One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Tucked beyond a long, oak-lined shell drive, this private Florida farmstead unfolds slowly—twelve pristine acres bordered by a 1,500-acre protected preserve, where silence, sky, and wildlife define the rhythm of daily life. Open pastureland, two reflective ponds, and mature shade trees create a setting that feels both grounded and expansive. Designed for those who value privacy and permanence, the custom residence is constructed of insulated block and finished with Pella energy-efficient windows, offering exceptional strength, quiet interiors, and notably low operating costs. The home spans 3,767 square feet and is thoughtfully arranged for ease and flexibility. Multiple living and dining spaces invite both quiet evenings and unhurried gatherings. Three bedrooms and three baths are complemented by a generous recreation room, a versatile flex space, a wet bar, and an oversized laundry room—allowing the home to adapt seamlessly to multigenerational living, entertaining, or retreat-style use. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is warm and functional, featuring solid wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar designed for everyday connection. Wood floors and porcelain tile ground the interiors in natural texture, while the oversized four-car garage provides space for 5 vehicles, storage, or future customization. Outdoors, the land is fully fenced and pasture-ready, thoughtfully equipped for a working farm or self-sustaining lifestyle. Grazing areas, a chicken coop, a lean-to with cow headgate, and mature shade trees are already in place, while a swim spa offers a quiet space to unwind at day’s end. The property’s infrastructure is as intentional as its setting: a high-capacity well, extensive electrical system with whole-house generator, tankless water heating, irrigation, and fiber-optic internet ensure modern reliability without compromising the serenity of the landscape. Essential farm equipment conveys with the property, allowing for immediate use and stewardship. This is a rare balance of privacy, capability, and calm—where open land meets enduring construction, and where rural freedom exists within comfortable reach of Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, and the Gulf Coast.
