A New Gated Conservation Community in Sarasota East
Welcome to Arbour Lake Preserve, an exclusive new conservation community in Sarasota East, ideally located between Fruitville and Bee Ridge Roads. It's designed for those who value privacy, beauty and environmental stewardship — a gated enclave where you live surrounded by nature without sacrificing luxury.
"Arbour Lake Preserve is the most exciting new conservation community coming to Sarasota East, and we look forward to welcoming homeowners into this truly special neighborhood," says Richard Rodgers, Vice President of Sam Rodgers Homes — the family-owned builder behind the community since 1968.
37 Homesites Across Nearly 50 Acres
Just 37 homesites are thoughtfully positioned across nearly 50 acres, creating an intimate neighborhood defined by serenity and space. Roughly three-quarters of the property stays natural — lakes, protected wetlands and trails — so the preserve isn't a buffer at the edge of the community; it is the community. Every expansive homesite enjoys either tranquil lake views or protected wetlands.

The Quiet Side of Sarasota — Minutes from Everything

For buyers comparing new construction homes in Sarasota, FL, that combination is genuinely rare — gated privacy and conservation land on one side of the equation, an established Sarasota address on the other.

★★★★★
“We purchased and constructed a Sam Roger’s home and have been extremely impressed with the quality of work, thoroughness, and cooperation during the entire process. They delivered ahead of schedule and everything was in tip top shape. They have been very attentive to any follow-up details during the shakedown period of occupying the home. The design process was wonderful, and they assisted us with all of the detail options and the costs associated with them. We have built several homes over the years and this was by far the best experience we have had. The outcome has exceeded our expectations.”
★★★★★
“We have lived in a Sam Rodgers Home in GreyHawk Landing, Bradenton for the past 6 1/2 years. Our home, The Birch Model, has been, by far, the best home we've ever lived in. The quality of construction is outstanding, the floor plan is exactly what we need, and the setting is great. The construction manager who supervised the building, Clint Madden, went way over-and-above what we expected. He was AMAZING -- responsive to our needs, helpful with sub-contractors, and a valued advisor even after we moved in. A Sam Rodgers home might be a little pricier than the competition, but it's worth every penny. Everyone connected with Sam Rodgers is a "class act" and very customer service oriented.”
