Expansive Ranch Estate on Nearly 7 Acres in Myakka Valley Ranches, Sarasota, FL

Welcome to a rare opportunity to own a spacious ranch-style estate on nearly 7 acres of fully fenced, high-and-dry land in the desirable Myakka Valley Ranches equestrian community. Set in a quiet, private section of the community, this property offers exceptional privacy, flexibility, and room to enjoy the Florida lifestyle—all while being just a short drive from Sarasota’s renowned beaches, including Siesta Key. 

Importantly, this property is situated in an area that does not border anticipated future development, providing a level of long-term privacy and open-space character that is increasingly difficult to find in Sarasota. 

A Spacious Home Designed for Living 

The generously sized residence features 4 large bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, including two en-suite baths, a Jack-and-Jill bath with a jacuzzi tub, and a fourth common bathroom, all have showers. The flexible floor plan also includes a dedicated office and separate dining room, making the home ideal for a large family, entertaining, or working from home. 

At the heart of the home is a beautifully upgraded kitchen that opens toward a large family room featuring a dramatic vaulted wood ceiling and floor-to-ceiling fireplace with an impressive wood mantel. 

Large windows throughout the home capture views of the surrounding open acreage, filling the interior with natural light. Even the bathrooms are bright and inviting, with skylights or windows. All bathrooms have been professionally upgraded since the home was built, including tiled showers and updated fixtures. 

The primary suite offers a private exterior door leading directly to a charming patio, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. 

The attached two-car garage also provides an exciting opportunity for future expansion, if desired. It could potentially be converted into an exceptionally large primary suite, guest quarters, recreation space, or other living area, subject to applicable approvals. 

Exceptional Outdoor Living 

The exterior of the home has been thoughtfully updated and maintained, featuring a one-year-old roof, Hardie plank and Hardie siding, fresh exterior paint, extensive paver installations, attractive landscape and night lighting, and a saltwater swimming pool with outdoor shower. 

A circular driveway welcomes guests to the property, with a paved walkway leading to the front entrance. 

At the rear of the home, a beautiful covered patio with a vaulted wood ceiling and two large exterior fans creates an inviting place to relax and enjoy spectacular western-facing sunsets. 

The expansive pool deck extends from the rear of the home around the saltwater pool and out toward the surrounding lawn. A paved walkway continues around the back of the home and connects directly to the private patio outside the primary bedroom. 

Equestrian & Hobby Farm Potential 

The acreage is exceptionally well suited for horses, livestock, agricultural pursuits, or a hobby farm. The property is divided into six separate pastures, plus the area surrounding the home, providing flexibility for a variety of uses. 

One pasture features mature oak trees that provide natural shade. All of the pastures are clean, clear, and ready for use. 

An established horse and walking trail easement runs along the west side of the property and provides access through the property for its designated recreational and equestrian purposes. 

With nearly seven acres, the possibilities are extensive. Depending on zoning and required approvals, the property may offer potential for additional structures such as a barn, workshop, guest or extended-family accommodations, equipment storage, boat or RV storage, and other improvements. 

Privacy, Space & Location 

This property offers something increasingly rare in Sarasota: substantial acreage, privacy, open views, and room to create the lifestyle you envision. 

Located within Myakka Valley Ranches, a well-established equestrian community, the property combines a peaceful country setting with convenient access to Sarasota's amenities, dining, shopping, and world-famous beaches. 

For those seeking a true estate property with room for family, horses, hobbies, recreation, and future possibilities, this is a home in every sense of the word—and an opportunity to own a piece of Sarasota that is becoming increasingly difficult to replicate. 

Privacy. Space. Opportunity. Location. This is Florida acreage living at its best.
