Welcome to your private Florida farmstead — a rare 12-acre registered farm located adjacent to a protected 1,500-acre preserve, offering unmatched privacy, natural beauty, and a lifestyle surrounded by wildlife and open skies. A long shell driveway framed by mature oaks, open pastureland, and two peaceful ponds creates a striking sense of arrival, setting the tone for a property designed for luxury living, agricultural capability, and wide-open freedom. Built with superior insulated block construction and upgraded with Pella Extra Energy-Efficient windows, this 3,767 sq. ft. custom home provides exceptional strength, durability, and remarkably low utility costs averaging under $150 monthly. Inside, the home features 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, a spacious recreation room, flex room, oversized laundry room, wet bar, and multiple living and dining areas ideal for entertaining or multigenerational living. The kitchen offers solid wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar, and a range that can be configured for either gas or electric cooking with proper venting. Interior finishes include wood flooring, porcelain tile, and an oversized 4-car garage that can accommodate up to 5 vehicles. Outdoors, the property is fully fenced and pasture-ready with grazing areas, mature shade trees, a chicken coop, a lean-to with cow headgate, and a relaxing swim spa. As a turn-key working farm, the sale includes essential equipment such as a tractor, bush hog, plow, post hole digger, lawn tractor, and cow trailer. The property’s infrastructure is exceptional: a 3 HP well delivering approximately 50 gallons a minute with four pressure tanks, a 400-amp electrical system consisting of two 200-amp panels with outlets and lights on separate circuits, a whole-house 400-amp Generac generator, a tankless hot water heater, an irrigation system, and fiber-optic internet. This rare offering provides the perfect blend of privacy, superior construction, and lifestyle freedom—just a short drive to Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, and Gulf Coast beaches.
