Sarasota Polo Club, Sarasota, Florida
When discussing Sarasota real estate, we have already spoken of the beaches, the Bayfront, the city and the country. We've discussed great family neighborhoods and great retirement communities. But here is a subject rarely written about - polo!
In 1991, the Sarasota Polo Club began hosting sensational polo matches in Lakewood Ranch. With about 130 acres, consisting of nine meticulously groomed and irrigated polo fields, 2 stick and ball fields and a regulation size arena, Sarasota Polo Club is one of the largest clubs in the country. Every Sunday afternoon during season, the public is invited to bring out their picnic baskets and enjoy the thrill of the "fastest game on four feet". With wagon and pony rides for the kids, tailgating parties and entertainment, Sunday polo is the perfect place for a family outing. You can even bring your dog, if you have him on a leash!
Surrounding the polo fields are 35 private ranches, ranging from 5 to 40 acres. These are stunning upscale equestrian estates, and this is the perfect location for horse lovers. During season, over 600 horses are stabled in and around the Club. Most homes have barns, stalls, polo practice facilities and guest houses; all of which can be rented out during polo season if desired. Sarasota Polo Club offers the very finest in country club amenities. HOA fees for the residences are low, but club membership is required.
Sarasota Polo Club is centrally located with access to shopping, dining, golf courses, beaches and the prestigious Out of Door Academy. Because of the exclusivity of the community, homes can cost several million dollars, but are well worth it for those who live the polo lifestyle. Don't make a purchase without a Sarasota buyer agent to represent you, and get you the best deal in this special neighborhood.
