Active with Contract. Great high and dry property in Myakka Valley Ranches, Sarasota's biggest equestrian community. Including the big Florida room, which is covered by the same roof as the rest of the house, this 3/3 pool home is around 2000 sq. ft. The18x30 Florida room (which can be closed off with accordion hurricane shutters) has wonderful views of the land, and is a great place to entertain. The owner has expanded the master bedroom (23x14) and added a master bathroom with a jetted tub. The home has an attached 2-car garage, as well as a 24X32 utility building with a concrete floor. There is a guest cottage in the back of the property. The land is fenced and cross-fenced; a saddle trail runs along the back. The property has some beautiful mature oaks, while there are a number of good pastures for your four-legged friends. Myakka Valley Ranches is located half an hour from the white beaches of Siesta Key. There are excellent schools in the area, as well as plenty of stores and restaurants. DowntownSarasota, with its great cultural amenities, is also a 30-minute drive. The subdivision has a book club, women's forum, and a horse club. Myakka River State Park, Florida's biggest state park, borders the subdivision to the east. This is currently the best deal on 5 acres in Sarasota!
