5430 Old Ranch Rd., Sarasota, FL 34241

MYAKKA VALLEY RANCHES: Equestrian estate with beautiful, updated pool home, 16-stall barn, and a big utility building. This property has your name on it if you’re a horse trainer, breeder, or just a serious horse enthusiast. The house has received a number of important renovations: it was made hurricane proof (triple-pane windows, impact door, roof, etc.), and fitted with a whole-house generator. A huge master bath was added to the home in 2007, and during the last couple of years the home has been modernized, as can be seen from the photos and 3D tour. A/c and well pump are new. The horse barn and the utility building were built to withstand 130 mph winds. The horse barn has a big multi function room (tack/feed/kitchen/lounge), a wash rack, sawdust bin, fans for all stalls, you name it. The 840 SqFt utility building is ideal for hay, RV’s, tractors, whatever you need to store. The main residence has a big living room, connected with the kitchen and the pool deck (the pool is built in the shape of an apple!). From the deck you have a great view of the huge old oak trees and the back pastures. If you have no need for a 16-stall barn, you can also remodel part of this 5,000+ SqFt structure, into an awesome art studio, guest house, she shed, man cave; just let your imagination run wild! Myakka Valley Ranches is a 280+ lot community with miles of nature trails (for horses and all forms of non-motorized traffic), two community parks, and an abundance of wildlife. It borders Myakka River State Park, Florida’s biggest state park, and yet, shopping, schools, beaches and the cultural amenities of Downtown Sarasota are all within easy reach. Come and see for yourself why we call this 2500-acre paradise the last frontier of Sarasota County!
