DEAL FELL THROUGH. BACK ON THE MARKET FOR A LOWER PRICE! Absolutely lovely pool home on almost 7.5 high and dry acres in the heart of MYAKKA VALLEY RANCHES, Sarasota's biggest equestrian subdivision. The home sits on a gorgeous lot with many mature trees,yet there is more than enough pasture for your horses. From the big, screened pool deck you can watch deer and sandhill cranes in a park-like setting. The Mennonite-built brick home has a great floor plan, featuring a living room and family room with vaulted ceilings, separated by a partial wall with built-in book shelves and a double-sided fire place. The open kitchen has a cozy dining area. French doors separate the family room from the big pool deck which has an outside shower and bathroom. The split plan features a big master suite with walk-in closet, and a big bathroom, and two smaller guest bedrooms with a bathroom. All the doors in the house are made out of solid, paneled wood. Myakka Valley Ranches is a great community of about 280 families whereit is easy to make new friends: there is a book club, a saddle club, a women's forum, and, starting in August, a mothers' club. Myakka River State Park is the next-door neighbor. Good public and private schools are in the area, as well as shopping and fine dining. Paddle your kayak on the lake in the park, go to Siesta Beach, or a performance of the Sarasota opera, the possibilities are endless!
