5 PRIVATE ACRES. A GATED RIVERFRONT COMMUNITY. A LIFESTYLE THAT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND! Welcome to 710 N River Road, where privacy, space, and the beauty of Old Florida come together in one extraordinary property. Nestled on 5 private acres in Myakka River Trails—Sarasota County's only waterfront community on the Myakka River—this custom Key West–style retreat offers a rare opportunity to enjoy acreage living with access to exceptional waterfront amenities. Offered TURNKEY, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with office, private pool, and versatile 24x24 detached outbuilding is a property you won't want to overlook. A welcoming wraparound porch sets the tone, while inside, soaring ceilings, a functional cupola, solid interior doors, expansive windows, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling locally sourced limestone fireplace create a warm yet impressive living space. Twelve-foot pocketing sliders open the great room to the screened lanai and pool, capturing tranquil preserve views and effortless indoor-outdoor living. The recently updated kitchen features quartz countertops, a matte black marble backsplash, new sink and faucet, and updated electrical finishes. Additional improvements include a new HVAC unit, new whole-house water pump and pressure tank, new pool pump and heat pump, updated lighting and ceiling fans, and new Kohler toilets. The roof has been meticulously maintained, with all fasteners tightened or replaced where needed and vents resealed in 2026. A new exterior garage access door adds another thoughtful improvement. The detached 24x24 outbuilding is a tremendous bonus, featuring new drywall, insulation, attic vents, and a mini-split HVAC system—ideal for a studio, gym, home office, hobby space, guest retreat, or additional storage. Enjoy an extraordinary community lifestyle with a private boat ramp providing direct Myakka River access, fishing pier, clubhouse, pool and hot tub, tennis courts, playground, pavilion, and miles of walking and bridle trails. HOA fees include basic cable, internet with DIRECTV Stream, common area maintenance, and reserve funding. Zoned OUE! Conveniently located near Wellen Park, CoolToday Park, downtown Venice, Gulf beaches, and I-75, this is a rare opportunity to own acreage, enjoy exceptional amenities, and experience a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. TURNKEY, thoughtfully improved, and ready to enjoy—don't miss your opportunity to make this exceptional Myakka River retreat yours!
