2212 57th St Rd., Bradenton, FL 34208

To say this home is anything less than majestic may do it disservice. Over 12 acres of lush, well-manicured green space sits directly on the Braden River and allows maximum privacy for those who want the best of everything our area has to offer. Simply entering up the 500' canopy-lined driveway you'll pass mature oaks, palm trees, and other foliage that helps to capture the backdrop of what it would feel like to live on this estate. But, that's just the beginning. Located at the rear of the property is beautifully updated, nearly 3000 sq ft, 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom ranch style home that will overwhelm its new owner each time they return. This is a one of a kind Florida plantation, loaded with character and charm. A large caged pool allows for daytime family fun, then extends into optimal sunset watching opportunities at dusk. Beyond that, a new Trex dock was installed where you can park your boat of sizeable length. A short 10-minute boat ride gets you to the open water of the Manatee River. A total of 15 minutes on the water reaches 3 different dockside restaurants or makes it easy to enjoy leisurely sunset cruises. There is also a separate workshop on the property large enough for 2 additional cars, fully air-conditioned and provides the ability to tinker on projects for the handy types. The rear of this building has separate in-law quarters for extended stay guests. There is so much to list about this home, but it is a magical, seeing is believing type of estate.
