Heritage Harbour Homes for Sale, Bradenton FL

About Heritage Harbour

Heritage Harbour is a planned community on the north side of State Road 64 near I-75 in northeast Bradenton, in the 34212 ZIP. It grew in phases from the early 2000s and includes many separate neighborhoods, from single-family streets to villas, townhomes and condos, each with its own association layered under the overall community. The golf course opened in 2001 as Stoneybrook and was renamed Heritage Harbour Golf Club in 2018 under new ownership, which then put about $2 million into a 2022 renovation. A redevelopment plan approved by Manatee County in 2022 converted the area once used by holes 1 and 2 into club homes and a planned hotel, with the course rerouted around it. River Strand Golf and Country Club, a separate 27-hole club, sits next door and is often shopped alongside Heritage Harbour. For buyers, the key point is that golf here is a public-access course with optional memberships, so owning a home does not carry a club obligation. Each sub-neighborhood has its own fees and rules, so compare them section by section.

The golf at Heritage Harbour

Heritage Harbour Golf Club is an Arthur Hills design that opened in 2001 (it was originally named Stoneybrook) and plays to over 7,100 yards from the back tees. The course was renovated in 2022 with new turf and upgraded drainage and irrigation, led by architect Nick Campanelli, and the plan reduced the size and number of bunkers. It winds through wetlands, ponds and lakes, with risk-reward holes and multiple tee options. Practice facilities include an aqua driving range, a short game area and putting greens, and the clubhouse has a golf shop plus a bar and grill. The club is open to the public for daily play and also offers memberships and golf packages, and ownership has said publicly it intends to keep the doors open to outside golfers.

Living in Heritage Harbour: location and lifestyle

The location is one of the strongest commutes in the Manatee golf market. I-75 is minutes away, so the Skyway, Ellenton and the Tampa Bay side of the interstate are quick, and Tampa International is typically about 45 minutes. Ellenton Premium Outlets and the shopping along US 301 are close, and Lakewood Ranch is about 15 minutes south. The Manatee River sits just north of the community, and there are boat ramps and parks along the river nearby for fishing and paddling. Downtown Bradenton and the Riverwalk are about 15 to 20 minutes west. Because Heritage Harbour has so many sub-neighborhoods, buyers can choose between attached homes with lower exterior upkeep and single-family homes on larger lots without leaving the overall community.
