Mote Ranch is a wonderful, deed-restricted community conveniently located just north of University Parkway off Honore—with easy access to I-75, the amenities of Lakewood Ranch to the east, and just minutes to downtown Sarasota. The community was named for William Mote, the namesake of Mote Marine Laboratory. There is a plethora of restaurants, shops and services to enjoy along the University Parkway corridor, which is connected to Palm-Aire Country Club via Old Farm Road. The Braden River borders the eastern edge of the neighborhood, and the association has provided a dock for residents to fish or just enjoy the beauty of “old Florida.” Fishermen partake in weekly bass tournaments, and there is a kayak/canoe ramp next to the dock for access to the river. This is the freshwater river that flows from the north in Lakewood Ranch down to Lake Evers, which is the reservoir for the City of Bradenton. (more…)
