Adjoining Lemon Bay Preserve contains some of the last remaining undeveloped bay shoreline in Sarasota County and features trails and boardwalks through the natural habitat. Bald eagles soar overhead and dolphins swim by the dock of this very special oasis. Private, natural, refined. Welcome to the magic of life at the heart of this enchanted setting.
