One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. SELLER MOTIVATED! 5.4 ACRES! 4 BEDROOM +DEN/3 BATH HOME WITH DESIGNER POOL! Beautiful home nestled next to preserve! Rarely available 5.4 acre property. This 4 bed + den, 3 bath, 2 car garage home is an ideal family home for those who wish to have an abundance of space for privacy and outdoor activities.....and bring the toys...there is plenty of room for boats, RVs, trailers and the like. Fabulous layout with all the right spaces(has 2 bedroom suites on opposite sides of the home) The screened pool area is HUGE featuring spa, fountain, waterfall, brick pavers, a covered lanai and natural looking faux rock formations (accents and even a cool pool slide!)making for an amazing backyard oasis perfect for relaxing and entertaining. Inside, cathedral or tray ceilings can be found throughout the home. The kitchen is highlighted by beautiful quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar seating, and great flow to the family room & dining areas. The spacious master bedroom has direct access to the lanai, a walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom. The master bath features double sinks, tub, separate water closet, and walk-in shower. The home backs up to Sleeping Turtles Preserve, a Myakka River Protection Zone that will never be developed. A bit of local trivia....The name "Sleeping Turtles" comes from descriptions on naval maps from the 1800s of the Myakka River. The property is less than 5 miles from the new Sarasota Memorial Hospital Venice branch. Additionally, the property is within 15 minutes of Gulf beaches, Historic Downtown Venice, restaurants, schools, shopping, golf courses, trails, and MUCH MORE!
