Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after Myakka Valley Ranches community of Sarasota, this beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers the perfect blend of country charm and modern convenience. Set on nearly 8 high and dry acres, this 2,242 sq.ft. home is an equestrian dream come true.
Step inside to find luxury vinyl flooring throughout, a spacious living room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a formal dining area perfect for entertaining. The heart of the home is the thoughtfully designed kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinetry for all your culinary needs. The home also features updated PGT windows and storm shutters, providing energy efficiency, and peace of mind. A newer air conditioner, installed in 2019, ensures year-round comfort, and the durable metal roof offers lasting protection.
Enjoy year-round Florida living with a huge saltwater pool—complete with a 2023 screen pool cage—and a generous 641 sq.ft. covered patio ideal for outdoor gatherings and quiet evenings alike. The home also includes a spacious attached 2-car garage and enough interior space to add a 4th bedroom.
Equestrians will appreciate the 5-stall horse barn equipped with water and electric, a well-appointed tack room, and five large fenced pastures, each with water access, and boarding the neighborhood horse trail. There's also a spring-fed pond with tilapia, adding to the property's natural charm and usability. A large workshop (with an additional 2 stalls) on the property provides ample space for storing tractors, mowers, and tools, while a chicken coop allows for fresh eggs right from your backyard. For those with a love of RV travel, the property also includes two 50-amp hook-ups—perfect for campers and visiting guests.
Myakka Valley Ranches is one of the few equestrian communities in Sarasota. The approximately 280 homes are all situated on at least 5 acres, creating a sense of space and privacy. Winding roads and scenic nature trails invite residents to walk, bike, or ride horseback through a breathtaking natural landscape. Just moments from this property is a community nature park with kayak access to the Upper Lake of Myakka River State Park—Florida’s largest state park, spanning 37,000 acres.
Despite the tranquil setting, you're only 40 minutes from downtown Sarasota’s vibrant arts and cultural scene and 25 minutes to the world-renowned white sands of Siesta Key Beach. Excellent restaurants, shopping, and top-rated public and private schools are all within a 15-minute drive from what locals lovingly call “the Valley.”
This is more than a home—it's a lifestyle. Whether you're an equestrian, hobby farmer, nature lover, or simply seeking peace and privacy with convenient access to the best of Sarasota, this exceptional property is not to be missed.
