Well, you have just that opportunity at BVR South, a 10.7-acre farm less than 20 minutes to shopping, dining and Tampa Bay. Options are plentiful for this massive, well-appointed parcel. Be it work or play or both, listen and hear opportunity knocking. The home was constructed in 2002 with 2,385 square feet, three bedrooms, two baths, an oversized garage and has been very well maintained. Enjoy sweeping sunsets from its long front yard. The owner’s retreat has an en-suite bath with a soaking tub, rain shower and water closet. The primary closet has custom finishes. The kitchen is outfitted with GE stainless steel appliances, granite and fine cabinetry. The whole house has a water treatment system and in-home reverse osmosis. The bedrooms are spacious.

The home runs efficiently with its newer energy-efficient 16 SEER air conditioning system, deep water well and septic tank. Outdoors, there is an ample-sized lanai that is fully screened and ready to build an outdoor kitchen with water and utilities in place. And, you can wash all your cares and the day’s dirt away in the outdoor shower. Enjoy outdoor festivities in the above-ground pool. Gather around the fire pit and tell stories galore. Enjoy fishing in the fully-stocked pond. Catch bluegill, largemouth bass and catfish. Or, just enjoy the peaceful fountain and gazebo. If that’s not enough, there is a large, cement pad on the property ready to install a pre-fab building. The ranch is fully equipped with large, fenced pastures. There is a barn with a separate meter and driveway, stables and room for stalls. It also has a fully wired office. Attached is an outdoor hay barn. Possibilities are boundless here. With no neighbors in sight, you’ll have complete privacy. It’s just minutes to Florida Gulf beaches, in close proximity both to Tampa and Sarasota International Airports and its surrounded by Florida wildlife – cormorants and turtles in the pond, sandhill cranes. Enjoy annual visits by the black-bellied whistling ducks who mate and raise their ducklings on and around the property. There’s even an occasional hummingbird visit. Be, Grow, Enjoy, Here.
