Toscana Isles is a gated, resort-style lakefront community in Nokomis, Florida, located in the 34275 ZIP code near Laurel Road and Interstate 75. Designed around an extensive system of lakes and waterways, Toscana Isles combines Tuscan-inspired architecture, maintenance-friendly living, water views and a substantial recreational amenity center just north of Venice.
The community includes single-family homes as well as carriage-home condominiums developed over multiple phases from the mid-2010s into the mid-2020s. D.R. Horton was the principal homebuilder, creating a broad selection of one- and two-story residences ranging from smaller maintenance-oriented homes to substantial lakefront properties with private pools, three-car garages and expansive outdoor living areas.
Homes & Condos in Toscana Isles
Toscana Isles offers considerably more housing variety than many buyers initially expect. Single-family residences range from approximately 1,400 square feet to more than 4,000 square feet, while carriage-home condominiums provide another lower-maintenance option within the community.
Depending on the property, buyers may find:
- Two-, three- and four-bedroom floor plans
- Single-story and two-story homes
- Home offices, dens and bonus rooms
- Two- and three-car garages
- Open great-room layouts
- Tile roofs and paver driveways
- Large screened lanais
- Private swimming pools and spas
- Outdoor kitchens
- Lake and preserve views
- Private water access on select lakefront properties
- Hurricane protection and other property-specific upgrades
Because Toscana Isles was developed over multiple phases, home sizes, finishes, association fees and maintenance responsibilities can differ considerably. Buyers should compare individual properties based on age, location, water exposure, upgrades and association structure rather than assuming that all Toscana Isles residences are the same.
Toscana Isles Lakes & Waterfront Living
Water is one of the defining features of Toscana Isles. More than 200 acres of lakes and ponds are incorporated throughout the development, creating extensive water views and recreational opportunities for residents.
Many homesites overlook the community’s larger lakes, while others enjoy smaller lake, pond or preserve settings. Residents can enjoy non-motorized water recreation in designated areas, including kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding and fishing.
A community launch and dock provide water access for residents who do not live directly on the lake. Select waterfront homes may also offer their own private access or dock features.
Buyers interested in a particular waterfront property should verify current lake-use rules, dock permissions and any restrictions associated with that homesite.
Toscana Isles Amenity Center
The Toscana Isles lifestyle centers around an impressive lakefront amenity complex of more than 8,000 square feet.
Community amenities include:
- Lakefront clubhouse and amenity center
- Resort-style infinity-edge swimming pool
- Fitness center

- Catering and event spaces

Gated Community
Toscana Isles is a deed-restricted community with controlled gated access. The neighborhood features landscaped entrances, sidewalks, street lighting and common areas designed around its Tuscan-inspired architectural theme.
Buyers should review the current homeowners association documents for guest procedures, vehicle restrictions, leasing requirements, pet policies, architectural standards and other community rules before purchasing.
Maintenance-Friendly Living
Many Toscana Isles residences offer a maintenance-friendly ownership experience. Depending on the property type and association, fees may include lawn or grounds maintenance, community recreation, pool access, management, common-area expenses and security-related services.
The carriage-home condominiums have a separate association structure and additional maintenance responsibilities that differ from single-family residences.
Because fees and services vary by property and association, buyers should review the current HOA or condominium budget, reserves, insurance responsibilities and included maintenance for the specific residence they are considering.
Toscana Isles CDD
Toscana Isles is located within the Toscana Isles Community Development District, or CDD. The district encompasses approximately 417 acres and was established to help finance and manage infrastructure within the development.
CDD improvements include infrastructure such as stormwater systems, sanitary sewer, water mains, irrigation, landscaping, walls, buffers and other community improvements.
The CDD assessment is typically reflected on the annual property-tax bill and can vary considerably depending on the residence and phase of the community. Buyers should review the current tax bill and CDD assessment associated with the specific property they are considering.
Toscana Isles Carriage Homes
In addition to its single-family residences, Toscana Isles includes carriage-home condominiums offering another option for buyers seeking lower-maintenance living.
These condominium residences provide access to the broader Toscana Isles amenity package while operating under their own condominium association and fee structure.
Condominium buyers should pay particular attention to association fees, insurance responsibilities, reserves, exterior maintenance, leasing policies and other condominium-specific obligations before purchasing.
