Environmentalists often raise the concern that real estate development imposes an onerous burden on Mother Nature. But save such alarm bell for other newly built (or even existing and older) communities which is most definitely not for Country Club East. Yes, this is one of the newest of the eight gated communities of Lakewood Ranch in East Manatee County, Florida. It was, however, developed along the master plan of a green community that characterizes the entire Lakewood Ranch development that began since the mid-1990s.
In fact, it can be told that the Lakewood Ranch expansion in Country Club East even enhanced this part of Florida's natural surroundings. Center to this community is an 18-hole golf course that was designed by an internationally renowned architect, Rick Robbins. This layout is part of a trilogy of golf courses within Lakewood Ranch that has been certified as a nature sanctuary by the prestigious environment conservation group Audubon International. The other golf courses, the Arnold Palmer-designed King Dunes and Cypress Links, are located in the adjacent Country Club village, a sister neighborhood to Country Club East.

Beyond the greens and fairways of these world-class layouts are various other nature preserves that have built Lakewood Ranch's reputation as a green, environment-friendly enclave to live in. Interwoven into this real estate development are sidewalks and trails meandering for more than one hundred fifty miles within the 8,500 acre property. All told, there are also 3,500 acres of wetlands, lakes, and natural habitat for local wildlife within the estate. Additionally, there are several community parks conducive to outdoor-oriented activities such as family picnics and sports undertakings.

Besides the golf courses, activities at Country Club East can also center on the polo club of Lakewood Ranch and a clubhouse filled with various amenities. There are business parks too wherein a myriad of dining, shopping, and entertainment establishments are always ready to please and serve guests and residents. Growing families with kids have the convenience of having an excellent elementary school just outside of this community's gate.
But certainly, its environment-friendly character is what makes Country Club East and the entire Lakewood Ranch a standout among property developments. All homes and other structures within this enclave were built using materials and methods friendly to the environment and in conformance with the green standards of the Florida Green Building Coalition. The end-products are house models called Sweetgrass, Freshwater, and Blue Sky, all proclaiming that a truly green community has risen indeed in Country Club East.
