The Enclave at the Villages of Pinetree is a collection of 275 single-family homes located just north of the Palmer Ranch master-planned development in Sarasota County. Most of the spacious homes in this neighborhood were completed within the last eight years. Just like its name suggest, The Enclave features privacy and tranquility thanks to its careful arrangement of homes in circles surrounded by ponds, lakes and carefully landscaped Florida vegetation.

The three residential sections of The Enclave are not connected by roads for the purpose of minimizing traffic and keeping noise down to a minimum. Neighbors can visit each section by crossing footbridges. This is a neighborhood that caters to home buyers who are looking for properties that feature more than 2,000 square feet of living space. The architectural design consists of a modern update on the Mediterranean revival style
