Stonewalk Preserve, also known as Stone Walk, is a small, established residential community in Venice, Florida. Located off East Venice Avenue in the 34292 ZIP code, the neighborhood consists of approximately 72 single-family homes arranged around a scenic central lake and natural preserve areas.
Stonewalk Preserve stands apart from many larger Venice developments because of its spacious homesites, low-density layout and lack of large shared recreational facilities. There is no CDD, and the community does not have a clubhouse or community swimming pool. Instead, many residences feature private pools, generous outdoor living areas and larger lots with lake or preserve views.
Homes in Stonewalk Preserve
Stonewalk Preserve was developed primarily during the late 2000s and early 2010s. Construction was originally started by Caithness Construction, with Medallion Home later becoming one of the principal builders in the neighborhood.
The community features substantial single-family homes rather than villas, condominiums or townhomes. Residences generally offer approximately 2,000 to more than 3,400 square feet of living space, with many homes situated on lots approaching one-third of an acre.
Buyers may find:
- Three- and four-bedroom floor plans
- Home offices, dens and flexible bonus rooms
- Two- and three-car garages
- Open great-room designs
- High, tray or cathedral ceilings
- Large kitchens with islands and extensive cabinetry
- Screened lanais and outdoor living areas
- Private swimming pools and spas
- Outdoor kitchens
- Lake and pond views
- Preserve and greenbelt settings
- Tile or shingle roofs
- Paver driveways
- Hurricane protection and other property-specific upgrades
Because Stonewalk homes were individually designed and built over several years, floor plans, garage configurations, pool features and interior finishes can vary substantially from one property to another.
Large Homesites & Low-Density Setting
One of Stonewalk Preserve’s most distinctive characteristics is its generous lot size. Many homes occupy approximately 15,000-square-foot homesites, providing considerably more separation between residences than buyers often find in newer master-planned communities.
The larger lots provide additional space for private swimming pools, screened lanais, outdoor kitchens, landscaping and other outdoor living features. Some properties also include three-car garages or oversized driveway areas.
Stonewalk’s single-loop layout follows Cobblestone Circle around the community’s central lake. Interior homesites may overlook the lake, while many properties around the outside of the neighborhood back to preserve or landscaped areas.
Lake & Preserve Views
The design of Stonewalk Preserve takes advantage of its central lake and surrounding natural areas. Many homes enjoy water or preserve views from their lanais, pools and primary living spaces.
Homes positioned around the interior portion of Cobblestone Circle frequently overlook the neighborhood lake, while residences along the outer portion of the community may offer preserve, greenbelt or landscaped views.
This combination of larger homesites and scenic rear exposures contributes to the neighborhood’s quieter, more private residential character.
No Community Pool or Clubhouse
Stonewalk Preserve does not have a community clubhouse, resort pool, fitness center or large recreational amenity complex. Instead, the neighborhood was designed primarily around spacious single-family homes and private residential amenities.
Many Stonewalk homes have their own swimming pools and substantial screened outdoor living areas. Buyers who prefer private recreation rather than paying for extensive shared amenities may find this arrangement especially appealing.
The simpler amenity structure also helps keep community expenses focused primarily on common areas and neighborhood operations rather than maintaining a large clubhouse or recreational campus.
No CDD in Stonewalk Preserve
Stonewalk Preserve does not have a Community Development District, commonly referred to as a CDD.
Homeowners do pay required homeowners association fees, but there is no separate CDD assessment associated with the community. HOA fees help support common-area maintenance and neighborhood operations, while homeowners are generally responsible for maintaining their own residences and landscaping.
HOA fees, rules and included services can change, so buyers should review the current association budget, governing documents, rental restrictions, pet policies and maintenance responsibilities before purchasing.
Is Stonewalk Preserve Gated?
No. Stonewalk Preserve is a deed-restricted community but is not gated.
The neighborhood has a single residential loop along Cobblestone Circle, sidewalks, street lighting, underground utilities and a residential setting tucked away from major through traffic.
Buyers who specifically require a gated entrance may want to compare Stonewalk with other Venice communities offering controlled access.
Utilities in Stonewalk Preserve
Stonewalk homes are served by public water and public sewer, and the neighborhood includes underground utilities.
This differs from some older areas of Venice and Sarasota County where individual residences may depend on wells or septic systems.
Buyers should still confirm utility providers, irrigation systems and other property-specific services for the individual residence they are considering.
