35005 Clay Gully Road, Myakka City, FL

Experience the very best of Old Florida living on this exceptional 15-acre ranch in the heart of Myakka City. Perfectly positioned along a quiet stretch of Clay Gully Road, this private retreat sits directly across from the 4,500-acre Blackbeard Ranch (a protected conservation property that will never be developed) ensuring forever views and unparalleled tranquility. This property is surrounded by the natural beauty of rural Manatee County and just moments from Myakka River State Park. Evenings here are unforgettable: breathtaking sunsets, wide-open skies, an eastern horizon golden glow. Nature abounds right outside your front door with expansive pastures and ponds that invite native birds and wildlife seeking refuge and retreat. The Seller will consider the option of subdividing the property if a Buyer desires to only purchase the back 10 acres with home. A gated entrance welcomes you home, where Clay Gully gently meanders across the front of the property, creating a natural buffer and a sense of secluded privacy for the homesite. The drive leads you past lush, open pasture dotted with tranquil ponds before arriving at a meticulously maintained residence that is truly move-in ready. The home reflects exceptional pride of ownership, with thoughtful upgrades throughout. The exterior has been freshly painted, and the home and both outbuildings feature newer roofs (2022), along with updated well equipment (2023). One of the ranch’s most impressive features is a top-of-the-line, ground-mounted, 20.8 kW SolarEdge power system. Paired with three LG battery backups, the system offers remarkable off-grid capability and peace of mind during any storm or circumstance. The property is high and dry, providing additional confidence and security no matter the weather. Inside the spacious 2,437 sq. ft. home, comfort meets function. A cozy wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space, while mini-split AC units in the living room and primary bedroom offer enhanced climate control
