SOLD! BUT I HAVE MORE!!! Great buy in Myakka Valley Ranches! Well-maintained pool home with four bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths on 8 beautiful, very private acres at the end of a quiet street. Home has new carpet, new appliances, newer roof, new pool cage screens, paint, you name it. The almost 2400 sq. ft. home has ceramic tile throughout the first floor, a big laundry room, and an extra room next to the big kitchen. All four bedrooms are upstairs and have great views of the wooded lot. A big 2-car garage is connected to the house by means of a boardwalk. Although the lot is wooded, there is enough pasture to keep a couple of horses. An existing shed could easily be transformed into shelter for your animals. The property backs up to a conservation area, and is very private and quiet. You will see deer, turkeys, bald eagles and all kinds of other interesting critters. Myakka Valley Ranches is a great subdivision where it is easy to make new friends. There is a horse club, a book club, and a women's forum. Good private and public schools are all within a very reasonable distance (the school buses come in the subdivision); it is 15 minutes to Publix, and 30 to Downtown, or the white beaches of Siesta Key. The entrance to Myakka River State Park (27,000 acres) is only 1.7 miles down SR 72!
