Description
Welcome to one of the most majestic properties that Sarasota has to offer. Aside from the 3 bed 2 bath main house and the fully functional guest house, there is a stunning botanical garden that rivals Sarasota's very own Selby Gardens. This spectacular garden has been thoughtfully cultivated for over a decade with 30+ varieties of fruiting trees and plants, and features upgraded smart lighting and smart irrigation. Once you step into this peaceful oasis it’s hard to believe that you're only minutes away from Sarasota’s downtown and beaches, and around the corner from the newly opened Legacy trailhead and park. The main house features two bedrooms in addition to an owner's retreat with an en-suite bath, huge walk-in closet, original brick fireplace, and gigantic garden-view impact windows. Sliding glass doors lead to your infrared sauna and jacuzzi tub inside a large pavered lanai with retractable screen. The kitchen and dining area offer a beautiful vista of your own private pond with water feature, and there are lush garden views from every window in the house. The home has been upgraded to include new roof (2019), new top of the line Softlite impact windows (2021), large separate living room, whole house water softener and filtration, and a reverse osmosis filter. Follow an enchanting garden path past a tranquil stone waterfall fountain to a beautifully appointed cedar guest cottage built in 2016 with it’s own studio, kitchen with reverse osmosis filter, dining area, and large bath with walk-in rainfall shower. The guest cottage features impact windows and impact glass doors, a metal roof, and it’s own wifi network. A huge pavered driveway accommodates all of your cars and toys off-street. For the gardener, there are three oversized sheds wired with electricity. The unbelievable garden is built for serene privacy and is home to many mature fruit trees. A trickling stream dotted with tropical aquatic flowers waterfalls into a huge pond with dock that is home to graceful koi fish. Many of Florida's large wading birds can be seen frequenting the waterfall making this home feel like a private nature preserve - truly it’s own paradise. Be sure to stroll the grounds of this breathtaking property before it’s gone!
