GREAT FOR AN EXTENDED FAMILY! Two big houses on 6 acres in Myakka Valley Ranches, one of Sarasota’s most beautiful subdivisions, only 10 minutes east of the I-75. The extensively renovated 5/2 3,280 SqFt main home is great for entertaining: a huge family room/kitchen/dry bar combination, and easy access to the big pool deck, create a great flow for your guests. In case you need privacy, there are a formal living room and dining room on either side of the front entrance. The kitchen features a big L-shaped breakfast bar, a center island, wooden cabinets, and beautiful granite counters. There are two master bedrooms, as well as three smaller guest bedrooms, an exercise room, a laundry room, an attached 2-car garage, and an attached 1-car garage. The 2265 SqFt 4/3 guest house is located on the west side of the property. It has its own utilities, driveway, fencing, two horse stalls, and two storage sheds. Myakka Valley Ranches consists of about 300 properties, covering ca. 2,000 acres. There are wide easements, and miles of trails, ideal for trail rides, hiking, jogging, mountain biking, walking your dog, you name it. There is an abundance of wildlife in the subdivision, which borders Myakka River State Park. Good schools, shopping, and restaurants are all in the area. Downtown Sarasota with its many cultural amenities is only half an hour, as are the award-winning beaches of Siesta Key. If you have to practice social distancing, there is no better place to do so than on the beautiful, empty roads and nature trails of Myakka Valley Ranches! Please, check out the awesome, interactive 3D Tour!

Active with contract. Back-ups accepted. Short sale. REDUCED AGAIN! Two big houses on 5 gorgeous acres in MYAKKA VALLEY RANCHES, Sarasota's biggest equestrian subdivision. The main house (ca. 3000 sq. ft. ) has 6 bedrooms, 3 baths, a pool, a huge finished lanai (study), and an attached 2-car garage. The other home is a Palm Harbor manufactured home (2005) on a brick foundation. This house is about 2400 sq. ft. , and has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. It has its own well and septic, electric meter, and parking. Although this property cannot be split, it is ideal for a multifamily situation. The main house needs some work, but has a newer roof and HVAC. The lot has many big, old oak trees, and is partly fenced; there are no outbuildings. This would be a good property for horse lovers, since there is plenty of grass, and two saddle trails can be accessed from the back.
