Nearly 1,940 acres of land in Sarasota County has been introduced to the market. Located east of I-75 on Fruitville Road, this untouched expanse of vacant land is perfectly poised to connect with the growth of Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota.

Prime for Development
Known as Indian Creek for the natural creek that winds it’s way through the property, the opportunities for development are significant.

“When built in accordance with the 2050 Comprehensive Plan,” said Matt Drews, Manager of MS&C Commercial, “The vision would be to include a mix of residential hamlets, green space and natural habitat, and even a small commercial component.”

After rezoning from Open Use Estate (OUE) and Open Use Rural (OUR), it is anticipated the property will be approved for building approximately 1,320 – 1,400 residential units.

Presence and Location
Indian Creek also features significant street exposure with 4,030 feet of frontage along the north side of Fruitville Road and nearly 1,267 feet along the west side of Verna Road.

There will be two new road extensions by 2017 that connect University Parkway to Fruitville Road – just west of Indian Creek. The renowned shopping experiences of Lakewood Ranch and the new Mall at University Town Center will be an easy drive away.

Indian Creek is within easy reach of Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch.

A Region of Endless Recreation
Beyond the immediate surroundings, future residents of Indian Creek will be able to take advantage of the many lifestyle opportunities afforded by Florida’s Gulf Coast. Those who can choose to live anywhere pick Southwest Florida for a variety of reasons including the region’s longstanding passion for the arts and the ability to enjoy year-round golf, tennis, fishing and boating.  Viewing wildlife and spending time at local parks ranks high on area past times and of course, visiting our top-rated beaches.

In the last five years, Siesta Beach has been named both the #1 & #2 beach in the United States by Dr. Beach.

“For the past fifty years, the growth of Sarasota has continued further and further out from the waterfront,” said Drews. “There was a time not too long ago when The Meadows was considered way out there. On the map, Indian Creek is out east, but in reality, it is now central to the fabric of where people want to be.”

Asking price: $60 million. For more information on 13493 Fruitville Road, visit the Indian Creek property detail page on the Michael Saunders & Company website.
