East County Acreage Luxury Home Sales

Discover a different side of Sarasota where wide-open skies, old Florida landscapes, and 5+ acre homesites create room to live, grow and live free. East of I-75, you’ll find Sarasota acreage for sale that feels genuinely rural, yet remains within reach of Lakewood Ranch, downtown Sarasota, and the Gulf beaches.

Neighborhoods such as Founders Club, The Concession, The Estates at TerraNova, Oak Ford, Saddle Creek, Panther Ridge, The Forest at Hi Hat Ranch, Myakka Valley Ranches and more provide a range of options from luxury golf and estate communities to relaxed, trail-lined horse country. Many homes feature barns, fenced pastures, workshops, guest houses, and long private drives framed by mature oaks and pasture views.

Florida’s climate is ideal for year-round gardening, farming and sustainable homesteading. Abundant sunshine and a long growing season make it possible to cultivate vegetable gardens, orchards, flower beds and hobby farms on your own land, while Florida’s legacy as one of the nation’s leading cattle states underscores its deep agricultural roots.

While many people picture theme parks, beaches and retirement communities when they think of Florida, Sarasota’s east county acreage reveals a quieter, more authentic story – one of starry skies, old-Florida landscapes, and a country lifestyle that remains closely connected to the land.
