Property Description
Discover the freedom of acreage living in desirable Myakka Valley Ranches, Sarasota, Florida where nearly 7 acres of fully fenced, high-and-dry land provide the space, privacy, and versatility that are increasingly difficult to find in Sarasota. Tucked into a quiet, private area of the community, this expansive ranch-style property provides for an exceptional Florida lifestyle with room for horses, livestock, gardening, recreation, hobbies, and more-yet remains within convenient reach of Sarasota's beaches, including Siesta Key.
The land is thoughtfully divided into six separate pastures plus the area surrounding the home, offering tremendous flexibility for equestrian and agricultural use. An established horse and walking trail easement borders the west side of the property. Myakka Valley Ranches is a true equestrian community, with approximately 17 miles of paved roads featuring riding-trail easements and additional trails throughout the neighborhood. Nearby Myakka River State Park provides even more opportunities for horseback riding, hiking, and enjoying the area's natural beauty.
The spacious 4-bedroom, 4-bath residence provides for an adaptable floor plan designed for comfortable family living and entertaining. The home includes two en-suite bedrooms, a Jack-and-Jill bath with Jacuzzi tub, a fourth full bath, dedicated office, and separate dining room. The beautifully upgraded kitchen opens to a generous family room highlighted by a dramatic vaulted wood ceiling and floor-to-ceiling fireplace with a striking wood mantel.
Large windows throughout the home bring in abundant natural light and showcase views of the surrounding acreage. Professionally updated bathrooms feature tiled showers and updated fixtures, while skylights and windows add to the bright, open feel. The primary suite includes a private exterior door opening directly onto a charming patio, creating an easy connection between the home and outdoor living spaces.
Outdoor living is a standout feature. The saltwater swimming pool, outdoor shower, extensive paver areas, attractive landscaping, and landscape/night lighting create an inviting setting for relaxing and entertaining. At the rear of the home, a beautiful covered patio with vaulted wood ceiling and two large fans provides the perfect place to enjoy the property's peaceful setting and spectacular western-facing sunsets.
Recent exterior improvements include a 2025 roof, Hardie plank and Hardie siding, fresh exterior paint, and extensive paver installations, providing both curb appeal and peace of mind.
The attached two-car garage provides for additional future potential, subject to applicable approvals, and could provide an opportunity for expanded living space, guest accommodations, recreation space, or a large primary suite.
Whether your dream is an equestrian estate, hobby farm, private family retreat, or simply having room to spread out, this property provides for a rare combination of land, privacy, lifestyle, and location. Enjoy the tranquility of Myakka Valley Ranches while remaining close to Sarasota's beaches, dining, shopping, and amenities.
Nearly 7 acres. High and dry. Fully fenced. Equestrian-friendly. Private. Pool. Space to live, ride, relax, and grow. A rare Sarasota acreage opportunity.
