Location: Located in south Manatee County, just east of Myakka State Park off of Clay Gully Road, this deed restricted community is a bright spot in the quiet rural "Old Florida" country. Privacy and quiet surround the area, making it the perfect place to ride horses.

Description: The open floor plan of this 1991 house is great for Florida's lifestyle and weather. During the cooler half of the year, you'll be able to open the doors to the front 25' lanai and the rear 74' lanai, and let the breezes flow through the greatroom -- a great place for a party! With over 1800 square feet of living space, plus a garage large enough for 3 cars and lots of storage or work space, you'll really enjoy the feeling of openness. During the summer, you'll love the 50' lap pool for exercise and just cooling relaxation.

Newer 2-stall barn, all pressure-treated wood with aluminum edging by the stalls. Clay pack floor with rubber stall mats. Concrete walkway, fans, lights, and a water heater, so you have warm water for washing the horses.

The garage has 2 doors and is big enough for 3 cars, a work area, and hay storage, shelves and work benches. Newer fence. The front pasture is by the spring-fed pond, which has a pond hydrant, cleaned annually by the county, for use as a fire hydrant by the fire department.

The property is fully swaled for fast drainage during the rainy season.
