Sherwood Forest Real Estate in Sarasota, FL
Sherwood Forest homes for sale sit at the corner of McIntosh Road and Bahia Vista Street, a heavily wooded, deed-restricted community of about 155 homes built mostly during the 1980s. Streets carry a Robin Hood theme, Friar Tuck Lane, Little John Trail, Maid Marian Lane, and a covered bridge crosses Phillippi Creek near the center of the neighborhood, framed by sprawling oaks draped in Spanish moss. Sizes run 1,700 to over 3,000 square feet, single-story ranch homes on generous 15,000 to 20,000 square foot lots, many with private pools and two-car garages.
No CDD applies here, and pets are welcome throughout. Mostly cul-de-sac streets keep traffic light and the atmosphere quiet despite a genuinely central location. You’re about 5 miles from downtown Sarasota, 8 miles from Lido Key Beach, and zoned for Fruitville Elementary, McIntosh Middle, and Sarasota High School.
