Oak Ford Real Estate in Sarasota, FL
Oak Ford homes for sale sit inside an 850-acre natural preserve about 8.5 miles east of I-75 off Fruitville Road, a gated community built for buyers who want real space and quiet. Home sites average a half to a full acre, and nearly every house is custom, so you won’t find a cookie-cutter feel anywhere in the neighborhood. HOA dues cover common areas only, yard care is on you, and there’s no CDD.
One thing worth flagging before you tour: the Oak Ford Golf Course has closed, with its future undecided between reopening as a course or getting sold for redevelopment, so don’t count on golf access being part of the deal right now. That said, the acreage, privacy, and custom-home character still make this one of the more distinctive gated communities east of I-75.
