To tee or not to tee? That is the question in Sarasota National, a unique blended community built for golfers and nature lovers. Occupying prime real estate between Venice and North Port on Florida’s Gulf Coast, the community is divided into a pair of distinct subdivisions that provide a luxurious lifestyle for all its residents. “The thing that really sets us apart is our land,” says Debi Harman, a Realtor with RE/MAX Alliance Group and a resident of Sarasota National. “A lot of homes are on the water, but we also have a preserve, so we have all kinds of animals. When you drive in here, it’s like living in a wildlife park.”
Sarasota National' course provides a dramatic backdrop that is a scenic as it is challenging.
Sarasota National is an active community with many bikers, joggers, and walkers.

Homes set on 1,300 acres of protected land
Sarasota National was built with input from the National Audubon Society to lessen the community’s environmental impact. As a result, the homes are set amid 1,300 acres of protected land. The centerpiece of Lake Village is the natural environment, as the subdivision features lakes, natural habitats and the nature-watching they afford. The community’s resort-style amenities begin with the Sarasota National Golf Course. The opening and closing holes include water on the right side from tee to green, and water comes into play on almost every hole. Dining, drinking and card rooms are available at the course’s clubhouse, which is part of a three-building community complex that is surrounded by additional amenities like a pool with beach entry, courts for tennis and pickleball and an 8,000-square-foot event lawn.
Sarasota National features manicured lawns juxtaposed by native wetlands.

West Villages Marketplace has the essentials
The Wellen Park Welcome Center at the Publix-anchored West Villages Marketplace is less than 3 miles away and includes eateries such as Villani & Co., an upscale steak and seafood restaurant, and Irma’s Tacos, a contemporary eatery that features a tequila bar. Wellen Park’s development is projected to continue for years, but it’s already a destination for residents of surrounding communities. “One thing I like about living in Sarasota National is that you can go to Wellen Park and enjoy the amenities, but you come back home and don’t have to deal with the construction,” says Harman.
Sarasota National residents can head to Breakwater Home Fashions for some shopping.

Mediterranean estates and modest townhomes
Golf Village was developed around the 18-hole course at the Sarasota National Golf Club, which began operations in 2008, a full five years before home construction began in earnest. On approximately 800 lots, there are carriage-style townhouses, villas and estate homes with Spanish Mediterranean styles. Residents must be members of the golf club, and HOA assessments are billed quarterly. Housing in Lake Village is similar and incorporates the same Mediterranean motif, although the townhouses are typically smaller. Townhouses typically go for between $350,000 and $450,000, while single-family homes range from roughly $600,000 to more than $1.2 million for the largest waterfront properties.
The estate homes in Sarasota National have grand views of the golf course.

Sarasota National enjoys the services of Breeze Transit.
Highway 41 makes commuting easy
Venice is located between two major coastal cities, with St. Petersburg to the north and Fort Myers to the south. Because of the area’s large nature preserves and suburban layout, the area is mostly car-dependent. Sarasota National sits along Highway 41, offering easy access to the rest of Florida’s western coast.
