Located in Manatee County Horse country, Established Riding Center FOR SALE, located on almost 40 acres right on State Road 70 in the extremely popular Myakka City. Just a short commute from Sarasota, Bradenton & Lakewood Ranch is this ranch that is a turn-key established equine facility currently famous for being home to Prospect Riding Center. The opportunities and possibilities are endless. This property has everything! First there is cozy and comfortable remodeled 3 bedroom 2 bath block home with a NEW ROOF and POOL. With over 2000 square feet of living space the home has a large, fairly new kitchen with lots of storage. A convenient split floor plan offers privacy to a large owners suite that has a walk-in closet the size of a small bedroom, a well designed bathroom AND a bonus room. The living room is anchored by a large brick gas fireplace. The farm house has lots of storage, a large inside laundry, utility and "mud room" PLUS tranquil outdoor living spaces perfect for personal quiet time or entertaining. Pool area is private & has a nice covered porch/sitting area. Grilling and cooking out back by the pool is even better if the brick oven grill on the back of the fireplace is used. All of this outdoor space is enclosed in a pool screen enclosure so insects are not in the way of having a nice time. This is an established, first class equine facility currently being used for therapeutic riding & students. The heart of the property is a GREAT center isle barn with spacious stalls. It is a must see. Tack rooms, feed rooms, run-in stalls, cross ties... the barn has it all!! Property is fenced & cross fenced. Paddocks, & more paddocks everywhere... property has been thoughtfully, carefully laid out & improved to accommodate any equine enthusiast of any discipline. Too many run-in shelters to mention. Several arenas and lesson paddocks. Covered spaces of exceptional construction are in place for spectators, friends & family to watch lessons. Also on the property there are several trails that have been designed, groomed and maintained for riders of all experience levels, including some equine obstacle courses and courses for riders with special needs. Lots of riding lessons happen here on this magical land. This property hosts camps, volunteer opportunities and has even accommodated persons on retreats and been the venue for a large wedding. There is a big pond that does not go dry. Down by the pond (which is also well maintained) is a recreational area complete with a firepit, log seating, a grill space and picnic area where parties and entertaining events go on. The ranch also houses a complete cattle operation. Cattle could easily have access to the barns if need be. Pens, gates, lanes, chute and head catch gate are all in place and make working cows a breeze. Improved and fertilized pastures. This place is full of good grass and lots of shade. Wooded areas in the back are full of natural old Florida beauty. Explore the land by horse back, ATV or by hiking. A fancy chicken coop is on the property and this property would be a dream come true for someone with a green thumb or who is wanting to raise their own fruits and vegetables for sustainable living. Giant metal equipment barn/shed is currently used for storage and equipment... bring the tractors and farm equipment boats, toys, RV's classic cars, HUGE workshop. NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE! Too much to mention. Get out here for dark nights and beautiful sunsets.
