Description
THE LAST GRAND OAKS HOMESITE IN PANTHER RIDGE IS NOW AVAILABLE- private, quiet, and backed by massive oaks and a creek. Tucked into one of the most desirable pockets of Grand Oaks at Panther Ridge, this vacant lot offers what buyers search for and almost never find: a private, quiet homesite framed by towering live oaks and a natural creek. Not a cookie-cutter LWR lot - this is a place to design a custom home that lives with the land. Shaded, secluded, and distinctly Florida, Grand Oaks is an established Panther Ridge enclave known for mature canopy oak trees, generous homesites, and settled neighborhood character. The neighborhood began in the early 2000s, so the oaks, and pines have had decades to become the architecture of the place. Deed restrictions, a low HOA, and no CDD set it apart from many nearby master-planned communities. Room for a pool, gardens, and, a huge backyard. Panther Ridge itself covers roughly 3,200 acres and a multiple of neighborhoods. Land-first living: an approximately 15-mile private trail network for walking, hiking, and riding horses. Deer, hawks, eagles, and the occasional fox or bobcat are part of ordinary days. You can actually see the stars at night! Elevation is one of Grand Oaks' quiet advantages. This east-county corridor sits on higher inland ground, away from the coast and tidal surge. This parcel is in FEMA Flood Zone X - natural beauty in an inland setting removed from coastal flood risk. You are in the Lakewood Ranch orbit without the high-density village. Panther Ridge sits on SR 70 East, about ten miles east of I-75; LWR is roughly 15 minutes away, with UTC, Sarasota, and the Gulf beaches an easy drive. Schools are a central reason families choose this corridor due to a high graduation rate, athletics, and a deep activities calendar. Dining and daily life punch far above a rural-feeling homesite. Fine Dining & Entertainment can all be found in LWR. Main Street is walkable with mini golf, fine dining, and movie theaters. Waterside Place on Kingfisher Lake adds even more fine dining as well as a splash park, and year-round markets and music. UTC brings major retail and another restaurant row. Medical care is a local asset. Lakewood Ranch Medical Center is a full-service hospital expanded with a new patient tower to roughly 180 beds - ER, cardiovascular, orthopedics, women's services, robotic surgery, and specialists. Also nearby: Florida Cancer Specialists, Johns Hopkins All Children's outpatient care, Ranch offices, plus Sarasota Memorial and HCA Florida Blake. Infrastructure is catching up to the growth. FDOT is widening SR 70 from two lanes to four - six in sections - with new drainage, lighting, landscaping, and 10-foot shared-use paths. Roundabouts are going in at Uihlein, Del Webb, Bourneside, Lindrick, 213th Street East, Panther Ridge Trail, and CR 675 / Waterbury (completion targeted around 2027)- for much better capacity, calmer traffic, safer access. This lot is the premium version of that story - a private Grand Oaks homesite on quiet ground, backing to massive oaks and a creek, with Panther Ridge trails and parks, east Manatee's higher inland setting, and Lakewood Ranch. Bring your builder, site the house to the oaks, and let the creek become the rear view. This is where a custom home should start. Buyer to independently verify lot dimensions, buildable area, wetlands, setbacks, utilities, HOA/architectural guidelines, flood zone, school zoning, and all other facts.
