Set in Parrish, Florida, just south of Old Tampa Road, River Wilderness is 5 miles east of Interstate 75, only minutes from Bradenton, and almost centrally set amid Sarasota, Tampa, and St. Petersburg. River Wilderness first offered luxury homes for sale in the early 1990s and the community continues to expand today. Currently, it’s the site of 700 charming luxury homes spread across 1,400 flourishing Florida acres. Another 150 ultra-luxury homes are part of the newest River Wilderness waterfront neighborhood, Rivè Isle, which opened in 2006.
