The land is virtually all uplands and the grass is lush and green, just waiting for your horses to arrive. You will love the oak hammock behind the home (3/4 of an acre, protected area) that provides a natural buffer between neighbors. The home offers 4 bedrooms, a formal dining room, den, plus a living room and family room, both leading to a large screened pool with pavered deck. Not to be missed, a fabulous remodeled laundry room and a 3 car garage. The kitchen features 2019 stainless steel appliances, gorgeous cabinets, stunning quartz countertops with a large center island plus a breakfast nook with aquarium glass overlooking the pool and barn. The Owner's Suite provides a phenomenal Spa Bathroom perfectly remodeled in todays must have colors and finishes. The two guest bathrooms have also been updated. The home has SO MANY fantastic improvements including: A new roof in 2015, the pool was resurfaced in 2008 (it's 6 feet deep) and new pavers were added to the pool deck in 2019 (new pool pump too). There is also a new washer and dryer (2019) plus the HUGE circular driveway was resurfaced in 2019. Gorgeous new flooring is now being installed in all the main living areas making this home practically perfect in every way. Whether you are looking for elbow room between neighbors or are in search of an equestrian community with miles of trails, there is nothing like Panther Ridge. This 4500-acre community is located next to Lakewood Ranch and offers country living with an estate-property distinction. Its natural setting evokes 'old Florida' and is vast enough for residents to enjoy horseback riding, elaborate gardens, and complete privacy. Single-family homes are showcased on home sites that encompass 5+ acres. Designs vary from 'old Florida' southern estates, contemporary Florida homes to modern country mansions, each adding its own luster to this beautifully conceived estate/equestrian community. There are 2 parks featuring a horse-riding area, basketball court, baseball area, plus a covered area for picnicking. The hiking/riding trails cover 15 miles of land with oak filled hammocks, rustic bridges over creeks, and wide-open spaces highlighted by majestic oak and towering pine. Best of all, Panther Ridge is actually ON A RIDGE! It is NOT in a flood zone, in fact, it is the highest elevation in Sarasota/Manatee. If you love to golf, try out the Concession Golf and Country Club located on the south side of ST RD 70 which offers a private golf course package as well as a social membership (Panther Ridge residents may join if they like but membership is not mandatory). Minutes away you will find The Premier Sports Campus at Lakewood Ranch as well as a new Publix/shopping center that is currently under construction and should be open by 12-2020. Wonderful restaurants, nail and hair salons, gyms, a multitude of golf courses and so much more are very close by. All in all, Panther Ridge offers a peaceful place to call home and enables you to enjoy a very private country lifestyle with a short drive to amenities.
