Gamble Creek Ranch

Ideally positioned in Parrish, Manatee County's fastest-growing residential corridor and part of the Sarasota-Bradenton-Venice metro, this site fronts SR 62 with direct access to I-75, placing a future community minutes from the retail, dining, and employment centers of Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, and Sarasota, and within easy reach of Tampa Bay. Parrish has become one of the region's premier addresses for new rooftops, with the established Salt Meadows single-family community already anchoring the immediate area and a wave of master-planned development transforming the SR 62/US 301 corridor around it. The property itself carries genuine character: mature tree canopy, open pasture, and frontage along the Gamble Creek corridor give a future neighborhood real identity without sacrificing proximity to everything Manatee County has to offer. For a builder or developer looking to plant a flag in one of Florida's most active growth submarkets, this is a rare opportunity at frontage on a regional corridor ahead of the next wave.Gamble Creek Ranch offers what's increasingly hard to find in this market: clean raw infill land, with a substantial amount of existing and up-to-date due diligence material, and a motivated seller in search of an opportunistic buyer. The offering is approximately 40 developable acres, carved out of the larger historical assemblage specifically to exclude the Gamble Creek wetland corridor — the acreage you're buying is the acreage you can build on. The technical groundwork is already done, and it's clean. A geotechnical report confirms the site supports conventional shallow foundations with no rock or karst concerns. An acoustical study confirms the property meets Manatee County's residential noise criteria at every measured location, with no sound walls, berms, or mitigation required. Cultural resources fieldwork is substantially complete. Manatee County Utilities (water and sewer) and Peace River Electric both reach the property line. A previously engineered preliminary site plan for a single-family subdivision of scale is available as a planning reference, illustrating conceptual support for well over 100 homesites (final yield subject to a fresh survey and design on the current ~40-acre footprint). Current zoning is agricultural (A/A-1) with a UF-3 future land use designation that supports residential rezone. If you're a private builder or lot developer who moves fast on raw land and wants to control your own entitlement timeline, this is a clean file with real upside from day one.
