5349 Old Ranch Rd, Sarasota, FL 34241

REDUCED BY $20,000! Almost 7 acres with a big 3/2 pool home, and a workshop in Myakka Valley Ranches! The split plan home has an open floor plan, laminate floors, a kitchen with granite countertops, and a laundry room. You will love the HUGE walk-in closet in the master bedroom, and the extra office (could be 4th bedroom). The house has a newer roof (2010), thermopane windows, a pool deck with pavers, with a 14 x 15 covered seating area, and an adorable gazebo for the BBQ. There are two simple stalls and some smaller animal shelters on the property, which has enough pasture to support a couple of horses. Myakka Valley Ranches is a great community with miles of saddle trails (ask your agent to download the attached trail map), and a community park where you can launch a kayak. The quiet, private, roads are great for walking and bicycling, which is a great way to enjoy the abundance of wildlife that spills over from Myakka River State Park, Florida’s biggest state park, which borders the subdivision. Excellent schools, shops, and restaurants are all in the area, and within 30 minutes you can enjoy the beautiful white beaches of Siesta Key, or be in the cultural center of Downtown Sarasota. Myakka Valley Ranches has about 280 families, and a rich social life, which includes a very active saddle club, women’s forum, and a book club. HOA dues are less than $500 per year!
