Not all residential neighborhoods in Palmer Ranch feature single-family homes. A handful of communities in Palmer Ranch have been developed especially for house hunters who are looking for the convenience and comfort of a maintenance-free lifestyle. Such is the case of Botanica Palmer Ranch, an elegant condominium neighborhood located just 20 minutes from Downtown Sarasota.

Botanica Palmer Ranch is located between the exclusive TPC Prestancia Country Club and I-75, just south of Clark Road. This neighborhood is a departure from the high-rise condominium towers that are commonly found across Florida. The condominium units at Botanica resemble chateaus that are more likely to be found in the French countryside. With its graceful residential architecture and its manicured landscaping, Botanica is the recipient of eight Parade of Homes awards in Sarasota County.

The 172 homes at Botanica are surrounded by lakes, ponds and nature preserves. There are two sections in this neighborhood: Castille Lake and Chateau Preserve. The condominium units are arranged in two-story building structures that house two residences each. For the convenience of older residents, the larger units on the second floor feature a private elevator. Pricing starts under $325K for a two-bedroom and two-bathroom unit built on 1,778 square feet. The larger three-bedroom units measure 2,300 square feet and are priced around $650K. Latest pricing will be found below if there is inventory.

Homeowners at Botanica enjoy a truly maintenance-free lifestyle that is ideal for seasonal residents or travelers who must be away from their homes for months or weeks at a time. All aspects of maintenance are included; from interior pest control to lake maintenance and from fire system monitoring to landscaping, Botanica homeowners can truly relax and enjoy their properties.

Botanica has some of the most well-appointed amenities in Palmer Ranch. The clubhouse is the center of social activity, and it includes two swimming pools, a modern fitness center, a lounge, a meeting room, and a picnic area. The beaches of Siesta Key are just a few miles away, and residents enjoy membership discounts at the TPC Prestancia golf courses.
