Panther Ridge

Panther Ridge Homes for Sale – Bradenton, Florida

Panther Ridge is a large residential property development in East Manatee County that offers a genuine experience in country living. Essentially an equestrian community in its character, Panther Ridge spreads over 4,500 acres on both flanks of State Road 70 some 10 miles east of Interstate 75.

The development and marketing of Panther Ridge homes for sale started in the mid-1990s, nearly simultaneous with the opening of Lakewood Ranch only about five miles to the east of the property. Buskirk, Summers & Gravely Properties Group (BSG), the developer of Panther Ridge, exerted painstaking efforts to preserve the natural and undisturbed state of this property formerly owned by the Ruth Mott Foundation since the 1930s.

BSG adopted wetland conservation measures and deed restrictions to protect Panther Ridge’s native environment. The developer, towards this end, partnered with Manatee County in amending the local comprehensive plan so that the open spaces adjacent the large Panther Ridge lots would be preserved.

Lakewood Ranch “Dovetail”

At the outset, BSG likewise decided that Panther Ridge homes for sale won’t be competing with those in Lakewood Ranch. This developer’s vision was for its community to be “complementary” with the Lakewood Ranch project, as it recognized the latter’s role in bringing much of the developments needed to make living in East Manatee more viable.

BSG, for its part, solely focused on ensuring that Panther Ridge retains its Old Florida setting of pristine woodlands with pine forests and oak hammocks as well as creeks and wildlife. This developer set some 800 homes in Panther Ridge, spread over seven neighborhoods: The Highlands, Grand Oaks, The Preserve, The Trails, Bridle Creek, The Forest, The Ranches, Foxwood, and The Pointe. The community boasts of 15 miles of trails linking these seven neighborhoods, which notably have addresses of either Myakka City or Bradenton.

The standouts amongst Panther Ridge homes for sale are estates on parcels of up to 20 acres. Other typical lots measure from seven to 14 acres, while some are at least an acre in size.

Although it is nearly as old as Lakewood Ranch marking 2019 as its 25th anniversary, Panther Ridge has newer home builds as recent as 2017. Other typical choices of Panther Ridge homes for sale were built in the early 2000s.
