Sunrise Preserve

Sunrise Preserve New Homes for Sale – Sarasota, Florida 34238

Sunrise Preserve is a gated community developed starting in 2017 on a 115-acre parcel off east of Honore Avenue and west of Interstate 75, a prime destination for buyers of Sarasota homes for sale. This community’s site spreads adjacent northeast of Palmer Ranch and primarily consists of the 18-hole links of Sunrise Golf Club which was built in 1971 and was closed in 2004.

The co-developer of Sunrise Preserve is Canada’s No. 1 builder, Mattamy Homes, which paid $14.3 million in its acquisition of the Sunrise golf course in 2016. The builder also acquired for $2.5 million another two parcels to create the community’s entrance on Honore Avenue. Mattamy partnered with Sarasota-based Vanguard Land Ventures for the development of this community.

Single Family Homes or Villas?

Sunrise Preserve is planned for up to 425 home sites, with its Honore Avenue access just across the entrance to the well-established community of The Hamptons at Palmer Ranch. For the Sunrise Preserve’s first phase, Mattamy platted some 300 lots for single family homes and about 60 for paired villas.

This developer also set lifestyle amenities at the Sunrise Preserve, which include a clubhouse, a resort-style pool and sports courts plus the services of an activities director. Open space of 44 acres, 4 percent over the 30 percent of total acreage Sarasota County requires on community developments, have been allocated at Sunrise Preserve.
