Description

Life at Imperial Lakes moves at exactly the pace you set. This land-owned, pet-friendly 55+ community spreads across 65 quiet, park-like acres in Palmetto, with enough going on that boredom is genuinely not an option. Two heated pools, a spa, pickleball, tennis, shuffleboard, bocce ball, a private lake with community boat ramp access, and a clubhouse running darts, bingo, poker, and card games year-round. A full social calendar when you want it, or a quiet Tuesday morning with nothing but birdsong behind you when you don't.The home is genuinely move-in ready. Hurricane-impact windows replaced two years ago, a new water heater, new entry door, updated flooring throughout, all-new appliances, and a freshly painted exterior mean the work has been done. Inside, the open plan connects a combined living and dining space to a kitchen-family room with solid wood cabinets, solid surface counters, and vaulted ceilings. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and an en suite bath with a sunken shower. The second bedroom handles guests or a dedicated home office without compromise.What sets this particular lot apart is what sits behind it. The backyard backs directly to a protected conservation area, a position that most homes in Imperial Lakes simply cannot offer. No rear neighbors, no future development, just mature Florida landscape and open sky. The covered, enclosed lanai opens onto this greenspace, and the professionally landscaped grounds extend the sense of privacy in every direction. A 24x40 double carport and a 24x20 shed and workshop round out a property that offers considerably more room to breathe than the typical active adult home.Monthly fees of $190 cover cable, internet, Wi-Fi, pool access, and grounds maintenance. The property sits in Flood Zone X. Blake Medical Center and Manatee Memorial are both accessible in Bradenton, and Anna Maria Island's Gulf beaches, Ellenton Premium Outlets, and everyday shopping along US-301 are all within a short drive. I-75 at Exit 229 puts the rest of the region within easy reach.
