Overview

Nautique at Waterside: Townhomes Walking Distance to Waterside Place

Nautique is one of the  Lakewood Ranch communities where residents can walk to Waterside Place restaurants, shops, farmers markets, and events. This M/I Homes townhome development sits directly on Kingfisher Lake, with more than half the homesites offering waterfront views and access to the community pier.

The amenity center features a heated pool, a tropical cabana, a dog park, pickleball courts, and a playground. A planned water taxi service will transport residents directly to Waterside Place across Kingfisher Lake, eliminating the need to walk or drive. The strategic location provides walking access to Waterside Place shops and dining while maintaining quiet lakeside living.

Nautique sits in Sarasota County, the first Lakewood Ranch community entirely within Sarasota rather than Manatee County. This location means downtown Sarasota is 15 minutes away, and Siesta Key Beach is 17 miles south. Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport sits 10 miles away, approximately 20 minutes by car.

Students attend Tatum Ridge Elementary School, a top-rated Sarasota County public school, with private options nearby, including Providence Community School.
