Description

Private compound ~ almost 4000 SF of living area! House & Guest House on 5 acres. Not in flood zone ! Serene oasis tucked at the end of a quiet country lane. 5000 SF outbuilding with successful Pet Resort business, perfect for home-based businesses. The charming, established neighborhood is conveniently located to beautiful beaches and vibrant downtown city life. It is also very HORSE FRIENDLY! The main house (3 Bed/2.1 Bath) & guest house (2 Bed/1.1 Bath) are updated. Buildings have new/newer roofs & windows! Feels far away, yet so close to Siesta Key beaches, downtown Sarasota and SRQ airport. Tons of updates throughout the property. The main house features a modern kitchen and bath updates with a new roof in 2023. The open floor plan and soaring ceilings perfectly frame the lovely views of the L-shaped pond. Thoughtfully designed, this home offers ample storage with a large pantry and separate laundry room with half bath. The large decks provide expansive views of the pond and garden area. The guesthouse, situated well away from the main home, was nicely renovated in 2020. The two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath cottage with vaulted ceiling and open floor plan feels and lives much larger than its 1,500 square feet. The living room sliders opening to a walled patio/garden space create a private, serene retreat. The freestanding kennel building, measuring about 5,000 square feet, includes reception and grooming areas, plus a half bath. The kennel includes 30 dog runs, nine cat rooms and three isolation areas for flexible accommodations. The proximity to population centers and easy highway access offers so much potential for pet boarding, doggie daycare, professional dog trainers or show handlers. This well-maintained property is truly an unexpected find and a rare opportunity that blends privacy and convenience.
