Remarks: Under contract-accepting backup offers. WHEN YOU SEE IT, YOU KNOW... In communities like The Founders Club, homes are not designed to be replicated. Each residence is custom built, shaped by its setting, architecture, and the vision of its owners, resulting in homes that are experienced rather than simply measured. Some homes emphasize scale, while others emphasize design and daily livability. This John Cannon residence reflects that philosophy through its emphasis on thoughtful design and everyday livability. Set on nearly two-thirds of an acre within the guard-gated Founders Club, the home is positioned to capture sweeping golf and water views while offering a rare sense of openness and privacy at both the front and rear of the property. The homesite provides layered sightlines across fairways, water, and mature landscaping, creating a setting that feels expansive yet serene, an increasingly rare combination within established golf communities. From the moment you arrive, the home reveals a thoughtful architectural layout designed for an elevated lifestyle. High ceilings, natural transitions between spaces, and refined detailing create an atmosphere that feels both elegant and welcoming. Recent enhancements further elevate the home, including fresh interior and exterior paint, quartz countertops in the kitchen and butler’s pantry, and a fully renovated outdoor kitchen designed for effortless entertaining. Premium appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and Wolf range, anchor the kitchen as a true central gathering space. Indoor and outdoor living connect seamlessly along the expansive terrace, where the northeast exposure allows for comfortable enjoyment throughout the day while framing the surrounding views. Updated lighting, remote-controlled blinds in the main living areas, and a centralized multi-zone audio system enhance both comfort and continuity throughout the home. One of the residence’s most distinctive features is its private-entry casita, thoughtfully incorporated as one of the home’s four bedrooms. Offering both separation and connection, it provides exceptional flexibility for visiting guests, extended family, a quiet home office, or a personal retreat—expanding how the home lives without compromising the main residence. The design integrity of this home was recently recognized by John Cannon Homes, who selected the property to be professionally filmed and featured as part of their collection of enduring designs, including an interview with the seller that captures the home’s intent and timeless appeal. Located within The Founders Club, a private golf community spanning over 700 acres of preserved natural beauty, residents enjoy optional access to a Robert Trent Jones Jr. championship course and club amenities, while remaining close to Sarasota’s dining, culture, and Gulf Coast beaches. This is a home defined not by comparison, but by experience. When you see it, you know.

Set within one of Lakewood Ranch's most sought-after addresses, this Tideland model sits on a south-facing preserve lot where the backyard feels genuinely removed from the world. The heated saltwater pool and spa with deck jet water features and panoramic screen enclosure are built for year-round use, and the oversized lanai gives you real room to live outside, not just pass through it.

It opens naturally into a sunlit dining area and a generous living room anchored by a decorative wall with electric fireplace. A full wall of sliding glass doors erases the boundary between inside and out. The primary bedroom opens directly to the pool via slider and feels like a genuine retreat. The bathroom delivers: dual vanities, a freestanding soaker tub, and a walk-in shower with clean, considered design. Every closet in the home, starting with the primary's custom built-ins, is finished with the same attention to detail. Near the front of the house, a second bedroom with en suite bath and walk-in closet offers privacy for guests or family. A den with windows and slider access to the pool works equally well as a home office, reading room, or a 4th bedroom. The laundry room is smartly fitted with folding and hanging stations, and a mudroom with built-in bench at the entry keeps arrivals organized without effort. A half bath doubles as a pool bath, positioned exactly where you need it.
