About this home
6976 COUNTRY LAKES CIRCLE
ANNUAL FURNISHED SINGLE FAMILY POOL HOME AVAILABLE FOR LEASE IN PALM-AIRE. This beautiful and well-maintained four-bedroom, four-bath residence provides privacy and elegance on more than half an acre. A thoughtfully arranged split floor plan creates an easy flow between two spacious living areas and a formal dining room. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, with two spa-inspired ensuite baths—one centered on a walk-in shower that opens to serene outdoor views, the other featuring a Jacuzzi tub—while two bedrooms on the opposite wing share a full bath with a tub-and-shower combination, and the fourth bedroom flexes easily as a home office. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with granite countertops, a large breakfast island, a natural stone backsplash, a stainless-steel gas range, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a dedicated laundry room offers generous cabinet storage. Outside, a private backyard oasis is anchored by a sparkling heated pool and spa with a dedicated pool bath, ideal for year-round enjoyment. Palm-Aire golf membership is optional for those who want access to world-class golf and country-club amenities, and the location places UTC, I-75, Lakewood Ranch, downtown Sarasota, medical facilities, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, and the region’s celebrated beaches within easy reach.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
