8355 VELDA Trail, Sarasota, FL 34241

Welcome to Skye Ranch! This popular gated neighborhood has almost every amenity you can think of and the BRAND NEW K-8 SKYE RANCH SCHOOL opening next door this fall!!! You'll have all the room you need in this 2,922 sq ft Anastasia model, which features a ground floor primary bedroom and office, with 3 more bedrooms upstairs plus a HUGE bonus room and a loft area. The 20'x14' bonus room is currently set up as a movie/play room but would make a great 2nd office, home gym, game room or even a 5th bedroom. Chefs will love the large, well appointed kitchen with gas cooktop, a large pantry, lots of storage and plenty of prep space. The open floorplan is great for entertaining or keeping an eye on your crew in the large backyard, which overlooks a pond and has all sorts of room for games and sports. It's large enough to add a pool, and Southern rear exposure means plenty of sun throughout the day. Home solar panels will provide you with green energy throughout the year while reducing your electric bill AND shielding you from future electricity price increases! Skye Ranch is one of those neighborhoods you'll rarely want to leave once you move in. The world class amenities include "The Hub" community center, which features a resort-style pool with splashpad, kiddie pool, lap pool, spa, BBQ area, indoor basketball court, rock climbing wall, fitness center, movement studio, cafe with espresso bar, fire pit, community room and even a game room for the little ones. Across from The Hub is Turner Park, where you'll have access to an outdoor basketball court, tennis, pickleball, sand volleyball, soccer fields, baseball/softball fields, a dog park (this is a pet friendly neighborhood!) and an event lawn. Skye Ranch even has an Activities Director that coordinates social events for the neighborhood, and miles of scenic trails. This neighborhood IS an amenity. The owners love it so much they're building a larger house in the neighborhood! This is a good one - where else can you find a brand new K-8 school in walking/bike/scooter distance!?
