IMMACULATE CONTEMPORARY EQUESTRIAN ESTATE. This is probably the most up-to-date horse property on the market in Sarasota: The home was custom-built for the sellers by Maglich Homes in 2002. The 3-stall barn with air-conditioned tack and feed room was added in 2005, while the concrete-Block utility building was built in 2009. The sellers have maintained the property to the highest standards, and the house shows like a model. It has all the features today's buyers covet: an open floor plan featuring a centrally-located big kitchen with granite countertops and S/S appliances, a family room with high, coffered ceilings, a formal dining room, and many big windows that offer beautiful views of the grounds. The split floor plan features a big master bedroom with a beautiful bathroom, and two guest bedrooms with two bathrooms. The travertine-covered pool deck is accessible through a number of sliding doors; it features a big, covered dining area. Your horses will love the lush green pastures, the big pond, and the barn, which has three stalls, a big storage area, and a feed/tack room. The barn has a covered area, where you can sit after a day in the saddle, and enjoy the wonderful views. In addition to the three-car garage, there is a 40x40 utility building, which has 240 Volts, and water; it is a mechanic's (or collector's) dream. There are excellent schools in the area, as well as restaurants and shopping. The community features miles of saddle trails and a great social life.
