Magnolia Ridge is a small newer enclave within Mote Ranch in the Sarasota area. Located just off Honore Avenue, the neighborhood contains only 14 single-family homes along Magnolia Ridge Place, creating one of the most intimate residential sections of Mote Ranch.
Although Magnolia Ridge homes have Sarasota, Florida 34243 mailing addresses, the neighborhood is located in Manatee County. The subdivision was platted in 2016, with homes constructed primarily from 2018 through 2020, making Magnolia Ridge noticeably newer than many of the original Mote Ranch neighborhoods developed during the 1990s and early 2000s.
Magnolia Ridge Homes
Magnolia Ridge consists of detached single-family homes with contemporary one-story floor plans. Residences generally offer approximately 1,800 to 2,400 square feet of air-conditioned living space, with two- and three-bedroom layouts along with flexible dens, offices, or additional living areas.
Homes commonly include attached two-car garages, open-concept kitchens and living spaces, higher ceilings, covered or screened lanais, tile roofs, and modern construction features. Depending on the property, buyers may also find private swimming pools, extended outdoor living areas, conservation views, pond views, upgraded kitchens and baths, or hurricane-related improvements.
Because Magnolia Ridge was developed much later than most of Mote Ranch, buyers looking for newer construction within an established community may find this small enclave especially appealing.
