About this home
Welcome to Ballantrae — Where Florida Living Meets Natural Beauty! Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a spacious, maintenance-free 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom villa with a 2-car garage in the highly sought-after Ballantrae community on Palmer Ranch. Spanning 1,922 square feet of thoughtfully designed single-level living, this light-filled villa delivers the feel of a single-family home without a single outside maintenance worry. Nestled within a private, gated 35-acre parklike sanctuary, Ballantrae is one of Sarasota's best-kept secrets — where otters, eagles, and native wildlife are your neighbors. The lush, mature landscaping and serene greenbelt and garden views create a true Florida retreat. Inside, you'll find solid wood cabinetry, solid surface counters, an updated kitchen with newer appliances, walk-in closets, and ceiling fans and tile throughout. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character, while the enclosed patio invites you to enjoy the outdoors in comfort year-round. Peace of mind comes with a fully re-plumbed system. The HOA covers exterior maintenance including the roof, cable TV, maintenance of grounds, escrow reserves, and private road — all within a well-run community with healthy reserves. Residents enjoy access to a community pool and are adjacent to the Country Club of Sarasota. Location is unbeatable. Step through the gates and everything Sarasota has to offer is within minutes: Siesta Key Beach and its world-famous white sand, Westfield Mall, Legacy Trail, the YMCA, Sprouts, Total Wine, Gulf Gate Library, and a wealth of dining and entertainment options. Zoned for Gulf Gate Elementary, Sarasota Middle, and Riverview High School. This is the Florida lifestyle — come experience Ballantrae for yourself.
