A rare slice of Old Florida awaits. Imagine coming home to 3 private acres, breathtaking lake views, mature trees and your own peaceful waterfront sanctuary. Set along a beautiful 21-acre lake, this exceptional pool home offers the kind of privacy, natural beauty and space that is increasingly hard to find in Southwest Florida. Beautifully updated and meticulously maintained, it’s a property where you can slow down, spread out and truly enjoy the Florida lifestyle. Pride of ownership is evident throughout, with many of the big-ticket items already replaced or updated, including roof (2022), A/C (2023), pool equipment (2025), mini-split (2025), primary bath (2025), well equipment (2026) and new appliances (2026)—and the list goes on! Updated bathrooms, kitchen, flooring and fresh paint add to the move-in-ready appeal. For additional peace of mind, the home also features hurricane-impact windows, roll out hurricane shutters and a hardwired security alarm system. Mature trees and native Florida flora surround the property, creating a peaceful, picturesque setting with beautiful lake views and abundant wildlife. The expansive screened pool and deck connect the main residence to a private Guest Retreat & Multipurpose Suite, offering incredible flexibility for extended family, overnight guests, a home office, game room, studio, hobby space or personal getaway. The outdoor lifestyle is just as impressive. A large workshop, separate storage shed, chicken coop and swing set provide plenty of room for hobbies, storage and enjoying the acreage. At the water’s edge, a charming lakeside retreat creates the perfect place to unwind—enjoy your morning coffee, cast a line into the fish-filled lake, watch the wildlife or settle in with your favorite drink and take in the beautiful sunset views across the water. This truly is a nature lover’s paradise. Located within biking distance of Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park, you’ll have access to the Carlton Reserve and an extensive network of trails winding through thousands of acres of preserved Florida wilderness. Hike or bike for miles while experiencing some of Southwest Florida’s most beautiful natural surroundings, with convenient access to the extensive Legacy Trail system for even more biking, walking and outdoor recreation. While offering a peaceful, private setting surrounded by nature, you’re still just minutes from I-75 and conveniently located near the future Sarasota Memorial Hospital campus and future Detwiler’s Farm Market. Historic Downtown Venice and the beautiful Gulf beaches are also just a short drive away, including Venice’s famous shoreline known as the Shark Tooth Capital of the World. Three private acres. A 21-acre lake. Pool. Guest retreat. Workshop. Storage. Incredible fishing. Hurricane protection. Major updates already completed. Privacy, nature and convenience. No HOA or CDD fees! This isn’t simply a home—it’s a private lakefront lifestyle rarely found in Southwest Florida.
