Timeless
Appeal
Unprecedented values and diverse landscapes
in an environment of lakes and parks. These key benefits help distinguish
Florida’s newest prestige address, The Lake Club, Lakewood Ranch’s
upscale 1,500-acre private gated club community, from most, if not all,
others.
“One of the primary objectives for The Lake Club is to establish
a distinctive visual identity for the community as a whole, while allowing
for the expression of individual taste and style,” said Tom Danahy,
president of LWR Communities, LLC., the developer of Lakewood Ranch. The
Lake Club is intended to be a complete community of streetscapes, houses,
amenities and landscaping that is based on timeless design principals.
It is part of Lakewood Ranch, an 8,500 acre master - planned community
located on the Manatee/Sarasota county line.
It differs from Florida’s other luxury communities in that there
are large lakes, preserves, private roads and a Tuscan-inspired clubhouse.
The Lake Club distinguishes itself with meticulously crafted guidelines,
which give the neighborhood its signature look and feel.
The Lake Club’s design encourages builders to take creative liberties
so that each custom home and elegant lakefront condominium residence will
appeal to property owners’ desires for privacy and sophistication.
Each home site enjoys a view of either water, a preserve, park or extensive
landscaping.
What sets The Lake Club apart, too, is its painstaking attention to timelessness.
Styles of classic architecture such as Mediterranean, French Country,
English Estate, Neoclassical, West Indies, Spanish Mediterranean and French,
along with a tasteful mix of interior and exterior designs are planned.
“And if a builder and the client decide on yet another classic style,
say Victorian or Greek Revival, this flexibility is built in,” Danahy
said.
Adherence to architectural guidelines enables the developer to create
a community rich in variety and style unique in Florida. Each home’s
plans are reviewed carefully to maintain the integrity of design. “We
feel this helps provide homebuyers a higher level of assurance that this
is a community of exquisite value,” adds Danahy.
Those who are looking for the finer things in life are drawn to communities
such as this, where luxury is woven throughout the fabric of the neighborhood.
A private clubhouse, concierge service, exclusive parks and lakes and
exquisite landscaping make this one of the most sought-after neighborhoods
in all of Southwest Florida.
It begins with the water, a string of lakes weaving through The Lake Club,
so that you can ride in a small rowboat or canoe from your home to the
$10 million luxury clubhouse and back. These lakes enhance the homesites
by offering exquisite long-range views of the waterways and vast expanses
of greenery.
“A delightful tapestry of parks is layered with a rich canvas of
Italian cypress, Mejool date palms, live oaks and other trees, as well
as floral components such as bougainvillea and knockout roses,”
notes landscape architect Brian Canin of Canin & Associates.
Blend it all together, by paying meticulous attention to sightlines, proportion
and Old World custom estate homes, and you have a resort-style community
within Lakewood Ranch that Canin says “has never been done before
in Florida, that we’re aware of.”
What gives The Lake Club even more distinctiveness is the developer’s
decision not to build a golf course, opting instead to devote many of
the neighborhood’s recreational plans to its linear park (one mile
long by 150 feet wide) for joggers, walkers and lawn sports, and to its
series of lakes.
“Surveys we conducted told us that most people who live in upscale
golf communities are not golfers, only about 25 percent are,” said
Danahy. “Even so, golfing opportunities for The Lake Club residents
abound only a few minutes away, within Lakewood Ranch. Residents can purchase
a golf membership at the 54-hole Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club
or at other nearby facilities such as the Ritz-Carlton Club, the Concession
Golf Club, or the daily pay Legacy course.”
The Lake Club, too, will offer additional recreational and athletic opportunities
at the community’s planned focal point, the Clubhouse, a 16,000-square
foot, $10 million-plus facility that will feature tennis courts, two heated
swimming pools, a day spa and a cardio-fitness center.
