Coasterra: New Homes in Palmetto, FL

If having more nature close to home is part of your Florida wish list, Coasterra is worth a look.

This new master-planned community in Palmetto brings together new single-family homes, lakes, trails and resort-style amenities in northwest Manatee County. It also puts you in a convenient spot between Tampa and Sarasota, with access to St. Petersburg and Gulf Coast beaches.

But what sets Coasterra apart is how much of the community is designed around getting outside.

Nature is part of the plan

At Coasterra, lakes, trails and preserved natural areas aren't tucked away at the edge of the community. They're a big part of everyday life.

A 160-acre nature preserve includes walking trails, smaller lakes and native Florida landscape. Throughout the larger community, miles of connected paths and wooded trails give residents more ways to walk, jog or bike close to home. There are also two large lakes, including a 65-acre lake beside Club Coasterra and another spanning 20 acres.

It’s easy to get outside, whether you're heading out for a morning walk, taking the dog for some exercise or spending an afternoon by the water.

More ways to enjoy the outdoors

The outdoor setting is only part of the story.

Coasterra is planned with several amenity areas, giving residents places to swim, exercise, play and spend time together.

Club Coasterra sits alongside the water and includes:

Resort-style pool
Lakeside pavilion
Social hall
Fitness centre
Sports courts
Event lawn

Rendering of Club Coasterra with a resort-style pool, clubhouse and outdoor gathering spaces.

Throughout the community, you'll also find a dog park, recreational sports field, lakeside jogging path and miles of trails. Additional amenity areas are planned for the north and south ends of Coasterra.

For Cardel homeowners, amenities also include a dock, canoe launch, fire pit and pickleball courts.

It's a mix that works whether you want an active Saturday morning or a quiet evening outside.

New Cardel homes in Palmetto

Cardel offers six single-family floorplans at Coasterra, with both single-story and two-story homes available.

Homes range from 1,805 to 2,862 sq ft, with 3 to 5 bedrooms, 2 to 4 bathrooms and 2-car garages. Starting from the $400s, the collection includes a range of layouts for different households and stages of life.

You also have choices beyond the floorplan itself.

Start by selecting your homesite, floorplan and structural options. Then visit our Design Center to choose your finishes. You aren't limited to one design package for your whole home. You might spend more on the kitchen, with upgraded flooring, tile or countertops, then stick with standard finishes in the kids' bathroom. It gives you more control over your budget and lets you put your money into the spaces and finishes that matter most to you.

If you'd rather move sooner, you can also check our current quick move-in homes at Coasterra.

Take a look inside the Northwood

Sometimes it's easier to picture a new home once you've walked through one.

Cardel's fully furnished Northwood model is open to tour at 7732 Ocean Spray Trail in Palmetto. At 2,208 sq ft, the model has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, along with an open kitchen, dining area and great room.

The home also shows some of the options available when building a Northwood, including an extended covered lanai, dedicated office or den and an upgraded kitchen.

Touring the model gives you a chance to see Cardel's finishes and spaces in person, then talk with our team about the floorplans and homesites available at Coasterra.
