Not all Gulf Coast adventure involves a coastline, and the more inland, gated community of Sandhill Lake is a wonderful example of that. Just east of I-75 on Clark Road, the collection of only 43 homes is one of the areas best kept secrets with access to some of the only elevation you’ll find in the Sunshine State and a diverse network of parks that appeal to all ages and lifestyles. Floorplans at Sandhill are open and invite the outdoors in – featuring architectural styles ranging from West Indies, Coastal Florida and Spanish Colonial. Many top-of-line finishes are standard in these residences, so while they’re move-in ready, they will feel perfectly customized for effortless living.

Nearby attractions include The Celery Fields, a 400+ acre site owned by Sarasota County consisting of a central hill, open marshlands, deep ponds and abundant native foliage. The hill might be the first thing that draws your attention for its staggering size, perfect for walking the dog and running incline cardio drills, but the natural water areas are not to be missed. The Sarasota Audubon Society and Sarasota County have taken great care in preserving this wetland habitat by planting more than 200,000 aquatic plants and trees and inviting residents to indulge in low-impact activities with two boardwalks.

Another option: Twin Lakes Park (also maintained by the Sarasota County park system) is a 123-acre multi-recreational paradise offering facilities for basketball, bicycling, birding, dog walking, football, picnicking and more. Even better, the park serves as a training base for minor and major league baseball teams – so if catching a complimentary pro game is to your liking, then visiting this park between February and October is a must.
