Founders Club is a gated enclave of large custom estates set among mature landscaping and open space east of downtown Sarasota. Homes here run big — the median is over 5,000 square feet — with private pools the norm and a level of privacy you won't find closer to the coast. It's a quieter, land-forward alternative to the barrier-island scene at Lido Key, trading beach frontage for space, seclusion, and architectural range.
For a buyer today, this is firmly a luxury market: all six active listings sit above $1M, with a median list price of $2,947,000 and asking prices topping out near $3,249,000. Well-priced homes move fast — median days on market is just 16.5 — and over the last year sellers collected about 95% of asking, so there's room to negotiate but not to lowball. If Founders Club feels like more house than you need, the walkable Arlington Park and coastal Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores offer very different price points among Sarasota homes for sale.
Founders Club is a community in Sarasota, Florida.
