Oak Ford Community Guide

Oak Ford offers Sarasota homes on large parcels with rural appeal, appealing to buyers seeking space.

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.
