STORM READY ESTATE ON 10 ACRES! Nestled in the tranquil heart of Myakka City's countryside, this breathtaking Florida Cracker masterpiece, built in 2020, is an well engineered estate of timeless elegance and sturdy storm resilience. Set on 10 pristine acres, this private sanctuary is framed by majestic oak trees, tucked far from the road for serene seclusion.

The gourmet kitchen shines with white shaker-style cupboards, soft-close hinges, quartz countertops, a butcher block island, and 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 a 1920s style claw-foot tub. Modern comforts abound, from the tankless hot water heater to the energy-efficient design of the windows and shutters. The property is a lifestyle triumph, perfect for tending livestock in the fenced pastures, fishing in the pond, or crafting in the barn's spacious workshop and stalls. Whether dreaming of a farm, an equestrian paradise, or a private retreat, this estate delivers with unyielding strength and grace. This sanctuary is a legacy of Florida's heritage, blending storm-ready fortitude with countryside charm. A true haven where luxury meets common sense. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!
