Market Activity – Deer Creek
Desirability and demand for Deer Creek residency were demonstrated in the December sale of 8431 Cypress Hollow Drive. Janet Montgomery of the Palmer Ranch office of Michael Saunders & Company listed the property the morning of the caravan for agents. Sara Leight, also of Michael Saunders & Company, viewed the property and called a client to tell them about the house. By evening that day, it was under contract. The closing was just 35 days later.

A gorgeous community boasting one of the area’s most prestigious golf courses, Prestancia is the home of the storied TPC @ Prestancia. TPC @ Prestancia was the host of the Chrysler Cup (Senior Ryder Cup) and then the American Express Invitational, a senior tour event until 2000. As the former head golf professional until 2004, Steve Abbe of the Palmer Ranch office finds that the courses—two 18-hole courses—at Prestancia are outstanding. “With 80+/- single digit handicappers playing out of the TPC at Prestancia, you would be hard-pressed to find a club in Sarasota with a stronger core group of players,” stated Abbe. Although the country club itself was purchased by Heritage Golf Group almost two years ago, it continues to operate as a TPC licensee assuring the high quality one expects of a TPC facility.
