Big home with attached guest house in Myakka Valley Ranches. The main house has 3 bedrooms and 4 baths; the guest house has 3 bedrooms, a den, a laundry room, and a bathroom. Great for a group home, a home-based business, or a big family. The main house is built around a 25X27 covered lanai with a wet bar and a fireplace; there is a big, caged swimming pool. The home is surrounded by huge, beautiful oaks, and has a big pond, and plenty of good pasture for your horses. A separate 2-story, 4-car garage has a big deck with a beautiful view of the property and an unfinished apartment on the second floor. This is a very dramatic property, that will impress you the minute you set foot in it. Myakka Valley Ranches is a great 280+ family community with more saddle trails than any other subdivision in the area. There is a very active saddle club, and a book club. Myakka River State Park, Florida's biggest state park, borders the subdivision. There are good schools, shops, and restaurants in the area. Downtown and the white beaches of Siesta Key are only 30 minutes away.
