5227 Myakka Valley TrailSarasota, FL 34241Sale Price: $490,000

THE.BEST.LOCATION.EVER! Unique opportunity to live next to Florida's biggest state park, yet close to the wonderful town of Sarasota. This lovely updated pool home with a guest house shares 500 feet with Myakka River State Park, a 37,0000-acre wonderland teeming with wildlife. You have to see the view from the big screened lanai to believe how spectacular it is! The front porch features a slate floor and two impressive river rock columns. You enter the “L”-shaped home in the big dining room, followed by the kitchen, where you turn left to go to the living room and bedrooms. The living room has a wall of glass on the lanai side; French doors lead to the 20 x 23 lanai where there is always a nice breeze and a million-dollar view. The owners converted part of the old horse barn into a beautiful, cozy ca. 400 SqFt 1/1 guest house with a kitchenette. The rest of the barn features a number of big storage rooms, and a wide breezeway that leads to the 40 x 40 pole barn, where you can park your cars, tractors, boats, RV's, you name it. The property, which is located at the end of a dead-end street, is a labor of love: the big oak trees are trimmed, the pastures are mowed, there are flowers everywhere, and the improvements are immaculate. Deed restrictions allow for boats and/or RV's on the property, and there are no pet restrictions. Myakka Valley Ranches is a beautiful subdivision with miles of trails, a great social scene, located in a very good school district. There are no traffic jams, nor red tide!
