Welcome to Arbour Lake Preserve

Arbour Lake Preserve is a private, gated community offering the convenience of Lakewood Ranch with the prestige of a Sarasota address. Limited to just 37 expansive 90’ estate homesites, this maintenance-assisted neighborhood delivers lake and preserve views with no CDD fees.
In a market filled with large-scale communities offering hundreds of homes, this boutique release creates exclusivity and long-term desirability from the very beginning.

What Is the VIP Reservation Program?
The VIP Reservation Program is a pre-construction opportunity that allows qualified buyers to secure a homesite prior to plat recordation and public release.
Here’s how it works:
-
$10,000 fully refundable reservation deposit
-
Select any currently available homesite (first come, first served)
-
Lock in current base pricing and lot premium
-
One lot per buyer or entity
-
Priority position to contract once the community is approved
Important to understand:
-
A reservation is not a contract to convey real estate
-
No property is sold until the plat is recorded and a Purchase Agreement is executed
-
Once recorded, buyers have five (5) days to execute the Purchase Agreement
After the VIP period ends, remaining lots will be repriced upward, select homesites may be held back, and future releases will occur in controlled phases. This is the only opportunity to access all available homesites at founding pricing.
