London Bay Homes Welcomes John Cannon Homes to the Team of Builders at The Founders Club

With three decades of experience designing and building award-winning luxury custom homes, John Cannon Homes will soon commence construction on a new model with views of the community’s Robert Trent Jones, Jr.- designed championship golf course. 

The Builder Program at The Founders Club ensures that while no two homes are alike, each reflects the community’s character. Offering a portfolio of customizable floor plans to fulfill a variety of scenarios, each premier builder offers various architectural styles that seamlessly blend with the aesthetic and natural beauty of the community.

“Creating a home that reflects the uniqueness of its owner is a hallmark of The Founders Club,” said Steve Walker, senior project manager for London Bay Homes, which manages all sales and marketing for the community. “We guide homebuyers in selecting their dream combination of the right builder and right home design that suits them best.”

In addition to John Cannon Homes, London Bay Homes and Sarasota-based Anchor Builders and Arthur Rutenberg-Nelson Homes, the Builder Program at The Founders Club includes Lee Wetherington Homes, who is completing a private 4,821-square-foot West Indies-style custom estate home with four full suites. The builder also has plans to commence construction on a new model home this year. Nearby, Nutter Custom Construction is putting the finishing touches on a coastal contemporary estate home uniquely customized to its buyer’s specifications, with a piano room and 1,000-square-foot, three-car garage with a true motor court entry and a gracious circular driveway to welcome guests. 

Award-winning builder London Bay Homes offers two stunning models in The Founders Club. Situated on almost half an acre, with views of the golf course and tranquil nature preserve, the Cameron offers 3,092 square feet of living space and a clean lined, open design that blends the great room, dining room and a gourmet-inspired kitchen with a large freestanding quartz-topped island. The three-bedroom, estate features a luxurious master suite with a pair of walk-in closets providing private access to the pool terrace. Located at 8841 Colonels Court, the Cameron is offered at $1,499,400.

Scheduled for completion this fall, London Bay Homes’ new model, the Davidson, will join the Cameron at The Founders Club. The Davidson offers 2,860 square feet of air-conditioned living area, with an additional 888 square feet of covered entry and outdoor living. The model also includes a 965-square-foot three-car garage.

The three-bedroom Davidson will offer a private bathroom for each bedroom to afford privacy for guests. The master suite will feature two walk-in closets, dual sinks, a free-standing bathtub and a spacious, private shower. There will be plenty of space to entertain with an open-concept design so guests can move freely between the kitchen, dining room and great room. Both the attached kitchen pantry and laundry room include extra shelving for storage. Double doors swing open from the foyer to reveal a large study that can be customized as a library or home office ideal for working remotely.

            Homeowners can bask in the Southwest Florida sun by opening a four-panel sliding glass door that connects the great room and the covered lanai and maximize their outdoor living experience with an option for an outdoor kitchen and pool. The Davidson is offered at $1,325,790.

London Bay Homes’ 3,322-square-foot semi-furnished Isabella Grande model recently sold. The popular home design features three bedrooms and three baths, along with a study, formal dining room and great room designed for everyday living and entertaining. The floor plan can be recreated on select homesites available throughout the community.

At The Founders Club, an array of expansive homesites overlooking picturesque preserves, lakes and golf course fairways expands homebuyer choices. Home and homesite packages start in the $700,000s, and there are no CDD fees.

The Founders Club is planned for a mere 262 homes ranging from 2,200 to more than 6,000 square feet and located within the community’s 700 acres. Curving streets and tree-lined vistas add to the setting, with miles of meandering walkways throughout the community connecting residents with the natural environment. The heart of the community’s active outdoor lifestyle is the 24,000-square-foot Golf Hall. The member-owned club offers casual and fine dining, a golf pro shop, men’s and women’s locker rooms, and a state-of-the-art fitness center, along with Har-Tru® tennis courts, basketball and sand volleyball courts and a picnic pavilion.

The Founders Club’s intimate size and low density is complemented by convenient access to Sarasota’s local restaurants, world-class arts and culture venues, the University Town Center mall, and the area’s Gulf of Mexico beaches. Just outside the gates, residents have quick access through Lorraine Road to a host of activities, restaurants and events in Lakewood Ranch.

Visitors can stop by The Founders Club Sales Center Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. located at 3001 Founders Club Drive, three miles east of I-75 on Fruitville Road, Exit 210.
