Hurricane windows, hipped metal roofs, Hardi-board siding, & solid construction make these homes safe havens in a fierce storm. Another guest house could be added. Most of the 15 acres are already fenced, & there is pasture ready for farm animals; or you can leave it open to enjoy the plentiful wildlife. This lot backs to protected land, so it’s private and peaceful; thoughtful land management means that there is little to no standing water after heavy rains. Myakka River State Park wraps around the S & E side of the entire neighborhood. Imagine sitting on your screened back lanai, sipping coffee while the sun rises over the pool and pond! Feed the deer from your front porch while the sun sets over the live oaks. This is old Florida at its finest, ideal for kids to exercise their imaginations & ready for a family that wants to grow some crops & raise some animals.
