The villas and single family homes at Turtle Rock on Palmer Ranch are among the most coveted in Sarasota. While many communities in Palmer Ranch are geared toward golf players and country club members, the focus of Turtle Rock is on residents who truly appreciate nature and serenity.

Turtle Rock is Palmer Ranch’s greenest community. Other neighborhoods may boast artificial lakes and carefully designed landscaping, but Turtle Rock does its best to actually commune with nature. The difference can be felt upon entering the gates of the residential complex. Living in Turtle Rock is like living inside a nature preserve or a Florida state park. More than a dozen lakes and ponds are laid across the neighborhood, making it easy for prospective home buyers to acquire a lakefront property. An inviting and winding nature trail skirts many of the lakes. Imagine taking your guests on a cool nature walk through shaded wooded preserves just feet away from your doorstep.

Exploring the waterways at Turtle Rock in a canoe is another relaxing activity that the whole family can enjoy. Due to its proximity to the Florida Everglades, several native waterfowl species are known to frolic in Turtle Rock’s lakes and ponds. And if that wasn’t enough, the Legacy Trail, a premier hiking and biking path, is just a short walk away from the neighborhood.

Turtle Rock offers a wide variety of properties. Maintenance-free villas are available at its Somerset and Savannah subdivision, while single family residences range from $260K to $580K. The assortment of floor plans varies from three bedrooms up to five bedrooms. All residents have access to the community swimming pool and clubhouse, as well as to its tennis and basketball courts.

Living in harmony with nature does not mean giving up on suburban comforts. Supermarkets and shopping centers are just five minutes away, and the community is served by one of Florida’s finest school districts.
