ShellStone

Shellstone is one of the newer neighborhoods within Waterside at Lakewood Ranch, developed by Homes by Towne and built by Lee Wetherington Homes and Homes By Towne. The community includes villas and single-family homes, with sizes ranging from roughly 2,000 to 3,700 square feet and pricing starting in the high $600,000s. The Lee Wetherington Sandollar model is a stunning example of the luxury custom homes built in Shellstone.

Amenities:

• Two amenity centers — the Summit at Shellstone (clubhouse, fitness center, resort-style pool and spa, fire pit, poolside cabanas) and Midway Park, 13 acres with walking trails, pickleball courts, an event lawn, and a dog park.
• Lake access — several homesites back to Shellstone's lakes, with kayak access for residents.
• Not gated — Shellstone is an open community, connected to the rest of Waterside by shared roads and trails.

Location:

Shellstone sits close to Waterside Place, the district's town center, with dining, shopping, and community events within a short walk or drive. It is about 20 minutes from downtown Sarasota and 25-30 minutes from Siesta Key Beach.
