Known as a Mecca for retirees, Palmer Ranch is increasingly becoming home to young families and active professionals. A big factor drawing the younger generation is the excellent school system, including Ashton Elementary, Sarasota Middle, and Riverview High School.
Palmer Ranch today consists of 10,000 acres of the roughly 80,000 acres originally purchased in the early 1900s by Bertha Honore Palmer, widow of Chicago department store tycoon Potter Palmer. A world-renowned socialite, art patron and business woman, she was a progressive agriculturalist as well.
After her death in 1918, she left her vast estate in the hands of her two sons, Honore and Potter Palmer, Jr. The estate was later purchased by the late businessman and Tampa Bay Buccaneer Hugh Culverhouse
Although conceived on a grand scale, Palmer Ranch is a model of people-friendly residential development. Each of it’s distinct communities offer a slightly different twist on the joy of living in Sarasota.
