Solid-built home on 5 GORGEOUS acres with a big pond, and a great barn. This is an awesome property for nature lovers and horse lovers, with complete privacy, and yet sufficient grass to keep your horses or cows happy! Ride your horse, or mountain bike, on the miles of trails that run through Myakka Valley Ranches, Sarasota's oldest and biggest equestrian community, or sit on the big, screened lanai, and watch the fawns play between the trees in your private "park" behind the house. The home features a split plan with a big great room, and eat-in kitchen, with new S/S appliances. Owners installed new water softener, and a propane tank which fuels the stove and the fire place. The community has a horse club, book club, and women's forum. It is located next to Myakka River State Park, Florida's biggest park. The white beaches of Siesta Key are only 30 minutes away, as is Downtown Sarasota with its cultural attractions (museums, opera, symphony, theater, great restaurants, etc.). Live the country lifestyle, enjoy awesome star gazing, and yet be close to all the conveniences of the modern world! Agent is long-time resident of the subdivision and can tell you all about our unique lifestyle.
