Desoto Acres Real Estate in Sarasota, FL

Desoto Acres homes for sale are located in one of the only communities west of I-75 between University parkway and Clark Road, offering home sites with a minimum lot size of two acres. Homes vary greatly in age, ranging from the 1940’s to newly constructed homes that replaced previous older style ranch homes.
