About This Home

As of February 2025

Presenting a stunning 5-acre estate, ideally located just 8 miles East from the intersection of I-75 and Fruitville Road, in the heart of Sarasota, Florida. This exceptional property is sure to impress even the most discerning buyers, offering an impeccable combination of expansive open spaces, enhanced safety features, and luxurious amenities, all within a serene and peaceful setting.

The estate is accessed via a grand, tree-lined driveway leading to the estate's entrance. Inside, you will find two master suites, a generously-sized third bedroom, and an additional bathroom. The expansive open living area flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, with a morning room offering picturesque views of the pool area. Recent updates include a freshly painted interior and exterior, a renovated kitchen, and brand-new, low-maintenance Luxury Vinyl flooring—just a few of the recent enhancements made within the past six months.

Additional improvements include the transformation of a large garage into a versatile 440-square-foot flex space, along with the construction of a new 1,600-square-foot detached garage and workshop, featuring three bays and a hydraulic lift—a true haven for automotive enthusiasts.

For outdoor lovers and entertainers, this property is an entertainer’s dream. Enjoy the custom-built stainless steel smoker, pizza oven, and 10-foot granite dining table, perfect for alfresco dining. The estate features a massive heated swimming pool, a versatile flex court for tennis, basketball, or pickleball, and a spacious open field. "The Woods" area offers endless possibilities, including the potential for a zip line, three houses, and a camping area. Additional outdoor amenities include a stocked pond, beautifully landscaped gardens, and a dedicated dog run.

For added security and peace of mind, the estate is equipped with hurricane-impact windows and sliders, all of which were thoroughly tested during the last three hurricanes, providing exceptional protection. The property also features a full set of metal shutters and Kevlar screens for the outdoor lanai, ensuring the highest level of safety.

The home is energy-efficient, thanks to a comprehensive array of solar panels that significantly reduce electricity costs, along with a whole-house backup generator connected to the main electrical panel with the necessary transfer switch, ensuring reliable power during outages. A whole-house water filtration system, paired with the well, guarantees an endless supply of clean, drinkable water, while the irrigation system ensures lush greenery throughout the year.

This extraordinary estate offers a unique blend of luxury, comfort, and safety, making it a truly unparalleled property.
