Sarabay Acres sits in the quiet stretch of Osprey where Sarasota County's coastline slows down and the pace gets easier. It's a small pocket surrounded by well-known neighbors like the Oaks and Southbay Yacht & Racquet Club, with waterfront options and gated enclaves that keep things private. Families here are assigned to Laurel Nokomis School and Venice Senior High School, and the location threads the needle between Sarasota's culture and Venice's beaches.
For buyers, the market is approachable but layered. There are 14 active listings with a median list price of $372,500, though the range stretches from $260,000 all the way to $2,995,000 depending on whether you want a modest single-story or waterfront acreage. Homes are taking a median of about 60 days to sell, and 23 closings over the past year tell you this is a real, functioning market — browse the current Osprey homes for sale or check the live map to see what's moving.
