Unincorporated Manatee County, in the Bradenton area. Individual home addresses and streets have not been assigned yet.
Approved. No builder yet. No name yet.
Roughly 80 acres with an approval on it and nobody attached to it yet. Add your name, email and phone and you will hear when a builder shows up, when the name changes, and when the first homesites are released.
Why this one is worth watching
Room to breathe, and no builder attached yet
Most of what gets built around Bradenton today is tight-lot production housing, homes packed close together to fit as many as possible on a site. Bradenton Estates II is planned the other way. About 80 homes are spread across roughly 80 acres, an overall density of about one home per acre, which is a fraction of what a typical new subdivision in this county runs.
That does not mean every lot is a full acre, because open space, ponds and preserve areas come out of the total first. But it does tell you this is meant to be a spacious, lower-density community rather than a dense one, and it will very likely be priced to match. In a fast-growing county where elbow room is getting scarce, that is the whole appeal.
What is missing is the builder. The land was entitled by a land holding company, the classic pattern of a project that gets its approvals first and then sells to a homebuilder who brings the plans, the model and the pricing. When that builder is named, this goes from a quiet approval to an active launch.
Being clear about what this is and is not: the plan is approved and on the public record, but nothing is for sale here yet. No builder has been named, there is no model home and no price sheet. The interest list exists precisely so that the day any of that changes, you find out first.
About the plan
What is coming
The approval covers roughly 80 acres and about 80 single-family detached homes. Detached means houses on their own lots rather than an attached townhome product. The overall density is about one home per acre, which for this county is unusually low and is the defining characteristic of the plan.
Do not read one home per acre as one-acre lots. That figure counts the whole site, and open space, stormwater ponds, preserve areas and roads all come out of the total before anyone draws a lot line. No lot size has been published, so we will not invent one. What the number does tell you reliably is that this is not a tight-lot production subdivision, and that it will very probably not be priced like one.
What has not been released: the builder, home designs and sizes, lot dimensions, a model date and pricing. Those come from the builder at launch, and the day they land for Bradenton Estates II they go out to this list.
One thing to be careful about
There is no builder here, and that changes what this listing is
The applicant of record is Yoder Land Holdings LLC, a land holding company. No homebuilder appears anywhere in the file. Nothing is listed for sale under this name, there is no sales page, no model and no price sheet.
An entitled parcel this size with no builder attached is, in practice, a product for sale to builders rather than to buyers. The most likely next event is not a groundbreaking, it is a land transaction. Whoever buys it chooses the product, the price and the name.
That is a longer runway than a community with a builder already committed, and it is worth being honest that it may be a year or more before anything is purchasable, or that the land may trade and be re-planned. The upside is that people who are on a list this early hear about the first release before there is any competition for it.
The area
Living near Bradenton and the Gulf coast
Bradenton sits on Florida's Gulf coast in Manatee County, and its headline draw is the water. The beaches of Anna Maria Island, a seven-mile barrier island known for white sand, low-rise old-Florida charm and calm Gulf water, are a short drive west, along with Longboat Key just to the south. The Manatee River runs through downtown Bradenton, where the Riverwalk, a landscaped waterfront park with trails, a playground and event space, has anchored a real downtown revival.
Just inland is Lakewood Ranch, one of the best-selling master-planned communities in the entire country, which has brought a wave of new shopping, dining, medical care and jobs to the area around it. That growth is a big part of the story here: Manatee County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Florida, and the corridor between Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch has filled in with new development, employers and amenities over the past decade.
To the south, Sarasota adds arts, culture and its own celebrated beaches like Siesta Key, and to the north Tampa and St. Petersburg put a major metro, professional sports and an international airport within about an hour. Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport sits between the two cities for closer-in flights. It is a location that gives you a quiet, coastal, lower-density home base with a lot of city within easy reach.
On costs, this is unincorporated Manatee County, not inside the City of Bradenton, so a buyer here pays county taxes with no separate city tax on top, though the mailing address will still read Bradenton. Many Florida communities also carry a community development district, which repays infrastructure bonds through an annual assessment on your tax bill on top of any HOA dues. None has been published for Bradenton Estates II, but it is one of the first questions to ask when a builder and pricing arrive. On a lower-density community like this, it is also worth asking early about water and sewer service, which can affect both the cost of a lot and how the finished streets look.
What you need to know
Buying new construction, the smart way
Whoever ends up building the homes at Bradenton Estates II, the same rule applies: the person at the model's sales desk works for the builder, not for you. They are usually helpful and usually honest, and they still represent the seller's side of the transaction. You are allowed, and smart, to have your own representation, and in almost every case it costs you nothing, because the builder budgets a cooperating commission into the deal whether you bring an agent or not.
The catch is timing. Most builders require your agent to register you on your first visit. Tour or sign in alone and bring an agent later, and the builder can refuse to recognize them, and you lose your representation for that community. Get connected before you tour, have your agent register you, and let them read the contract and the addenda.
On an 80-lot community, scarcity is real in a way it is not on a thousand-home project. There will not be a second chance at the best homesites, and there will not be years of releases to wait for. Being early is worth more here than it usually is.
Subdiview is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any homebuilder, the developer, the City of Bradenton, or Manatee County. No homebuilder has been named for this community; the applicant is identified here because it is the party of record in the county's published entitlement documents, which is a statement of fact about the public record and not a representation of any relationship. Community names and marks are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only. Subdiview is operated by a real estate broker licensed in Illinois. We are not your agent, we do not represent you, and we perform no real estate brokerage services in this state. No one at Subdiview is licensed in this state. If you join an interest list, your information is referred to a real estate professional licensed in the state where the property is located, who will contact you directly. We are compensated by that professional's brokerage, not by you.

Questions and answers
Bradenton Estates II FAQ
What is Bradenton Estates II?
Bradenton Estates II is a new community of about 80 single-family detached homes planned on roughly 80 acres of unincorporated Manatee County, near Bradenton. The county approved the plan in 2026. Nothing has been built, no builder has been assigned, and nothing is for sale. This page exists so you can hear the moment it opens.
About 80 homes on 80 acres? That is unusually spacious.
It is, for this market, and it is the most interesting number on the page. An overall density of about one home per acre is a fraction of what a production subdivision in this county typically runs. It does not mean every lot is a full acre, because open space, stormwater and preserve areas come out of the total first, and no lot size has been published. But whatever this turns out to be, it is not a tight-lot production community, and we would expect it to price accordingly. In a fast-growing county where elbow room is getting scarce, that is the whole appeal.
Who is building it?
Nobody yet. No homebuilder has been named. The applicant is a land holding company, which is a different thing entirely. An entitled parcel this size with a one-per-acre density and no builder is the kind of property that gets sold on to a homebuilder, and the eventual buyer chooses the name, the product and the price. Get on the list and you will hear the day a builder is announced.
What is there to do around Bradenton?
Bradenton sits on Florida's Gulf coast, and the water is the headline. The beaches of Anna Maria Island, a barrier island known for white sand and calm Gulf water, are a short drive west, along with Longboat Key to the south. The Manatee River runs through downtown, where the Riverwalk waterfront park has anchored a real downtown revival. Just inland is Lakewood Ranch, one of the best-selling master-planned communities in the country, which has brought a wave of shopping, dining, medical care and jobs to the area. Sarasota to the south and Tampa and St. Petersburg to the north add arts, culture, professional sports and major airports within about an hour.
Will it still be called Bradenton Estates II when it opens?
Very likely not. A place name followed by a Roman numeral is a working label, not a marketing name. When a builder takes this on, it will almost certainly be renamed, and at that point everything written about it today becomes hard to find at exactly the moment it becomes useful. We track this property by its location and its approval as well as by its name, so a rename does not lose the people on this list.
Where is it, and what about taxes or a CDD?
It is in unincorporated Manatee County in the Bradenton area. As county land rather than city, a buyer here pays county taxes with no separate city tax on top, though the mailing address will still read Bradenton. Many Florida communities also carry a community development district, which repays infrastructure bonds through an annual assessment on your tax bill on top of any HOA dues. None has been published for Bradenton Estates II, but it is one of the first questions to ask when a builder and pricing arrive. On a lower-density community like this, it is also worth asking early about water and sewer service.
When will homes be available?
No date has been announced. The plan is approved, but a homebuilder still has to take the project on, and then comes platting, infrastructure and a model home before anything is for sale. That can take a year or more. Treat any date you encounter as a target rather than a commitment. Getting on the list now is how you hear about a first release before it is advertised, when the most homesites are still available.
What does joining the interest list actually do?
It puts you on the list we notify when something on this page changes: a builder named, a name change, a plat recorded, a model announced, or first pricing. It costs nothing, it creates no brokerage relationship, and it obligates you to nothing. When you are ready, a real estate professional licensed in Florida can register you as represented before your first visit to a sales office, which is the one step that is very hard to undo later.
