150 planned homes — smaller than Esplanade at The Heights' 338, a fraction of Azario's 1,400. This is the newest, smallest Esplanade in the Sarasota-Bradenton cluster, and buying here today means buying into a master plan that's still being built around you.

Talk to a Specialist →Every Esplanade rendering looks the same: a completed clubhouse, a full amenity campus, mature landscaping. What a rendering can't show is where a specific community actually sits on its construction timeline. Esplanade at Skye Ranch is new construction inside Skye Ranch, a newer Sarasota County master plan being built out on the south side of Sarasota near the Tamiami Trail and I-75 interchange. At 150 total homes, it's genuinely intimate — but it's also genuinely early. Ask directly how many homes are currently occupied versus still under construction before you assume the full amenity campus you tour in a model center is fully operational today.

Sarasota County's ~0.85% effective tax rate is marginally better than Manatee County's ~0.88%, which applies to the Lakewood Ranch and Bradenton-area Esplanades. For buyers who specifically want to be inside Sarasota County alongside Esplanade on Palmer Ranch rather than Manatee County, Skye Ranch is the newer, smaller, and less expensive entry point between the two Sarasota County options.
Buyers who want the lowest entry price into the Esplanade brand within Sarasota County, who are comfortable with an early-stage community's uncertainty, and who don't need an established social scene on day one are the right fit for Skye Ranch right now. Buyers who want a settled community with a known HOA track record should look at Esplanade on Palmer Ranch (built 2016–2021, resale-only) instead — same county, same tax rate, a completely different stage of maturity.
