Mote Ranch is a master-planned community that was developed between the 1990s and early 2000s, with over 700 single-family homes across nine distinct subdivisions. Most of the community is located in Sarasota, just south of the county line, and features lush natural landscapes, including nature preserves, lakes, and abundant wildlife.

One of Mote Ranch’s hidden gems is its collection of waterfront properties. The northern subdivisions sit along the Braden River, which meanders south into a watershed, while other homes are positioned by various lakes that stretch down toward the University Park Country Club.

The homes in Mote Ranch are predominantly built in Mediterranean Revival style, with Lennar Homes being the primary builder. This community offers larger lot sizes and more affordable pricing compared to other popular master-planned areas like Lakewood Ranch and Palmer Ranch.
