7049 Myakka Valley Trail Sarasota, FL 34241

This is your chance to own one of the most remarkable homes in Myakka Valley Ranches:
Situated on 5 1/2 acres, the ca. 4,900 SF building has a wow factor, most obvious of which is
the completely renovated 32 X 16 indoor pool set inside a 1,700 SF space! The rest of the
house includes four bedrooms (2 master suites), 3 1/2 bathrooms, a spacious living room
with a bay window, a family room with a fireplace, and a large, light and bright studio (or 4th
bedroom) with a big fireplace that looks out over the pool and the front lawn. The kitchen
features beautiful granite counters, wooden cabinets, S/S appliances (gas stove), and is
conveniently located next to the pool, living room, and dining room. Outside, behind the
French doors of the pool room, is an almost 1,000 SF screened deck. A 1,440 SF utility
building/garage/barn with 3 overhead doors is integrated with a chain link fence that
encloses about 1/2 acre on the north side of the lot. This would make a great area for a
vegetable garden, or a pen for small animals. The house offers a lot of privacy, since it sits
far from the road, and only one neighbor is visible from the lot. An interesting architectural
detail is provided by the brick arches around the doors and hallways that lead to the pool
and two bedrooms. Other features include a whole-house Kohler generator (2023) with a
1000-gallon in-ground propane tank. The pool can be heated with solar panels, and a heat
pump. The property is less than a mile from State Road 72, and the local fire station, from
where it is less than 30 minutes to reach the beautiful beaches of Siesta Key, or Downtown
Sarasota with its many fine restaurants, concert venues, museums, all kinds of cultural
happenings. Great public and private schools are not far away (the Out-Of-Door Academy,
opened a new campus, just west of the “Valley” for pre-K-5 ). Myakka Valley
Ranches is a wonderful equestrian-friendly community with saddle trails and lots of at least
5 acres. The home is located in Unit 1 of the subdivision, which is no longer subject to its
governing documents. Use restrictions are dictated by Sarasota County’s zoning regulations
for OUE1 (Open Use Estate, one main residence every 5 acres). This designation does allow for
some light commercial use, incidental to the property. Please, check with the zoning
authorities to make sure that if you want to conduct a business, its nature will be
compatible with the local zoning regulations. Finally, for those who love nature: the
entrance to Myakka River State Park, Florida’s biggest state park, is only 1.5 miles from the
entrance to the subdivision. This park is a great place to hike, bike, kayak, or ride your horse.
Bring your binoculars, and enjoy observing all the interesting critters that live in these
37,000 acres. Welcome to Myakka Valley Ranches, Sarasota’s last frontier!
