21210 69th Ave., Bradenton, FL 34211

Nestled in the heart of Panther Ridge, Lakewood Ranch’s premiere equestrian community, a post card perfect country home and barn is ready and waiting for you and your family with over 9 acres of gorgeous green pastures and NO wetlands- this land is high and dry! In fact, it is one of the best draining lots you can find, so your horses can enjoy more turn out and less stall time. The home is nestled in the heart of fenced and cross fenced pastures on a very quiet cul-de-sac, and the land has the perfect combination of emerald green grass as well as towering pine trees to provide shade on a warm summers day. Constructed in 2004, this charming 4-bedroom 3½ bath plus bonus room two-story home was perfectly updated in January 2018 and features a sweeping front porch that overlooks a deep blue pond, complete with its very own dock- perfect for fishing (*home was added onto in 2010, ask for details)! Once inside, your eye will be immediately drawn to the stunning feature wall in the Great Room and then to the sparkling blue pool that will delight your family with a sun deck and waterfall. Your four-legged family members will also be happy to find that there is a doggy door that leads from the pool area to a fully fenced in backyard. The kitchen has been completely updated and features white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, an enormous pantry, a window overlooking the pool and a large formal dining room. The Owner’s Suite is super-sized, features a coffered ceiling, and if you want enormous walk in closets, there are TWO of them! The en-suite Spa Bathroom is a dream come true with double vanities, a large soaking tub, and roomy walk in shower. Also downstairs is a ½ bath for your guests plus the perfect spot for a mother-in-law suite or for additional family members. This area is completely private and includers two bedrooms (one has sliders leading to the pool) and a full bathroom. Upstairs two more bedrooms can be found along with a full bath and a large bonus room with spectacular views of the property and pond. Another must have is the 3 plus car garage with oodles of room for your vehicles, riding lawn mower, or golf cart. A bridle path leading to the 15 miles of hiking and riding trails can be accessed directly off the property. The long winding driveway leads to a large parking area that can handle multiple vehicles as well as your horse trailer and the 3-stall barn has been created to take advantage of the constant breezes found only on “The Ridge”. There is a concrete aisle way, two enormous storage areas for tack, hay and equipment, and the stalls themselves are roomy with access to the pasture. Outside the barn is a wash rack for bathing and grooming your horse as well as a loafing shed in the southern pasture for inclement weather. Panther Ridge covers 4500 acres, has 13 neighborhoods, 15 miles of hiking and equestrian trails, and although you feel like you are in the middle of the country, the reality is you are close to everything. Minutes away you will find excellent schools, fine dining & the new UTC Mall. Right across the street is golfing at its best at The Concession Golf & CC and next door is the Lakewood Ranch Sports Complex. In the fall a brand-new Publix is slated for construction only 5 miles away.
