Foxfire Homes for Sale – Sarasota, Florida 34241

Foxfire is an upscale neighborhood that preserves much of the Old Florida charm of Sarasota. It is located east of Interstate 75 where a new wave of residential developments has taken hold in the housing upturn after the Great Recession. This community spreads on the west flank of Proctor Road after it doglegs to the right from the interstate south towards Clark Road which is pivotal to many opportunities in the Sarasota real estate market.

Foxfire consists of some 40 home sites developed starting in the late 1970s, riding partly on the charm of the public Foxfire Golf Club set up years earlier adjacent west of the community’s acreage. A sister neighborhood, Foxfire West, was also platted on the links’ western flank next to Interstate 75. A new residential community—Waverley—subsequently took over the 188-acre golf course after it was closed in 2006 due to financial difficulties.
