Gentle reader, Whilst I have not seen ALL the properties in Myakka, I would put money on this being the most beautiful! SO thoughtfully placed amongst the 30 ancient oaks, this home defines the meaning of tranquility. Not one tree was removed in the planning of this 2017 homestead, offering vistas of graceful Spanish moss and foliage from every room. Professionally designed with nature in mind, it sports 3 outdoor areas, a comfy veranda style front porch, a back yard patio with firepit and the best!, an upstairs screened in treehouse lounge with waterproof panels for rain protection. Sip your morning Java and spy on your horses below in the oak hammock decorated with native orchids and resurrection fern.
The home was constructed beyond Florida building codes for 150 mph winds. Every attention has been given to detail, with hurricane clips(even on barn), extra insulation in attic and between floors for soundproofing, high impact windows and kitchen door, with wood hurricane panels for the front door and studio/barn, boasting 18 foot ceiling in the living room with awning clerestory windows for the Principle of Passive Energy, allowing air flow and surrounding views of the trees and sky. Granite countertops throughout including a 12 foot breakfast bar in kitchen/dining area for keeping the cook company. And soooo much closet space!!featuring a kitchen pantry, storage under the stairs, and 3 linen closets. The handsome staircase is hewn from handcrafted mahogany, leading to the spacious master suite and treehouse lounge. The 3rd bedroom is currently utilized as an office loft but can be easily converted. Both bathrooms are artistically designed and incorporate private water closets. Stylish wood floors and recessed lighting through out offers all the best in a newer built home. Now for the barn! It features 2 roomy horse stalls, tack room, loft, 12 x12 tool shed, and a 12×24 finished artist studio with wall ac for a possible in-law or guest house project. Property is completely fenced and cross-fenced, backing up to Myakka State Park and comes with a round pen for equine training. Speaking of, you’ll be neighbors to the fabulous world class TerraNova Equestrian Center just down the street. All the schools in this zone are exceptionally rated too! Property is conveniently close to all the shopping and festivities in Lakewood Ranch,and just a short drive to vibrant downtown Sarasota. Schedule a visit to be enchanted with the old Florida culture of this charming piece of paradise.
