THIS PROPERTY SOLD ON DECEMBER 15 FOR $415,000, BUT THERE ARE MORE LISTINGS IN MYAKKA VALLEY RANCHES! Attention car mechanics, collectors, or horse lovers: This is a great opportunity to buy a home with a huge free-standing workshop on ca. 7.5 acres in Myakka Valley for under $450,000! The 2000+ sq. ft., 3/2 concrete block home has an attached 2-car garage, and is located on 7.5 high and dry acres in the center of Myakka Valley Ranches, Sarasotas biggest equestrian community. Due to a fire, the home was totally rebuilt in 2000 (walls, roof, electric, plumbing, you name it). It offers a lot of privacy; you can barely see your neighbors! There is a beautiful saddle trail in the back, and more than enough grass to support your horses (or cattle). The home has a split floor plan, with three big bedrooms. A unique feature is the location of the master bedroom: it is separated from the rest of the house by the garage. It would be ideal for an in-law, or an adult child! There are ca. 280 families in Myakka Valley, where it is easy to make new friends: there is a horse club, a book club, and a womens forum. The subdivision is teeming with wildlife, and borders Myakka River State Park, Floridas biggest state park. Beautiful Siesta Beach, and Downtown Sarasota, with its many cultural amenities , are only 30 minutes away! Located in a great school district, close to shopping, restaurants, and the interstate, Myakka Valley offers a unique opportunity for those who like a country lifestyle, but yet need the convenience of a sophisticated urban center.
