INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN ONE OF SARASOTA'S MOST CHARISMATIC ESTATES - Located on a private, high-and-dry parcel just blocks from Myakka State Park, this beautifully unique planed-cedar farmhouse shows a side of country living that we don't often see anymore. Cathedral ceilings rise in soaring tribute to the natural hardwood floors, stairs, and walls; the master bedroom loft, open to views of the living room and two-story chipped-stone fireplace, is a one-of-a-kind sanctuary complete with sauna (it just needs a heater!), en-suite master bathroom, built-in office, and huge walk-in closet. Both bathrooms have been recently renovated and the entire home is in a lovingly maintained condition. Dozens upon dozens of oak trees shade the property while leaving the ground level open in a setup that's perfect for allowing horses or other animals to roam. The existing barn is ideal for a workshop and the unfinished upstairs section has incredible potential for an office, living area, or tack room. This property is truly extraordinary. * * Despite its rustic appeal the home has been fully modernized. It's been retrofitted with both lexan and metal hurricane shutters for insurance breaks and there's a high-speed fiber-optic line running straight to the home to ensure your internet connection is as fast as it possibly can be.
