How The Lake Club compares
From the county records
$2,400,000
Median of 186 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $1,575,000 and $3,690,000.
72%
Of the 766 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption, which reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence.
Newest completion recorded 2025. 16% of the parcels here were completed in the last three years, the most recent in 2025. That is below the share this site treats as actively delivering, so most of what trades here is resale, but it is not finished.
Arm’s-length sales recorded with Sarasota County, read October 2026. Quitclaims, foreclosures, family transfers and pre-construction sales are excluded. Homestead requires the property to be a permanent residence, so the share carrying one is reported here as a share of matched residential units rather than as a count of who lives here. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
At an estimated $12,802 a year in combined HOA and CDD, The Lake Club sits about 116% above the Lakewood Ranch median of $5,923, ranking 36 of the 39 Lakewood Ranch communities whose fees this site tracks.

HOA & community documents for The Lake Club
4 documents from the community development or stewardship district that covers The Lake Club and linked to the page each one lives on. Nothing is copied here, so you read whatever they publish today. No association documents have been located for The Lake Club yet, which is a gap in what has been found rather than evidence there are none.
District documents
A community development or stewardship district is a unit of local government, not an association. Its assessment is billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and its rules are public records of a different kind. Shown separately for that reason.
Lakewood Ranch Stewardship District
Why it applies to The Lake Club: The district names each community it covers in its own FY2027 adopted assessment schedule or, where a community carries no bond debt, in its adopted FY2027 operations and maintenance budget. It levies two separate yearly assessments, a bond debt service assessment and an operations and maintenance assessment.

The governing body is known and nothing it publishes is public. That is a gap in what has been published, not evidence that the community has no restrictions. This list records what has been found in public, not everything that governs the property.

The Lake Club FAQ
Who builds homes in The Lake Club?+
The Lake Club is built by Multiple / Custom. Those homes now trade as resales rather than through the builder, so the original warranty has usually expired and the condition of the specific house matters more than who built it. Roof age is the first thing to establish, because Florida insurers weight it heavily.
How much do homes in The Lake Club cost?+
The published price guidance for The Lake Club is an estimate in the $1.7M, $7M+ range, not a live listing feed or a valuation. Pricing varies by the specific home, condition and lot. Ask me for current listings and recent comparable sales before setting an investment range or an asking price.
What kind of homes are in The Lake Club?+
The Lake Club offers single family, with floor plans of 4 to 6 bedrooms. As single-family housing, the roof, the exterior and the insurance on the structure are yours rather than an association's, which is the main practical difference from a villa or condominium. What a specific home includes, and what the association maintains, is set out in that community's documents and is worth reading before an offer rather than after.
What amenities does The Lake Club have?+
The Lake Club offers Premier custom luxury builders, Grand clubhouse & resort amenities, Resort pool, spa & fitness, Tennis & pickleball, Gated with 24-hour security, among others. Worth separating two things that often get blurred together: amenities the HOA maintains and which every owner pays for, and club or golf facilities that may require a separate membership on top. Which category each amenity falls into determines your actual annual cost, and it is set out in the community documents rather than in any listing.
What have homes in The Lake Club actually sold for?+
186 arm's-length sales have been recorded in The Lake Club since October 2023, at a median of $2,400,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $1,575,000 and $3,690,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. These are prices recorded with Sarasota County, not asking prices, so they describe what buyers and sellers actually agreed. Figures read October 2026; quitclaims, foreclosures and family transfers are excluded.
Do people live in The Lake Club year round?+
72% of the 766 matched residential units in The Lake Club claim a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence, read from the Sarasota County roll in October 2026. That reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
Is The Lake Club still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in The Lake Club was completed in 2025, across 880 platted parcels of which 766 carry a finished home. 16% of its parcels were completed in the last three years, the most recent in 2025. That is below the share this site treats as actively delivering, so most of what trades in The Lake Club is resale, but it is not finished. Build year matters more in Florida than buyers expect, because insurers weight roof age heavily and it drives what a property costs to carry rather than just what it costs to buy.
Does The Lake Club have a CDD fee?+
Yes. The Lake Club carries an estimated CDD assessment of $658 - $2,948, on top of an HOA fee estimated at $7,012 - $14,985 yearly. A community development district assessment can have two components, and they behave differently: debt service repays the bonds that funded the roads, drainage and amenities, and ends when those bonds are retired, while an operations and maintenance charge pays to run what the bonds built and does not. Both are billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and both are separate from the HOA. Assessments are set annually and vary by home and phase, so confirm the current components for the specific address.
What flood zone is The Lake Club in?+
The flood zone recorded for The Lake Club is X. Zones beginning A or V are the higher-risk categories, where a federally backed mortgage generally requires flood insurance, while zone X is lower risk and coverage is usually optional. Flood zone is assigned per property rather than per community though, and elevation can change both the requirement and the premium substantially, so get the zone and the elevation certificate for the exact address rather than relying on a community-level figure.
