Three bed, two bath, split plan home in Mission Valley Estates. This well-built ranch house sits on over an acre of land with no deed restrictions. Bring the boat or RV because there will be plenty of room for both. These properties are also zoned for horses and other animals adding to the possibilities. This maintains a rural feel when you are just minutes to some of Sarasota County’s most significant amenities. The current owners feel as if they live next to a bird sanctuary and enjoy photographing the many species which come to visit. There is also a lake providing more natural views and an opportunity to kayak & fish right from your own yard. Inside, you’ll find a great room and open plan. The updated kitchen has quartz counters, an island for prep and casual dining, stainless appliances and natural wood, shaker style cabinets. This is all overlooking the adjacent dining room and “sunken” great room with beamed ceilings. Large gatherings can spill out on to the rear, screened in porch with views of the water and backyard. The principal bedroom, with an en-suite bath, also opens to the rear porch kept cool by multiple ceiling fans. On the other side of the house, you’ll find two traditional bedrooms sharing a bath. The split plan creates degrees of separation and one of these bedrooms has been a quiet, home office for many years. There is a spacious, two car garage and plenty of surface parking with a long, circular driveway. Out back, you’ll find this “gardener’s paradise” with a rainwater collection system, raised beds and micro-irrigation, a chicken coop (currently unused) and a large storage shed. A sprawling oak tree shades the area where you may sit to watch the sunset over the lake. Mission Valley Estates, while retaining a rural feel is just minutes from shopping, the new Sarasota Memorial Hospital-Venice Campus and I75. Nearby recreational amenities include the paved, multi-use Legacy Trail, Nokomis Beach, boat ramps into the Intercoastal Waterway and Oscar Scherer State Park.
