Founders Club is a gated community built around expansive lots, mature landscaping, and estate-scale homes that average more than 5,300 square feet. It's the kind of address where privacy and space matter more than proximity to the beach, and where every one of the current listings sits behind a guarded gate with a pool of its own. For buyers who want room to spread out while staying connected to everything Sarasota offers, this corner of Sarasota County delivers a distinctly quiet, low-density feel.
The market here is small and firmly in luxury territory. With just six active listings and a median list price near $2.95 million, inventory moves deliberately — the median home spends about 130 days on market before selling. Compared to closer-in neighborhoods like Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores or the walkable Rosemary District, Founders Club trades urban energy for acreage, and buyers should expect to negotiate on a longer timeline.
Founders Club is a community in Sarasota, Florida.
