MYAKKA VALLEY RANCHES: Fixer upper on ca. 10 stunningly beautiful acres. This cute 2/2 home needs a thorough makeover, including the roof and HVAC, which is why a potential buyer needs to have either the cash, or the right mortgage product to tackle this project. The 1500 sq. ft. concrete-block home sits almost 300 feet from the center of the road; no neighbors can be seen from this very private lot. There is a 32 x 40 concrete barn, which is in need of a new roof. The property has plenty of grass in case you want to keep horses, but also big areas that are old Florida. The north end borders the conservation easement of the Howard Creek, a small stream that flows into the Upper Lake of Myakka River State Park, Floridas largest state park, located next to the subdivision. There is a saddle trail on the west side of the property. A big pond with a little island is waiting for the water table to rise (there is some water in it). You will be sharing this property with deer, turkey, bobcat, foxes, and a variety of other interesting critters. In Myakka Valley, you can enjoy miles of nature trails, make new friends at the meetings of the saddle club, the womens forum, or book club. Although you are surrounded by nature, the cultural attractions of Downtown Sarasota are only 30 minutes away, as are Siesta Keys beautiful white beaches. Great schools, shops, and restaurants are all within a reasonable distance from this beautiful subdivision which roughly 285 families call home.
