Play. Lounge. Live Free. A One-of-a-Kind Sarasota Retreat
Tennis in the morning, Poolside afternoons! A cabana to call your office—or your hideaway. Set on 2.23 lush acres in the heart of Desoto Acres, this estate doesn’t just offer space—it offers a lifestyle.
Welcome to a world where Old Florida charm meets modern freedom: no HOA, no CDD, no deed restrictions. Bring your horses, park the RV, store the boat—there’s room for it all and more.
Inside, the main home is warm and inviting with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and over 2,500 square feet of sunlit, open-concept living. Step outside and you’ll find a resort-style pool, outdoor fireplace, kitchen, and expansive paver deck perfect for entertaining, lounging, or simply soaking in the serenity.
Serve up a match on your own private tennis court, then rinse off in the outdoor shower and retreat to the poolside cabana—an ideal flex space for a home office, creative studio, or peaceful getaway.
The separate Tennis Cottage is a beautifully finished 672-square-foot guest house complete with a full kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, a modern bathroom, and a brand-new septic system. It’s perfect for extended family, visiting friends, or anyone who appreciates a little extra privacy.
The home has also been thoughtfully upgraded with a brand-new roof and solar panels, delivering energy efficiency and long-term value.
Set in one of Sarasota’s most iconic neighborhoods, just minutes to downtown, UTC, beaches, and cultural attractions—this unique property offers unmatched privacy, versatility, and room to thrive.
