Country Club East is a very exclusive village of Lakewood Ranch. This gated community is located near the Ritz-Carlton Members Golf Club and the Country Club of Lakewood Ranch, and it is home to some of the most spectacular golf estates in Southwest Florida.

In developing Country Club East, renowned home builders such as John Cannon, Gibraltar, London Bay, and Minto chose their most luxuriant floor plans.

As of mid-2015, a three-bedroom home with two full bathrooms at Country Club East could be found listed under $500K. In the most elegant subdivisions, a five-bedroom estate with five full bathrooms and a three-car garage could be negotiated for $1.35 million. Some of the architectural designs that can be appreciated in this community are Mediterranean, Tuscan, and Caribbean. The floor plans range from 1,500 to more than 4,000 square feet of living space.

Golf and tennis are the main amenities at Country Club East. Residents can choose from four levels of membership to enjoy; the Platinum level grants access to all the golf, tennis, fitness, and social amenities.

Country Club East is located about 10 minutes away from Main Street at Lakewood Ranch and less than 20 minutes from the University Town Center shopping mall. The closest beach is at Siesta Key, but residents only need to drive a few more miles to enjoy more secluded coastline spots such as Longboat Key, Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria Island.

House hunters should remember that Country Club East is a very desirable neighborhood. Of all Lakewood Ranch villages, Country Club East stands out as one of the neighborhoods where home values have risen the most.
