Polo Club lands buyer for 158-acre property

LAKEWOOD RANCH — Saying their goal is to keep the Sarasota Polo Club as agricultural and recreational space as currently zoned, Lakewood Ranch Country Club residents — and horse and equine sports enthusiasts — James and Misdee Miller recently closed on their purchase of the 158-acre property from Lakewood Ranch developer Schroeder-Manatee Ranch.

The price of the sale wasn't available in Sarasota County property records as of June 15, and Miller declined to disclose the price, according to a story in the East County Observer, sister paper of the Business Observer. In 2017, the Sarasota County Property Appraiser appraised the Sarasota Polo Club for $1,839,442.
