Gator Creek Estates Real Estate in Sarasota, FL
Gator Creek Estates homes for sale sit three miles east of I-75 on the Bee Ridge Extension, just 69 custom homes spread across more than 500 acres, lots averaging 5 to 10 acres apiece. Estate-style homes here run 3,755 to 8,000 square feet, four to nine bedrooms, and mature oaks, cypress, magnolia, and pine give the whole neighborhood a hidden, old Florida feel.
Bald eagles, deer, foxes, hawks, and the occasional gator show up regularly, and a private bridle trail winds through the community for residents zoned to keep horses. Gator Creek Golf Club sits at the center, an 18-hole course designed by Joe Lee with equity membership capped at 250, though joining isn’t required to live here. Downtown Sarasota runs about 14 miles away, and Siesta Key Beach is roughly 12 miles out.
