NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE! Have you been looking for a multi-generational estate that offers two homes, five acres of exotic trees and plants, and zoned "OPEN USE" meaning the opportunities are endless for creating your dream property/business here - & don't forget, NOT in a flood zone. To say this property is one-of a kind is an understatement. If you want an oasis to escape to where you can spend months not seeing anyone besides your Amazon delivery man and be perfectly content amongst nature- this is it. & If on the rare chance you'd like to branch out and see people or the beach you are 2.5 miles to Venice Beach, 6 miles to downtown Venice, 1 mile to restaurants and shopping, 2 miles to highway I-75, 30 miles to Sarasota Airport, and 30 minutes to Punta Gorda Airport. This exceptional pool home offers a unique opportunity for families or investors seeking ample space and modern conveniences - with an entire SECOND home on the land. You’ll find privacy among the mature trees and rare plants throughout the entire property. The primary pool home was custom-built in 2007 (original house plans can be provided) and offers 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a three-car garage spanning 2,893 square feet under air, providing plenty of comfortable living space. Walking in, you're welcomed by the spacious foyer open to pocketing sliding doors that overlook the expansive paver lanai, an over-sized solar-heated pool, and a serene waterfall. Your open kitchen features solid wood cabinets, newer appliances, bar seating along the granite countertops, and a breakfast nook with an aquarium-like window view to the pool. Tray and coffered ceilings in several rooms infuse luxurious energy throughout. The beautiful custom-built fireplace in your family room will keep you warm the one week of the year you'll need it, and its graceful ambiance will glow all year. One wing of the primary home could be an in-law suite with bathroom, walk-in shower and bidet. Attached to the bathroom and bedroom is a second bedroom, den, or perhaps a living room, with sliders to the pool deck. The second home offers three bedrooms, two renovated bathrooms, a garage, and 1,752 square feet under air. With terrazzo flooring throughout, it can be a rental property, an in-law or offspring home, or a guest house -- the possibilities are endless here. Outdoors you’ll find a well-manicured oasis with mature landscaping -- a serene setting for outdoor activities and the potential for a nursery business. The two greenhouses span 8,640 square feet of a wonderful growing environment along with a 4,800-square-foot shade house. With a 5,000-gallon reverse osmosis water filtration system just for the greenhouses, you’ll have everything you need to grow anything you please. Throughout the five acres are trails where you’ll walk or golf cart amongst thousands of permanent rare plants from all over the world - a true botanist's dream. Hardee Drive is in a highly desirable area of Venice, conveniently situated near shopping and dining in downtown Venice, as well as nature parks, golf, and quick access to I-75. The beaches of Venice and Nokomis are just a few miles away, offering endless opportunities for outdoor recreation and relaxation. This is the one with infinite possibilities that you've been waiting for.
