REDUCED AGAIN; VERY MOTIVATED SELLERS! This is one of the last vacant lots in Saddle Oak estates, an exclusive, gated community east of the I-75. The subdivision was carefully planned around 2000 to minimize the impact on the beautiful natural areas that exist within its boundaries. Each lot came with a survey, indicating the exact location of environmentally sensitive lands. The results show that when you work with nature, rather than against it, the rewards are substantial. Some homes in Saddle Oak are surrounded by old Florida growth, while others are suited for equestrian purposes. Lot 24 is a little over 6 acres. The northern part is grassland, whereas a part of the southern section (ca. 2 acres) functions as a preserve. The location of Saddle Oak Estates is ideal: good schools, shopping, and fine restaurants are all within a 10-15 minute drive; the beach is about 12 miles away, downtown Sarasota is ca. 16 miles, and the entrance to Myakka River State Park, Floridas biggest state park, is only 4 miles to the east. Imagine paddling your kayak on the beautiful lake of the state park in the morning, going back home to ride your horse, and watching a play, or opera in Downtown Sarasota at night. In Saddle Oak, you have nature and culture within easy reach; it does not get better!
