5270 Vanderipe Rd., Sarasota, FL 34241

Active With Contract: This 2400 sq. ft. cedar plank home is in need of a new owner who can appreciate the complete privacy of this lot, the big, screened porches with the beautiful views of the natural surroundings, and the big old oak trees that surround the house. There is a 2-story 40x60 barn on the property with workshops, and plenty of space to park all your cars, trailers, and other toys. Attached to the barn are a number of stalls. This property needs a lot of work, but is well worth it. Myakka Valley Ranches is the biggest equestrian community in the county; it has miles of saddle trails, and a great social life: saddle club, women's forum, and a book club. Good schools, restaurants, and shops are all within 20 minutes away. Siesta Beach is a 30-minute drive, as is Downtown Sarasota, with its many cultural amenities.
