Wellen Park Golf & Country Club stopped selling golf-deeded memberships. This home comes with one anyway — and it's for sale.

Napoli II floor plan, 4 bed/2.5 bath, 2,440 sqft, on an oversized corner lot backing to a nature preserve. Built in 2023. Turnkey and fully furnished — bring your bags, that's it.

Chef's kitchen with an oversized island and quartz counters opens to the living and dining space. The primary suite is secluded, with a spa-style bath, private pool access, and its own climate zone. Three more bedrooms — one with French doors, ready for a home office.

Pocket sliding doors open the living room straight onto the pool and hot tub. Upgrades since purchase include a custom electric fireplace, upgraded millwork, a fully insulated 3-car garage, custom closet built-ins, and $20K+ in landscaping.

HOA covers your golf membership, gated access, lawn care, irrigation, cable, and internet — about as close to maintenance-free as Florida living gets.

Championship golf, resort pools, pickleball, tennis, a tiki bar, and a new clubhouse coming — all a golf cart ride from Braves spring training, restaurants, and farmers markets. Venice beaches, 15 minutes out.

Sarasota lost some restaurants in 2026

swipe through for a neighborhood-by neighborhood look at some closures this year - from a 36 year place to a St. Armand’s staple, to a downtown spot that opened and closed in less than 18 months.

Cherokee Park doesn’t come up for sale often — and when it does, it looks like this. 🏡

1714 South Drive sits under a canopy of mature oaks, West of the Trail, moments from Southside Village and downtown Sarasota.

Inside: a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, Saltillo tile, and a kitchen with granite counters + glass-front cabinetry. The primary suite has its own private wing with a skylight soaking tub, plus a flex space off the lanai that could be a studio, gym, or office.

Outside: an oversized caged pool, outdoor kitchen, and a fully fenced, mature lot with total privacy.

Open House this Sunday 8/30 from 1:00 - 3:00 — come see it in person.

📍 1714 South Drive, Sarasota

Just Sold! 😊🏡🎉

I’m excited to congratulate my buyers on their new home in Cape Coral’s Diplomat area! The spectacular saltwater pool, expansive outdoor entertaining space and retractable movie screen made this property an especially fun find for enjoying the Southwest Florida lifestyle. Thoughtful negotiation and guidance throughout the purchase helped bring my buyers successfully from offer to closing, and now it’s time for them to make it their own.
