An incredible opportunity awaits in Myakka Valley Ranches! A change of plans for the sellers means you now have the chance to own nearly 8 acres of natural beauty, complete with grand oaks, a tranquil pond, and endless potential to build your dream lifestyle. The existing main residence offers 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, over 2,400 sq ft of living space, a spacious laundry room, screened pool area, and a 2-car garage. While it is in need of a full remodel, the sellers are including ready-to-go plans for a stunning 4,500 sq ft custom home, with all engineering already completed—saving you time and effort in the design process. The 1-bedroom guest house on site may be a candidate for remodeling, but most will find it’s best suited for a full rebuild. Not to worry—plans for a brand-new 1,600 sq ft guest home are also available, giving you a clear vision and a major head start on bringing your ideas to life. The barn has been professionally rebuilt, making it a solid asset for animals, hobbies, or storage. Out back, you’ll find a peaceful pond, fenced pasture, and even a greenhouse ready for your gardening adventures. This special property also offers access to private, deeded horse and hiking trails that meander throughout the 2,500-acre Myakka Valley Ranches community. Here, each home sits on at least 5 acres, offering space, peace, and privacy like nowhere else in Sarasota County. Located in an A-rated school district, just 20 minutes from shopping and dining, and 40 minutes from downtown Sarasota and Siesta Key Beach, this home blends country charm with convenient access to everything you need. Nature lovers will appreciate being next to Myakka River State Park with 37,000 acres of outdoor adventure. Fiber optic internet is available for those working or learning from home. Whether you’re looking to renovate, rebuild, or start fresh, 5760 Howard Creek offers unmatched potential in one of Sarasota’s most desirable rural communities. Come walk the land and envision the future—it’s ready when you are.
