7049 MYAKKA VALLEY TRAIL, Sarasota, FL 34241 - Sarasota County

This is your chance to own one of the most remarkable homes in Myakka Valley Ranches: Situated on 5 ½ acres, the ca. 4,900 SF building has a wow factor, most obvious of which is the completely renovated 32 X 16 indoor pool set inside a 1,700 SF space! The rest of the house includes three bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a spacious living room with a bay window, a family room with a fireplace, and a large, light and bright studio with a big fireplace that looks out over the pool and the front lawn. The kitchen features beautiful granite counters, wooden cabinets, S/S appliances (gas stove), and is conveniently located next to the pool, living room, and dining room. Outside, behind the French doors of the pool room, is an almost 1,000 SF screened deck. A 1,440 SF utility building/garage/barn with 3 overhead doors is integrated with a chain link fence that encloses about ½ acre on the north side of the lot. This would make a great area for a vegetable garden, or a pen for small animals (once the east corner of the barn is connected with the rest of the fence). The house offers a lot of privacy, since it sits far from the road, and only one neighbor is visible from the lot. An interesting architectural detail is provided by the brick arches around the doors and hallways that lead to the pool. Those brick arches can also be found in the windows of some of the bedrooms. Other features include a whole-house Kohler generator (2023) with a 1000-gallon in-ground propane tank. The pool can be heated with solar panels, and a heat pump. The property is only one mile from State Road 72, from where it is less than 30 minutes to reach the beautiful beaches of Siesta Key, or Downtown Sarasota with its many fine restaurants, concert venues, museums, all kinds of cultural happenings. Great public and private schools are not far away (the Out-Of-Door Academy, opened a new campus, just west of the “Valley” for pre-K-1 students). The home is located in Unit 1 of the subdivision, which is no longer subject to its governing documents. Use restrictions are dictated by Sarasota County’s zoning regulations for OUE1 (Open Use Estate, one residence per 5 acres). This designation does allow for some light commercial use, incidental to the property. Please, check with the zoning authorities to make sure that if you want to conduct a business, its nature will be compatible with the local zoning regulations. Finally, for those who love nature: the entrance to Myakka River State Park, Florida’s biggest state park, is only 1.5 miles from the entrance to the subdivision. This park is a great place to hike, bike, kayak, or ride your horse. Bring your binoculars, and enjoy observing all the interesting critters that live in these 37,000 acres. Welcome to Myakka Valley Ranches, Sarasota’s last frontier!
