Bent Tree sits inland in eastern Sarasota County, a mature, tree-lined community where lots run large and the pace is quiet. It's the kind of neighborhood that draws buyers who want space, greenery, and a break from the coastal crowds while still keeping Sarasota's beaches and downtown within reach. From here you can be at the Rosemary District or the water at Lido Key in a single, easy drive.
Inventory here is tight — there are just 3 active listings right now, with a median list price of $849,990. That thin supply is the story for buyers: when a home comes up, you'll want to move quickly and lean on local knowledge, since limited turnover keeps well-priced homes moving. If Bent Tree doesn't have what you need this week, the broader market of Sarasota homes for sale and nearby areas like Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores is worth watching alongside it.
Bent Tree is a community in Sarasota, Florida.
