Step back in time and experience the beauty of Old Florida. Enjoy the sprawling views of land, water, and nature. This 10+ acre retreat offers plenty of privacy, yet so close to Lakewood Ranch. The Cowpen Ranch community is comprised of eight large acre residences off Fruitville Road. Completely fenced property allows a safe space for many four-legged family members. Horses and cows are always welcomed in this community. In the morning you can sip your coffee on the front porch while the sunrises. In the evening, the sky becomes alive with vibrant sunset colors, which can be seen from the gorgeous swimming pool area. The kitchen area has been designed to be the hub of the home. Open spaces and plenty of cabinets with granite countertops. There is also a stone fireplace. Beauty and functionality all in one space. The master ensuite has dual sinks, soaking tub and shower. The home was built by custom builder Jonas Yoder. New roof in December 2022. After you have toured the main house, now you get to experience the guest house. The two homes are connected by a breezeway. The guest home has all new appliances. A renovation added another bedroom and bathroom, so the guest home is now a 2/2. Main home is a 3/2. There is an attached two car garage plus a separate workshop/garage building. To fully understand the layout of this property please review the aerial shots. This natural peaceful setting and the two homes could be your retreat today.

SARASOTA - Beautiful, classic ranch home with GUEST HOUSE located on 10 ACRES of picturesque, sprawling, fenced and cross-fenced green pastures. An impressive front gate and 500-foot paved drive lead you to these two country homes, designed and constructed by Jonas Yoder Custom Homes. From the front porch, relax with a glass of lemonade and enjoy unsurpassed views of sunrises, horses, wildlife and a spring fed pond. Only 10 minutes east of the Interstate and an easy commute to downtown Sarasota, this is one of the prettiest areas in east Sarasota County. The Cowpen Ranch community is just 8 residences . The main residence is impeccably maintained, with numerous upgrades and a completely updated lanai and gorgeous swimming pool. Inviting kitchen with granite open to family room is the central hub of this home along with the massive stone fireplace. Separated by a breezeway is a very private, 700-sqft guest cottage with its own kitchen, family room with another wood burning fireplace and relaxing lanai. Guest house is perfect as a Mother-in-Law suite or perhaps even an artist's retreat. Compare at only $194 per square foot and with 10+ acres you will truly appreciate this value. Ideal for a growing family, a hobby farmer or for someone wanting plenty of space and privacy. If you are seeking a country lifestyle, while being close to central Sarasota, a country home with guest house, pool and beautiful acreage does not come along very often. Come tour this rare Cowpen Ranch opportunity today.
