Sarasota, SARASOTA
This rare 5.15 acres in the equestrian estates of Myakka Valley Ranches is one of just a handful that borders the breathtaking Myakka River State Park (the largest and oldest Florida state park), nearly 29,000 acres of protected Florida wilderness right in your backyard. Imagine morning coffee as the sun rises over the lake, your horses grazing in the pasture, and not a neighbor in sight behind you. As you pull through the private gate, a tree-lined concrete drive leads you to not one, but two block homes, each light, bright, and thoughtfully cared for. The MAIN HOME offers three spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets, two full baths, and an open layout centered around a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The ROOF is just 5 years old (2020), and the ELECTRICAL PANEL was updated in 2022. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, solid surface counters, a tile backsplash, and a pantry, perfectly designed for everyday living. Step out to the screened porch and hot tub overlooking the koi pond, outdoor shower, and gardens, or unwind on the large wood deck with built-in seating, ideal for morning coffee or a quiet evening under the stars. Just beyond, you’ll find the charming 12x12 “Doll House” with a metal roof and A/C, perfect for a studio, office, or playhouse. The SECOND HOME, built in 2007, offers two bedrooms, one bath, and 744 square feet of open, comfortable living space. It features a metal roof, granite counters, wood cabinetry, its own well and septic system, plus a screened porch and laundry room, ideal for multi-generational living, rental income, or hosting guests who won’t want to leave. The land sits high and dry, not in a flood zone, and the homes have had no previous storm damage for peace of mind. And for the horse lover, the 1,278 square foot barn (36 x 35.5) is a dream. With thick poured concrete, three oversized stalls, a tack and feed room, wash station, 10-foot center aisle, and a run-in stall connecting directly to three lush, cross-fenced lush pastures totaling about three acres. There’s also a round pen, a fenced area for chickens or a garden, and a 30-amp RV hookup ready for your rig or visiting friends. Living here means riding or hiking on nearly 30 miles of scenic trails, exploring the park next door, and coming home to a property that feels like a private retreat. You’re just 7 miles east of I-75 and 14 miles from the #1 world-famous Siesta Key Beach with its white quartz sand, offering the perfect balance of country serenity and coastal convenience. Out here, there’s no traffic, no stress, just space to breathe, a sky full of stars, and a quiet you can feel.
