Gracewater

Refined luxury living in a private Sarasota sanctuary.

Overview

Gracewater is an intimate, gated community in Sarasota offering a rare blend of estate-sized homes, resort-style amenities, and a peaceful, nature-rich setting. With carefully preserved wetlands and lakes, it feels worlds away yet sits close to Lakewood Ranch, top schools, and the Gulf Coast.

Lifestyle

A private clubhouse with fitness, pool, and social spaces; walking paths; and a laid-back, neighborly atmosphere. Residents enjoy easy access to Sarasota's beaches, dining, and cultural attractions while returning home to a serene enclave.

Housing options

A mix of single-family homes, villas, and townhomes with upscale finishes and open floor plans. Recent sales start in the mid $400s, and larger new-construction homes list above $1M. HOA dues vary by home type, so verify them for any home you're considering.

Pros

  • Gated, private community
  • Close to Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota amenities
  • Resort-style clubhouse and pool
  • Strong sense of neighborhood and privacy

Considerations

  • Premium pricing compared to surrounding areas
  • Limited inventory and new construction phases
  • Public schools here are part of Sarasota County Schools, which earned an A from the Florida Department of Education for 2025-26, its 23rd A in a row. School zoning changes, so verify the assigned schools for any address with the district before you buy.
