Skye Ranch is a 1,000-acre master-planned community in Sarasota, east of I-75 at the intersection of Clark Road (SR 72) and Lorraine Road. It broke ground in April 2019 and, at full build-out, is planned for roughly 1,200 single-family homes and 360 townhomes (Moving to Florida Guide and Taylor Morrison materials, 2026).
The community is organized as several neighborhoods under one master association. Cassia is the single-family core, the Townhomes (now expanding into newer townhome sections) offer the lower-priced entry, and Esplanade at Skye Ranch is a gated 55-plus enclave with its own resort clubhouse. Taylor Morrison is the master developer, with luxury builders including John Cannon Homes also active in the community.
The amenity story centers on The Hub, a fitness and recreation building with a lap pool, resort pool, splash features, basketball, a rock wall, and a cafe, plus Turner Park, Rendezvous Park, and more than 25 miles of planned trails through preserved wetlands. An on-site K-8 public school (Skye Ranch School) opened in August 2025.
The pitch is new-construction Sarasota living with a deep amenity package and an east-of-I-75 location near Siesta Key and downtown. The work is reading the neighborhood, confirming the HOA tier and the CDD assessment per parcel, and weighing builder inventory against early resale before you anchor on a number.
