Discover a rare 5-acre estate opportunity in the sought-after Oak Ford community -- a quiet, nature-filled escape that still keeps you within easy reach of Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, UTC, and the Gulf Coast beaches. Properties of this size and setting are few and far between, and this one offers a unique advantage. The land itself is truly the star -- five beautiful acres with the perfect blend of cleared, usable space, a large pond and natural wooded privacy. Whether you envision pastures, gardens, recreation space, a workshop, or simply more elbow room, this lot provides the freedom and flexibility to create your ideal Florida lifestyle.Oak Ford has become one of Sarasota's best-kept secrets: winding roads, sprawling estate lots, mature trees, wildlife, and a peaceful rural feel, all without sacrificing convenience. You're close enough to enjoy daily access to Sarasota's top dining, shopping, and beaches, yet far enough removed to feel a world away from the hustle of city life.This is an exceptional chance to secure acreage in a beloved community -- with the added bonus of existing infrastructure, utilities in place, and a structure that may be salvageable depending on your vision. Whether you choose to renovate or rebuild, the value here is in the land, the location, and the lifestyle. Bring your imagination, your builder, and your plans. Opportunities like this do not come around often. (Buyers may walk the property, but not enter or walk on any portion of the existing home, pool deck, porch or other structure without signing a property showing release.) The lower level of the existing home is structurally unsafe.
