Despite the tranquil setting, you're only 40 minutes from downtown Sarasota’s vibrant arts and cultural scene and 25 minutes to the world-renowned white sands of Siesta Key Beach. Excellent restaurants, shopping, and top-rated public and private schools are all within a 15-minute drive from what locals lovingly call “the Valley.” This is more than a home—it's a lifestyle. Whether you're an equestrian, hobby farmer, nature lover, or simply seeking peace and privacy with convenient access to the best of Sarasota, this exceptional property is not to be missed.
