WE DROPPED THE PRICE ANOTHER 12%! OWNERS WANT AN OFFER! PRIVACY AND NATURAL BEAUTY are the first words that come to mind when you look at this property. The two 3/2 homes are surrounded by a mixture of big oak trees, oak hammock, and some pines. Behind the homes (which need a lot of TLC) the Howard Creek flows through a 150-feet wide conservation easement, which forms a beautiful natural buffer. There is a big pond between the two homes, and lots of pasture along the road that could be fenced in for horses or livestock. The main house is ca 1800 sq. ft., and has a split floor plan, and a 2-car attached garage. The guest house is ca. 1500 sq. ft., with a screened porch, and a big utility room. It is surrounded by lush, tropical foliage, and has a deck on the creek. There is an elevated, good-size workshop on the property as well. Both homes need work, but the result will be spectacular! Great for a multiple family situation, artist's studio, you name it. Myakka Valley is a great subdivision of ca. 290 families where it is really easy to make new friends. It has miles of nature trails, a horse club, women's forum, and a book club. Good schools, restaurants, and shopping are all within a reasonable distance. Myakka River State Park, Florida's biggest state park, borders the subdivision. The beaches of Siesta Key are ca. 35 minutes away, as is Downtown Sarasota with its many cultural amenities.
