Description for 1552 Palm View Road, Sarasota, FL, 34240

Welcome to Oak Ford Ranch! Nestled in the heart of Southwest Florida, this sprawling ranch offers a rare opportunity to own a pristine piece of paradise. Situated on 491 +/- acres, this property is a true gem, combining the best of natural beauty, privacy, and coastal luxury. What was once a 27 hole golf course has now become a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a substantial piece of ground in one of the most beautiful places in the country. Consisting of 5 continuous tracts, this property is ideally situated in a prime location, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, making it an ideal retreat or an exceptional investment. Getting to the ranch is a breeze with Sarasota/Bradenton airport less than 20 miles. If you would rather arrive by car, Tampa and Ft Myers are just over an hour, and Miami is 3 hours. If you need to reach your own private oasis faster, there is always the possibility of putting in your own runway with a property of this size. The location of Oak Ford Ranch puts you right in the heart of some of the best beaches in the United States. Siesta Key, Anna Maria Island, and Longboat, are all just a short drive from the main gate. Imagine spending your days riding horses on your private ranch and your evenings watching the sunset on powdery sand. Once you step foot on Oak Ford Ranch the outdoor activities it provides seem endless. With miles of trails and cleared paths already in place you could ride horses, UTV’s, or hike all day long. There are several private lakes on the property that could provide countless hours of fishing, duck hunting, and kayaking. The newly constructed cabin overlooking your own private lake provides a peaceful setting to watch the sunset after an exciting day at Disney World, which is only an hour and a half away. Sarasota County is home to a diverse range of wildlife. On your ranch, you might see everything from deer, turkey, and wild hogs, to a variety of bird species. The peace of having this kind of nature at your doorstep could be one of the most enjoyable aspects of ranch ownership. If you need a place to sight in your rifle before the evening hunt then just stop by your own private shooting range. There are several targets out to 600 yards for even the most discriminating shooter. Included on the range is a spot for pistol shooters to sharpen their accuracy as well. The subtropical climate means warm summers, and mild winters which is perfect for anyone seeking a ranching or farming lifestyle. Most of the property is already fenced and cross fenced awaiting your cows or horses. Having this many acres leaves plenty of room to cultivate crops, and the Florida climate would support a wide variety of agricultural pursuits. The already constructed metal building provides a secure space for all your farming, boating, and recreational toys. There is an air condition office inside the building for when you need to work remotely. With such a large tract of land, there could also be long-term investment potential. Sarasota County is a growing area, with more relocating to Florida every year. The proximity to several attractions, coupled with the area's strong real estate market, could make this land a prime candidate for investors, a luxury ranch, or a private estate. *Please note that the 15 +/- acres and the clubhouse (in red on the map) are not included with this listing but may be available for a separate purchase.
