Welcome to Sandhill Preserve

308 Single-Family Homes on a gated oasis
DiVosta/Pulte’s newest active lifestyle community in Sarasota


SANDHILL PRESERVE, one of Palmer Ranch’s newer communities (built 2016-2018), is an exciting addition to the portfolio of the highly regarded DiVosta/Pulte active lifestyle communities nationwide. Located east of Honoré Avenue and Central Sarasota Parkway, this gated oasis of 308 pet-friendly single-family homes and maintenance-free villas, is notable for its exceptional quality construction, stylish architecture, low-maintenance, and a wealth of desired state-of-the-art amenities arranged around a scenic and tranquil natural setting. Residents feel like they are living in the middle of a luxurious resort.

The community clubhouse at the heart of it all provides the residents with a sophisticated gathering place and multiple options for entertainment and recreation. A myriad of clubs meet in the activity room, fitness buffs get a good workout in the generously sized fitness center with the latest in cardiovascular and weight-training equipment, events and parties take place in the multi-purpose room near a full catering kitchen. Just outside is a resort-style pool and spa surrounded by a deck, barefoot bar, barbecue grills, and a fire pit. Those who enjoy an active lifestyle will fully appreciate the well-maintained tennis and pickleball courts, and delight in the miles of walking paths and trails alongside lakes, ponds, and wetlands rich with wildlife.

The homes throughout the property represent seven distinct single-family floor plans ranging from 1659 to 2634 square feet of living space. They all have two to four bedrooms and two to four bathrooms, with an attached two or three-car garage. Some homes include eat-in kitchens and covered lanais perfect for entertaining. The HOA fees cover the general maintenance of the community grounds, irrigation, trash removal, and lawn care. This is a pet-friendly community with illuminated sidewalks, and 24-hour protection and watch by a contracted security company.

Sandhill Preserve is close to the allure of downtown Sarasota, the glorious white-sand beaches on the keys, and world-class cultural institutions such as the Sarasota Ballet and Ringling Museum of Art. It’s a lovely community to either live in year-round or arrive from colder climes during the winter months to soak in all the pleasures of the Florida lifestyle.
