Heritage Harbour

Heritage Harbour is a premier master-planned community bordering the Manatee River. As a prime, river-front location, the development is nestled on more than 2,500 acres, including 200 acres of island within the Manatee River.  It is located 2 miles east of Interstate 75 on State Road 64. The development is designed to suit various homeowner needs and requirements, and consists of 8 individual communities with homes ranging from condominiums, townhouses, and single-family homes. Paved hiking trails, water-based "blueways" and bike lanes lace the landscape, and native wildlife can be found roaming in both common areas and fenced-off refuge areas.  Several overlooks and other contemplative places to experience the community´s scenic and natural views are part of the trail system.  Wetlands dot the landscape to protect and improve water quality through elaborate filtration processes, as well as provide fish and wildlife habitats.  Heritage Harbour´s Central Park provides outdoor recreation facilities for the community´s residents.  The park is a 36-acre site that includes 1.4 miles walking/jogging paths around Beacon Lake, 4 baseball fields, soccer fields, and a fishing pier. The Stoneybrook Golf Course is an 18-hole, Par 72, championship golf course - designed by Arthur Hills (recognized as one of the world´s top designers).   Located on the southern half of the development, the 7,000 yard, par 72 course plays through a landscape highlighted by mature, wooded, wetland preserves. The Stoneybrook Clubhouse welcomes residents to a well-stocked Pro Shop and restaurant featuring American cuisine and oversized tables for dining comfort.  The clubhouse also features a cozy sitting area with a stone fireplace. The development recently broke ground on the River Strand Golf Course at Heritage Harbour.  Planned as a 27-hole, championship course, and also designed by Arthur Hills, River Strand will sit on approximately 1,000 acres located on the north half of the Heritage Harbour property.  The course will include an aqua range and short-game practice facility featuring chipping, pitching, putting and sand play areas. Other amenities, such as a tennis and golf pro shop, fitness center and an upscale clubhouse with banquet facilities, will be adjacent to course. A mix of multifamily and single-family homes will surround the private course, which is expected to be completed in 2006. Nearly 95 percent of the wetland habitats remain in the natural state, and the community employs a comprehensive strategy for protecting these wetland areas, creating new wetlands, introducing new storm water ponds, and creating new wildlife habitats.

Greenfield Plantation Located two miles east of I-75 on State Road 64 is Greenfield Plantation, with four neighborhoods surrounding an 18-hole golf public course. Haile Middle School and Freedom elementary school border the area, and single-family homes are priced from the low $300,000s and up.  Just a short trip to downtown Bradenton.

Greyhawk Landing Located 3.7 miles east of Interstate 75 on State Road 64, Greyhawk Landing is a private, gated community designed for those who love the outdoors.  Greyhawk features a recreation area, fishing lake, 2 miles of wilderness trails and over 230 acres of nature preserves.  Large ¼ to ½ acre homesites provide every home with a lake or preserve view.

Panther Ridge Panther Ridge is one of the most successful, fastest-selling land and home communities on Florida's west coast. What makes this property truly unique is that the land was never farmed. Left in their native state, the pine and oak hammocks thrived, and gentle creeks still meander through the lush acres. A planned, deed-restricted community offering a unique country lifestyle. Single family homes are on homesites of five to twenty acres with plenty of room for horses, pets and gardening. Protective covenants preserve and enhance the homes and property values. Abounding with mature oaks, pines and colorful wildflowers, this is old Florida at its nostalgic best, and all within minutes of I-75 and east on SR 70.

River Club &  Golf Community A mature community with large lots and a sprawling community has a surrounding 18-hole championship golf course designed by Ron Garl.   River Club is located just east of I-75 off SR 70 in Manatee County.  An environmentally sensitive and controlled environment, this area offers a convenient location with easy access to the amenities of Sarasota and Manatee Counties. The Braden River Elementary and Middle Schools are located on-site for the convenience of families with children. From maintenance-free villas to estate-sized homes, this community offers a variety of home styles and lot sizes.

The Sanctuary at River Club

Tara  Golf & Country Club Business, entertainment and the beaches are all within close proximity of the Tara Golf and Country Club. The beautiful 18-hole championship golf course provides enjoyable and challenging play for all levels of ability.  A variety of residences from villas and condominiums and single-family homes are available to fill your housing needs. The natural beauty of the area enhances the homesites, with many overlooking lakes and a nature preserve.   A equity membership that has very limited opportunities, most of the homes within the community have the Class "A" full membership that comes with most re-sale homes.  Some of the villas and condominiums also have the class "A" membership available.  Give me a call for more details and available properties.  Ideally located just off SR70 and I-75 in East Manatee County, just minutes too many fine restaurants and easy access to Tampa or Naples.

Rosedale Golf & Country Club Situated in the burgeoning area just east of I-75 on State Road 70 in southern Manatee County, Rosedale Golf and Country Club includes single-family homes, golf course villas and lake houses on 335 acres. With its secured entry, bubbling fountains and graceful columns, Rosedale exudes a gracious Southern charm. Residents enjoy 27 championship holes of golf, Har-Tru tennis courts and swimming 365 days of the year. A short drive to downtown Bradenton and Sarasota.  Longboat Key is a smooth 15 minute drive to some of the best beaches around.
