ROTONDA WEST - Our home is in the newer Pine Valley division of 'the circle', this is a peaceful residential deed restricted community with bird sanctuaries and preserves built to a unique design copying the points of the compass with canals and natural habitats runnung throughout. At its heart is a 30 acre Community Park with free tennis courts, playground and bike trails through the nature reserve. Within 'the circle' there is also the large and beautiful Broadmoor park with lakes, walking trails, a picnic area and rest rooms. There is abundant wildlife on Rotonda including bobcats, tortoises, armadillos, alligators, eagles and so much more.
Golf enthusiasts are spoilt for choice with 5 golf courses on Rotonda alone, the nearest is just 5 minutes away and the house backs onto the fairway of the newest course.
As this is a residential Deed Restricted community it does have rules, for example relating to noise disturbance especially after 10pm, parking being restricted to the property driveway, dogs being leashed when out and not disturbing wildlife. more information can be found on the Rotonda West HOA website or in their offices at 646 Rotonda Circle.

This special area is only a few minutes drive from barrier islands and miles of quiet gulf coast beaches.
Fishing is wonderfully varied, from the local canals, lakes and creeks to fishing from the many public beach and river piers. You can also hire a boat or book a backwater or sport fishing trip, this area is known for its world class Tarpon fishing.

Dining and shopping possibilities are plentiful including local supermarkets and restaurants only five minutes drive away. There are malls and major restaurant chains at Port Charlotte 15-20 minutes away and a choice of big outlet malls and up market shopping around an hour and a half away.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Barker or Ann Loads

Host profile image
Mike is a retired medical doctor and his wife Ann is a retired company director. We were both born in England, Mike is originally from London and has slowly moved further into the countryside after completing medical school in the city of London. Ann has lived in the countryside all her life, starting her career in agricultural research before moving into international commercial horticulture. We now live in rural Suffolk, have a 500 year old house and a large garden to look after, we share our home with our cats and dogs!

Why they chose this property

We have been visiting Rotonda for over 20 years and have constantly been drawn by its open space, peace, wildlife and friendliness.
After a few years of regular visits we decided a house on Rotonda would be our dream and would become our home way from home.

What makes this property unique

We wanted a home that was filled with light and was airy and spacious with lots of sliders that join the house to the deck area. The master is apart from the other bedrooms for privacy when guests are staying. We needed a separate snug, come study to work away from home or just to chill out in and listen to music or read, as well as the large central living area where everyone can be together. We love to cook so a well equipped kitchen was essentail. We spend a lot of time outdoors so a large very sunny pool and deck with a gas BBQ grill and dining area was a must. The result was Armadillo!
