Description

Imagine living in a community where neighbors become friends, calendars are full of events, and every day feels like a curated resort experience. Sarasota National is widely regarded as one of the most social, active, and established resort-style communities on Florida’s Gulf Coast — and once you live here, it’s easy to see why. This guard-gated enclave is anchored by a private Gordon B. Lewis–designed 18-hole championship golf course (this home is not a mandatory golf villa, so you get the golf and country club without the golf dues), complete with a true “19th hole” dining venue where residents naturally gather after a round. The heart of the community is The Palm Club, offering indoor fine dining and outdoor tiki-bar service overlooking a resort-style pool — the kind of place where you stop for lunch and end up staying for sunset. Recreation here is unmatched: pickleball, tennis, bocce, lap and leisure pools, whirlpool spa, fitness center, card rooms, library, full-service spa, playground, and miles of scenic walking paths weaving through preserved natural areas and lakes. Sarasota National even offers private community apps and disaster-preparedness systems — a level of planning and care that brings peace of mind year-round. And here’s the difference no new community can recreate: this one is fully built-out, mature, and incredibly active socially. The friendships, clubs, events, and culture are already here. Now to the home. This barely-lived-in Orchid villa offers serene lake views, full maintenance-free living, and is currently the lowest-priced villa in all of Sarasota National. Featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, plus a flexible den ideal for a home office or guest retreat, the open-concept design is filled with natural light. The kitchen showcases bright white cabinetry and flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas — perfect for entertaining new friends you haven’t met yet. The primary suite is a calming escape with spa-style bath including a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and generous closet space. Neutral finishes throughout make this home truly turnkey. Located just 4 miles from Wellen Park and under 8 miles to the Gulf beaches of Venice Island and Manasota Key, Sarasota National offers resort living with better geography — closer to beaches, downtown Venice, and everyday conveniences than most comparable communities. If you’ve been waiting for a Sarasota National opportunity that combines lifestyle, location, lake views, value, and condition — this is the one. One or more photos have been virtually staged.
