If you’ve been searching for the perfect place to live in Sarasota, chances are you’ve already heard of Skye Ranch. It’s one of the fastest-growing, most talked-about communities in Sarasota and Manatee County, and for good reason. With resort-style amenities, top-quality homes, and even a school right outside the gates, Skye Ranch is more than just a neighborhood. It’s a lifestyle.
Skye Ranch sits at the corner of Lorraine Road and Clark Road (Highway 72), just three miles from I-75. That means you’re only about:

13 miles to downtown Sarasota, University Town Center, and Waterside Place
Minutes to grocery stores, dining options, and Publix—with even more shops and restaurants being built right outside the gates
It’s the perfect balance of convenience and comfort.
Skye Ranch is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of homeowners. The community is divided into three main sections:
Cassia – Homes priced from $600,000 to over $2 million, offering everything from single-level ranch styles to expansive two-story layouts with over 2,600 square feet. Multi-generational options are available too.
Townhomes – Affordable living starting at $249,000 with low HOA fees. There are 360 of these homes planned.
Esplanade – Built for an active adult lifestyle with resort-style pools, pickleball courts, the Bahama Bar, and community gathering spaces.
When fully complete, Skye Ranch will feature 1,200 single-family homes and 360 townhomes across its 1,000-acre development.
Taylor Morrison, one of the area’s most respected builders, is behind Skye Ranch. Their model homes highlight open-concept designs with features today’s buyers love:
Main-level primary suites
Spacious lofts and flexible spaces
Private offices
Options for extended patios, outdoor kitchens, pools, and fireplaces

A massive resort pool with lap lanes and splash pads
A fully equipped fitness center
A climbing wall, basketball courts, and coffee shop
Club rooms, event spaces, and more
Esplanade residents enjoy even more exclusive amenities like Rendezvous Park, pickleball courts, and the upcoming Venue, which will feature additional dining and recreation. Turner Park brings baseball diamonds, soccer fields, volleyball courts, and playgrounds—making it easy to stay active and connected. And yes, future plans even include a lazy river.
What’s especially exciting is what’s coming next. A 20-acre central village is in the works, complete with:
Publix
Coffee shops
Restaurants
Banks, salons, and more
