11912 RICHMOND Trail North River Ranch | Riverfield | Parrish, FL 34219 | 4 Bed / 3 Bath | 2, 500 Sq Ft | Pond View, Eastern Exposure | Built by Cardel Homes Homesites like this one are what buyers wait for in North River Ranch. This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom Cardel home sits on a rare pond lot in gated Riverfield, with eastern exposure that drops the morning light over the water and no rear neighbors looking back at you. In a community building out to roughly 6, 000 homes, a private water view with open sky behind it is the kind of lot that doesn't cycle back onto the market often. Inside, the 2, 500 square feet is laid out to actually live in. The kitchen and great room open into each other for everyday flow and easy hosting, and a flex/bonus room off the kitchen takes on whatever you throw at it, media room, playroom, or a second living space. A private den toward the rear, looking out over the pond, gives you a real work-from-home or quiet room rather than a converted closet. Four bedrooms and three full baths leave room for family, guests, or an out-of-state move that needs space to land. Riverfield is a gated neighborhood inside North River Ranch, minutes from the community pools, fitness facilities, scenic trails, and the Brightwood Pavilion. Step out your door and the amenities read like a resort, multiple clubhouses, resort-style pools with water slides, fitness centers, game rooms, dog parks, and more than twenty miles of trails and paved paths at build-out. A full-time lifestyle director runs a year-round calendar of fitness classes, live music, food trucks, and community events, so there's genuinely something happening most weeks. North River Ranch has earned Gold for Best Master-Planned Community in the Bradenton's Best Awards four years running, 2022 through 2025, along with Best Overall Community honors in the Parade of Homes Manatee-Sarasota. That's local voters and industry judges landing on the same conclusion, repeatedly. The community is served by Manatee County schools, and the brand-new Barbara A. Harvey K-8 opened right inside North River Ranch for the 2025/2026 school year, a STEM-focused campus with engineering labs, robotics, and 3D printing on site, with Buffalo Creek Middle and Parrish Community High also in the picture. The infrastructure is catching up to the lifestyle here. HCA Florida North River Ranch Emergency, a freestanding round-the-clock ER, is already open inside the community, with a 150-bed-plus hospital campus in development behind it. Market Walk, the Publix-anchored plaza, is open and serving residents today, the larger Village Center of grocers, restaurants, and retail is underway, and a State College of Florida nursing campus is slated for Parrish in 2027. You're buying into a place that's still adding to itself. Location closes it. North River Ranch sits in Parrish, 34219, in North Manatee County, with quick access to I-75 and U.S. 301 and an easy reach to Bradenton, Sarasota, Tampa, and St. Petersburg. Gulf beaches are a short drive west.
