Surrounded by nature's grandeur, an easy and elegant lifestyle awaits you at Gran Paradiso at the West Villages. A lavish Tuscan-inspired, access controlled community in Southwest Florida, Gran Paradiso is set over an expansive one thousand plus acres. Lakes and nature preserves provide a perfect backdrop to escape the hum drum of everyday life with a nature walk along the fitness trails or just gazing from the peaceful comfort of your own home. It is conveniently located, just three miles from Jacaranda Boulevard in Venice and about 10 minutes from Interstate 75. Among nature's treasures, it abuts a protected gopher tortoise conservation area and is called home by families of sandhill cranes, deer, and other local wildlife. All this is further enhanced by its proximity to the renowned beaches of Sarasota County, nearby championship golf courses, world-class shopping, fine restaurants and cultural events galore.
