The history of Rivetta dates back to 2015, when nine residential lots were platted in a quiet section of the Ridge Wood Heights district of Sarasota for the purpose of developing a new waterfront community. These days, only a couple of lots are available for construction; the rest have been developed with spectacular custom properties valued at more than a million dollars.
Rivetta is located just north of Proctor Road and east of Phillippi Creek. This is a relatively small residential enclave that will soon feature a secure gate for maximum privacy and security. The first model completed by Lee Wetherington in 2016 quickly won various Parade of Homes awards. The architectural styles selected by initial homeowners are mostly inspired by American Coastal and Modernist design.
Every home in Rivetta provides easement access to private docking space at Phillippi Creek, which connects to the Intracoastal Waterway through Roberts Bay. Rivetta is highly recommended to boaters; a recently sold home with four bedrooms included a small pier plus an elaborate dock equipped with a 10,000 lbs. boat lift complete with remote control.
The two Rivetta lots ready for construction are currently listed for $399K each; they range between 6,640 and 6,760 square feet. You can choose from many of the custom home designs offered by Lee Wetherington, a builder that has developed prestigious gated communities such as The Founders Club and Country Club East at Lakewood Ranch. The spectacular models feature Coastal, Mediterranean, Tuscan, Key West, and Contemporary styles. Lee Wetherington homes are known for their exceptional upgrades, which may include quartz countertops, European-style cabinetry, designer kitchens, skylights, and many others.
Rivetta feels intimate and nicely secluded, but its location provides a world of convenience just beyond the gate. The nearest commercial district is just a three-minute drive away on Proctor road: The Landings shopping plaza is anchored by a new Publix supermarket, and there are many other stores plus restaurants to explore. The beaches of Siesta Key are just 15 minutes away, and family-friendly spots such as the Red Bug Slough Preserve and Twin Lakes Park are even closer.
