This amazing homestead must be experienced as pictures just can't capture its beauty! Nestled within the acreage of Oak Ford, where majestic oaks grace every pathway, sits a magnificent property. The home is an entertainer's dream! The welcoming entranceway opens to a stupendous great room with 12ft ceilings and expansive windows providing a panoramic view of the lush gardens. To the left of the conversation area is the doorway to the fully equipped kitchen, adjacent to the family room. The kitchen boasts solid wood cabinetry with soft close drawers, granite countertops with breakfast bar seating, stainless appliances and a brand new cooktop. The focal point of the family room is a sunburst tile, wood-burning fireplace, warming dining table seating for eight and casual sofa seating for playing board games or watching TV. Should you step to the right when traversing the great room, you find the primary bedroom, two oversized guest rooms, plus a dedicated home office/den. The horseshoe configuration of the house offers wonderful views of the pool area, accessible through multiple sliders in the family room, great room and primary bedroom. The screen-enclosed outdoor space allows for covered seating as well as full sun spots, whichever you and your guests would prefer. Beyond the lanai is a fenced yard perfect for pets. Pass through the gate, cross the grassy expanse to boat and fish on the pond that forms the border of the property! To the right is a second, smaller pond that is deeded to this parcel. This home has been lovingly maintained and enjoyed to the fullest, hosting numerous weddings, picnics and parties. Pocket doors provide privacy for sleeping areas should someone prefer to retire early. A sprinkler system keeps the greenery fresh and vendors are in place to professionally maintain the pool and yard. Uniform tile flooring throughout lends to the continuity of the 3676 sq.ft. of air-conditioned space. The property itself sits in Oak Ford Phase 1, zoned OUE (open use estate). You have the potential to add to your paradise! Build a barn to house animals or an expansive garage for your car collection. The Oak Ford Homeowners Association is a nominal expense but does a phenomenal job of maintaining the common areas and roadways. The home utilizes well and septic, so NO water bill! This slice of country living provides all the advantages of owning acreage while still garnering all that Sarasota County has to offer: A rated schools; world-renowned beaches; fine dining and a full calendar of cultural events. Enjoy it ALL, then escape back to the serenity and peace that only Mother Nature can provide!
