Property Description

Nestled in the tranquil heart of Myakka City’s countryside, this breathtaking Florida Cracker masterpiece, built in June 2020, is an over-engineered fortress of timeless elegance and unmatched hurricane resilience. Set on 10 pristine, wetland-free acres, this private sanctuary is framed by majestic oak trees and three-board fencing, tucked far from the road for serene seclusion. A shimmering pond stocked with vibrant blue tilapia enhances the idyllic landscape, beckoning equestrian enthusiasts, cattle ranchers, or those yearning for a life woven with nature’s beauty. Crafted to defy Florida’s fiercest storms, this home is a paragon of sturdiness, boasting a durable metal roof, Miami-Dade certified Low-E windows and doors, and Charleston-style hurricane shutters. Over-engineered with 54 robust footers, it stands resolute in Zone X, the premier flood zone, requiring no flood insurance—a rare gift of peace of mind. A propane tank powers a tankless hot water heater and KitchenAid gas range, ensuring uninterrupted comfort even in the worst conditions. A wrap-around porch encircles the front, sides, and back, inviting you to savor sunrises or sunsets under towering oaks. The estate’s fencing and cross-fencing make it ideal for horses or livestock, complemented by an expansive barn with a storm-ready metal roof, offering vast storage, several stalls for equestrian or farming needs, and an attached dog kennel for pet-friendly convenience. A detached one-car garage/workshop adds versatile functionality for projects or storage. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings create grandeur in the open-concept great room, kitchen, and dining area, floored with state-of-the-art, high-durability bamboo built for heavy traffic yet radiating warm, natural elegance. The gourmet kitchen shines with white shaker-style cupboards, soft-close hinges, quartz countertops, a butcher block island, and the propane-powered KitchenAid gas range for precision cooking. The seamless flow between spaces fosters effortless entertaining, with every detail reflecting the warmth of Florida Cracker architecture, enhanced by modern construction from 2020. The primary suite is a luxurious haven, with a spa-inspired bathroom featuring a large walk-in shower, while the guest bathroom exudes vintage charm with an original 1920s claw-foot tub. Modern comforts abound, from the tankless propane-powered hot water heater ensuring endless hot water to the energy-efficient design of the Miami-Dade Low-E windows and shutters. The property is a lifestyle triumph, perfect for tending livestock in the fenced pastures, fishing in the stocked pond, or crafting in the barn’s spacious workshop and stalls. Whether dreaming of a gentleman’s farm, an equestrian paradise, or a private retreat, this estate delivers with unyielding strength and grace. In Zone X, with no wetlands and 10 acres of usable land, this over-engineered sanctuary is a legacy of Florida’s heritage, blending hurricane-ready fortitude with countryside charm.
