OWNER IS MOTIVATED AND ENTERTAINING ALL OFFERS! Myakka Valley Ranches, “Sarasota County’s last frontier:” Great opportunity to acquire a beautiful, very private, 5-acre lot with 2 big homes (each with an attached air-conditioned garage), a spectacular pool, and a big air-conditioned outbuilding for a remarkably low price. The 3,515 SF 2-story home in the front has a ground floor master suite with skylights, and two bedrooms upstairs, both with en suite bathrooms. The large kitchen was fully renovated in 2011, with quartz countertops, center island and seating peninsula; walk-in party. Large living room with fireplace, and dining room, fully renovated in 2023. The home has four baths, an upstairs balcony/deck with beautiful views of the pond, and several screened porches. The downstairs master is currently used as a work area. This could also serve as a rental since it has a utility kitchen and a bathroom. In front of the home is a 1,092 sf air-conditioned building, which was once a 3-car garage (the overhead doors are still in place). It features a kitchenette and a half bath. This would be a great space for a studio, caretaker, home-schooling office, you name it. On the left side of the house is an attached carport, which is connected to an air-conditioned 702 sf 2- car garage. The 2,848 sf home in the back of the property features a big (1,800 sf) pool deck with a spectacular ray-shaped heated pool. In its center is a built-in hot tub with ray-shaped grotto and waterfall. A huge industrial fan is one of the first things you notice upon entering the light and bright 20 x 40 studio/office on the south side of the house. A breezeway connects the house to an 1,131 sf 3-car air-conditioned garage. The 5+ acre lot is spectacular: a big pond in the center separates the two homes, while many big live oak trees, all kinds of palm trees, and bamboo clusters give it a distinctly tropical, “Florida” vibe. The reason that this property is priced so competitively (7,455 SF airconditioned living space, at $199/SF, compared to a median sale price of $401/sf in the community since 1/7/23) has to do with the unfortunate effect of hurricane Ian, an exceptionally destructive storm: the back house flooded in 9/23, and will need a major make-over. A beginning has been made: floors, doors, closets, bathroom fixtures, appliances, kitchen cabinets, and all the affected sections of drywall have been removed, and mold remediation has taken place. The A/C is running, and the pool is clean. It was planned as a 3/2 house, but it would be rather easy to change this configuration. Because the front house is higher (flood zone x), it only had minor water intrusion, which has been professionally restored. Myakka Valley Ranches is one of the most beautiful equestrian communities in Sarasota. The ca. 280 homes are all situated on at least 5 acres. Winding roads and nature trails provide its residents with the opportunity to walk, ride their bicycle or horse in a stunningly beautiful environment. There is even a community park (close to the listing), where one can launch a kayak, and paddle to the Upper Lake of Myakka River State Park, Florida’s biggest state park at 37,000 acres. Downtown Sarasota, with its many cultural amenities, is only 40 minutes away, as are the award-winning beaches of Siesta Key. Great restaurants, shops, and good public and private schools are all within 30 minutes from “the Valley,” as the locals call their slice of paradise.

OWNER IS MOTIVATED AND ENTERTAINING ALL OFFERS! This is your chance to own one of the most remarkable homes in Myakka Valley Ranches: Situated on 5 1/2 acres, the ca. 4,900 SF building has a wow factor, most obvious of which is the completely renovated 32 X 16 indoor pool set inside a 1,700 SF space! The rest of the house includes four bedrooms (2 master suites), 3 1/2 bathrooms, a spacious living room with a bay window, a family room with a fireplace, and a large, light and bright studio (or 4th bedroom) with a big fireplace that looks out over the pool and the front lawn. The kitchen features beautiful granite counters, wooden cabinets, S/S appliances (gas stove), and is conveniently located next to the pool, living room, and dining room. Outside, behind the French doors of the pool room, is an almost 1,000 SF screened deck. A 1,440 SF utility building/garage/barn with 3 overhead doors is integrated with a chain link fence that encloses about 1/2 acre on the north side of the lot. This would make a great area for a vegetable garden, or a pen for small animals. The house offers a lot of privacy, since it sits far from the road, and only one neighbor is visible from the lot. An interesting architectural detail is provided by the brick arches around the doors and hallways that lead to the pool and two bedrooms. Other features include a whole-house Kohler generator (2023) with a 1000-gallon in-ground propane tank. The pool can be heated with solar panels, and a heat pump. The property is less than a mile from State Road 72, and the local fire station, from where it is less than 30 minutes to reach the beautiful beaches of Siesta Key, or Downtown Sarasota with its many fine restaurants, concert venues, museums, all kinds of cultural happenings. Great public and private schools are not far away (the Out-Of-Door Academy, opened a new campus, just west of the “Valley” for pre-K-5 ). Myakka Valley Ranches is a wonderful equestrian-friendly community with saddle trails and lots of at least 5 acres. The home is located in Unit 1 of the subdivision, which is no longer subject to its governing documents. Use restrictions are dictated by Sarasota County’s zoning regulations for OUE1 (Open Use Estate, one main residence every 5 acres). This designation does allow for some light commercial use, incidental to the property. Please, check with the zoning authorities to make sure that if you want to conduct a business, its nature will be compatible with the local zoning regulations. Finally, for those who love nature: the entrance to Myakka River State Park, Florida’s biggest state park, is only 1.5 miles from the entrance to the subdivision. This park is a great place to hike, bike, kayak, or ride your horse. Bring your binoculars, and enjoy observing all the interesting critters that live in these 37,000 acres. Welcome to Myakka Valley Ranches, Sarasota’s last frontier!
