The gated River Strand community offers an array of masterfully designed home options set against a backdrop of natural beauty. With everything from resort-style amenities to country club privileges, there are endless ways to enjoy paradise in Florida year round. River Strand is located in Bradenton, with convenient access to I-75 and various entertainment options from superb shopping and dining to beachcombing and boating.
Golf enthusiasts of all levels are drawn to River Strand’s 27-hole championship golf course with aqua range designed by the renowned Arthur Hills. Every day they can find themselves on the links in their own back yard as a bundled golf membership is included with the purchase of a Veranda or Coach home.
The three Veranda models range from 1,334 to 1,548 square feet with two bedrooms and two baths, priced from the low $200s. The Coach homes feature two spacious models with three bedrooms, two baths and a desirable three-car garage with 1,883 to 2,099 square feet, priced from the mid $200s.
There are three Terrace condominium models available with floor plans ranging from 1,107 to 1,284 square feet with two bedrooms and two baths, with roomy entertaining and dining options in each. A new building of Terrace condominiums has just opened to an enthusiastic response from buyers. “These new Terrace homes seem to be just what many buyers are looking for – a great layout, a great price and all of the extras they desire. We are extremely pleased to see the activity generated from this newest building,” says Dave Meyers, Director of Sales for Lennar’s Southwest Florida Division. With prices starting from the mid $130s and included county club social membership, it’s no wonder people are excited about this perfectly-sized home value.
A country club social membership is also available to homebuyers who purchase one of the Villa, Executive or Manor homes. The Villas offer two fabulous floor plans, each with two bedrooms and two baths. The quaint yet functional living space ranges from 1,417 to 1,564 square feet, priced from the high $100s. The Executive homes cover the gamut from a cozy and comfortable 1,677 square feet to a large and luxurious 3,357 square feet. With six different floor plans, there’s one just right for every buyer. The Manors at the Sanctuary features six models with 1,861 to 3,867 square feet, three to six bedrooms and two to 4.5 baths. These exquisite homes are priced from the high $200s.
Best of all, these are Lennar “Everything’s Included” designs, so homebuyers get thousands of dollars in luxury extras at no extra charge. Included are upgrades such as enhanced construction materials, crown molding, nickel satin-finish hardware, supreme Sherwin-Williams interior paint package, green-certified Mohawk flooring including upgraded carpet and padding, granite countertops, wood cabinets, Schlage security and convenience package and more.
No matter which home model they find themselves falling in love with, all residents can enjoy the expansive 39,000 square foot clubhouse featuring casual and formal dining. Its warm wood décor, centerpiece trickling fountain and painted mural accents make it an inviting gathering place for any occasion. It’s the perfect spot to spend a rainy afternoon with friends, a sunny day lounging on the comfortable furniture and looking out at the beautiful surroundings while playing cards or chatting over a cup of coffee, or enjoying delectable fare without ever having to lift a finger at home. After indulging in all the delicious meals, a well-appointed health and fitness spa helps residents stay invigorated and in shape with equipment and classes designed for all levels. The resort-style pool with cabana facilities and a festive tiki bar will make everyone feel like they’ve landed in their own tropical oasis. The recreational life at River Strand resembles a luxury vacation destination complete with all of the carefree perks and indulgent pleasures you’d expect to pay a high premium for.
