Description
Offered to the market for the very first time, this beloved 10-acre homestead presents a rare opportunity to experience authentic Old Florida living in the heart of Old Myakka. Nestled off Clay Gully Road, this cherished property has been enjoyed for generations and offers an exceptional combination of privacy, natural beauty, and endless possibilities. One of the property’s most remarkable features is its shared boundary with Blackbeard Ranch, a sprawling 4,500-acre working cattle ranch, approximately 1,500 acres of which are protected by a permanent conservation easement, helping preserve the agricultural heritage and pristine rural character of the surrounding landscape. Located just minutes from TerraNova Equestrian Center, a world-class equestrian training and competition facility, this property is ideally suited for a private equestrian retreat. With no HOA or deed restrictions, there is tremendous flexibility to create custom barns, workshops, additional outbuildings, or secondary residences, subject to county requirements. An asphalt driveway welcomes you onto the fully fenced property, where magnificent mature oak trees frame expansive open pastures. The charming three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath block construction home features a newer roof (2021), freshly painted exterior, new impact-rated front door, and impact windows installed in 2020. The HVAC system was replaced only 5 years ago. Inside, the home showcases timeless Florida ranch-style character with rich wood-paneled ceilings in the main living room, exposed beams, and a stately stone fireplace anchoring the open-concept living room. A large picture window overlooks the peaceful pastures, while the elevated formal dining area and inviting kitchen with counter seating provide wonderful spaces for gathering and entertaining. An adjoining bonus space off of the kitchen offers potential for a future kitchen expansion. A spacious 20’ x 16’ bonus room provides exceptional versatility as a media room, home
