MYAKKA VALLEY RANCHES! If you want to live on 5 acres in Sarasota, and have a limited budget, this home is for you; it is currently the best deal on the market. This adorable 2-story 3/3 log home is situated on 5 acres, and is surrounded by beautiful mature trees. It has a wonderful open floorplan, featuring an updated kitchen and a great room with /a big fireplace. There are two bedrooms and two baths (one with laundry) downstairs, while upstairs we find a bedroom with a big balcony, overlooking the land, a study, and a small bathroom. The caged pool deck has a large covered seating area, and is great for entertaining. A big barn/garage/workshop with attached stalls is usable, but in need of TLC. The property is fenced and cross-fenced, and has a big pond with an island. Myakka Valley’s biggest assets are its many miles of saddle trails which can also be used by pedestrians or mountain bikes. This is a great community with a very active saddle club, a women’s forum, and a book club. It is located next to Myakka River State Park, Florida’s biggest state park. The gorgeous white beaches of Sarasota are only half an hour from this beautiful subdivision, as is Downtown Sarasota, with its many cultural attractions. Great private and public schools, shops, and restaurants are all within reasonable distance. Once you discover Myakka Valley Ranches, you will understand why most of its residents never want to leave the “Valley” as they call it.
