Gator Creek Estates offers 69 custom-built homes on 5–10 acre lots nestled in a gated, country‑club setting.
Home styles range from 4‑bedroom estates to 8,000 sq ft luxury properties by builders like John Cannon Homes, on acreage that supports horses and privacy
Median 12‑month sale price: approximately $1.5M; average single‑family home around $1.75M; though recent sales show prices down about 4–6% year-over-year at ~$1.4M.
18‑hole private course, par 72, originally designed by Joe Lee (1972), remodeled by Mark McCumber & Mike Beebe (1996), then Ron Garl (2011)
Membership limited to ~250, though homeownership does not mandate club membership.
Features include a clubhouse restaurant and bar, training facilities, and exclusive, low-traffic fairways.
Surrounding equestrian trails, large pastures, and wildlife-rich woodlands offer both golf and horse-lovers a unique setting.
Living here means embracing a rustic‑luxury lifestyle:
Nature and privacy: Expect mature oak, cypress, and magnolia trees, with abundant wildlife—deer, alligators, eagles, bobcats—visible around homes and on the course.
Equestrian ready: Zoned for horses, many homes include barns and bridle trails—perfect for horse enthusiasts.
Safety & space: Gated community, low crime, county‑maintained roads—ideal for big‑lot estate living near Sarasota.
Proximity to amenities: ~14 miles from downtown Sarasota, ~12 miles from Siesta Key Beach, and minutes from I‑75, shopping, and dining.
What makes Gator Creek stand out from Lakewood Ranch Country Club, Laurel Oaks, and Palm Aire:
Estate-sized lots (5–10 acres), many with horse facilities—shared by few others.
Deep privacy, natural setting under canopy with wildlife and no direct loss of acreage to neighbors.
Optional golf membership—you can live here without pressure to join.
Course exclusivity—membership capped, ensuring fewer rounds and more personal attention.
Near more suburban developments like Lakewood Ranch and Palm Aire, which offer smaller lots, denser layouts, and higher community dues. Laurel Oaks targets elite buyers with large estates but less equestrian focus.
Buyer’s market signals: slightly longer days on market and softened pricing offer room for negotiation.
High-end advisory needed: With deals from mid-$1M–$4M+, expert agents like Jon DeRisi can maximize outcomes, navigate club rules, and advise on marketing timing.
Lifestyle fit: Ideal for horse lovers, nature-lovers, and those seeking solitude without sacrificing access to Sarasota’s city life.
Absolutely—Gator Creek Golf Club offers an unparalleled blend of equestrian-friendly, golf‑centric, and luxury estate living within a private, gated setting. It fits buyers seeking space, nature, and exclusivity, without compromising on premier club amenities.
