THE LAST GRAND OAKS HOMESITE IN PANTHER RIDGE IS NOW AVAILABLE- private, quiet, and backed by massive oaks and a creek. Tucked into one of the most desirable pockets of Grand Oaks at Panther Ridge, this vacant lot offers what buyers search for and almost never find: a private, quiet homesite framed by towering live oaks and a natural creek. Not a cookie-cutter LWR lot — this is a place to design a custom home that lives with the land. Shaded, secluded, and distinctly Florida, Grand Oaks is an established Panther Ridge enclave known for mature canopy oak trees, generous homesites, and settled neighborhood character. The neighborhood began in the early 2000s, so the oaks, and pines have had decades to become the architecture of the place. Deed restrictions, a low HOA, and no CDD set it apart from many nearby master-planned communities. Room for a pool, gardens, and, a huge backyard. Panther Ridge itself covers roughly 3,200 acres and a multiple of neighborhoods. Land-first living: an approximately 15-mile private trail network for walking, hiking, and riding horses. Deer, hawks, eagles, and the occasional fox or bobcat are part of ordinary days. You can actually see the stars at night! Elevation is one of Grand Oaks’ quiet advantages. This east-county corridor sits on higher inland ground, away from the coast and tidal surge. This parcel is in FEMA Flood Zone X — natural beauty in an inland setting removed from coastal flood risk. You are in the Lakewood Ranch orbit without the high-density village. Panther Ridge sits on SR 70 East, about ten miles east of I-75; LWR is roughly 15 minutes away, with UTC, Sarasota, and the Gulf beaches an easy drive. Schools are a central reason families choose this corridor due to a high graduation rate, athletics, and a deep activities calendar. Dining and daily life punch far above a rural-feeling homesite. Fine Dining & Entertainment can all be found in LWR. Main Street is walkable with mini golf, fine dining, and movie theaters. Waterside Place on Kingfisher Lake adds even more fine dining as well as a splash park, and year-round markets and music. UTC brings major retail and another restaurant row. Medical care is a local asset. Lakewood Ranch Medical Center is a full-service hospital expanded with a new patient tower to roughly 180 beds — ER, cardiovascular, orthopedics, women’s services, robotic surgery, and specialists. Also nearby: Florida Cancer Specialists, Johns Hopkins All Children’s outpatient care, Ranch offices, plus Sarasota Memorial and HCA Florida Blake. Infrastructure is catching up to the growth. FDOT is widening SR 70 from two lanes to four — six in sections — with new drainage, lighting, landscaping, and 10-foot shared-use paths. Roundabouts are going in at Uihlein, Del Webb, Bourneside, Lindrick, 213th Street East, Panther Ridge Trail, and CR 675 / Waterbury (completion targeted around 2027)- for much better capacity, calmer traffic, safer access. This lot is the premium version of that story — a private Grand Oaks homesite on quiet ground, backing to massive oaks and a creek, with Panther Ridge trails and parks, east Manatee’s higher inland setting, and Lakewood Ranch. Bring your builder, site the house to the oaks, and let the creek become the rear view. This is where a custom home should start. Buyer to independently verify lot dimensions, buildable area, wetlands, setbacks, utilities, HOA/architectural guidelines, flood zone, school zoning, and all other facts.

Hidden away at the very end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in the prestigious Forest at Panther Ridge, this gracious gated estate unfolds across 7.83 breathtaking acres of mature oaks and pines. From the property itself you have direct access to a private bridle and foot path that connects seamlessly to the community’s extensive network of riding and hiking trails—creating a true private sanctuary that feels worlds away, yet remains just minutes from everything you need. This 4/5-bed home has been thoughtfully transformed with significant high-value updates that elevate every corner of the property. Step through the gates and follow the long winding driveway to a home that feels immediately welcoming. Classic brick flooring and a charming tongue-and-groove ceiling greet you on the front porch. Inside, soaring 10' ceilings on the main level and vaulted ceilings reaching 12' upstairs create an airy, elegant atmosphere. The formal dining room is a refined statement with rich hardwood floors, classic white wainscoting, and a striking modern linear chandelier. It opens effortlessly into the inviting great room, where a cozy gas-burning fireplace framed in white brick becomes the natural focal point. French doors lead directly to the covered lanai and sparkling pool and spa. The heart of the home is a beautifully updated kitchen featuring all-new appliances (including a glass-front refrigerator and double wall ovens), a large center island, gas cooktop, and breakfast room. Renovated bathrooms, new fixtures throughout, and new ceiling fans add polished modern comfort. Outdoor living has been completely reimagined in 2024: the pool was newly resurfaced, a brand-new above-ground heated spa and deck were added, and a brand-new panoramic screen enclosure now frames virtually uninterrupted views of the lush backyard and pastures. Three brand-new high-efficiency air conditioning systems (two installed in 2025 and one as recently as June 2026), a new water filtration system, and a full roof replacement completed in 2019 deliver energy efficiency. The main-level Primary Suite is a true private retreat. Two generously sized closets finished with high-end organization systems provide elegant storage, while the luxurious spa-style bathroom features dual vanities, an enormous walk-in shower with rain head and body jets, and a large jetted soaking tub. Additional main-level highlights include a large office with striking marble-and-wood flooring, a fully renovated half bath (also serving as the pool bath), and a fully renovated oversized laundry/mud room complete with new washer and dryer. Upstairs you will find a secondary primary suite with its own beautifully remodeled private en-suite bathroom, two additional bedrooms sharing a fully renovated Jack-and-Jill bathroom with dual sinks and walk-in shower, and a spacious loft that offers the perfect flexible space for a media room, office, or play area. Completing the second level is a fully renovated 5th bedroom/bonus room over the garage. Outside, the estate continues to impress: side-load garage and ample parking with circular paved driveway, an expansive backyard centered by a welcoming firepit, a concrete-block workshop with soaring ceilings, fully fenced riding arena, and a 4-stall barn featuring 12x12 stalls with in-and-out paddocks for easy turnout, rubber mats, tack room, and feed room. The property is fenced and cross-fenced with 3 paddocks, plus an RV hookup/charging station and whole-house generator.
