Nestled in the heart of Panther Ridge, Lakewood Ranch’s premiere equestrian community, a post card perfect country home & barn is ready & waiting for you. Over 9 acres of pasture is here (NO WETLANDS), the entire property is fenced and cross fenced and the horses can graze while you relax and fish off of your very own dock. The home features five bedrooms (The Owner’s Suite as well as two other bedrooms are located downstairs and 2 bedrooms are upstairs), 3 ½ bathrooms, a great room, sitting room, formal dining room and impeccably updated kitchen. The entire family will be delighted with the sparkling blue pool w/sun deck and waterfall and the dogs will love the puppy door on the lanai that leads to a fully fenced in back yard. There is also a 3 plus side load garage and excellent parking- plenty of room for your cars, boats, RV and horse trailer. The barn has two over-sized tack and feed rooms, 3 roomy stalls and a wash rack as well as a loafing shed in the main pasture. Panther Ridge boasts 15 miles of hiking & equestrian trails & although you feel like you are in the middle of the country, the reality is you are close to everything including excellent schools, fine dining & the new UTC Mall. Right across the street is golfing at its best at The Concession Golf & CC and next door is the Lakewood Ranch Sports Complex.
