Where can you find a thoroughly modern home nestled on 9+acres with a solar-powered gate, 5 board fencing (no-climb fencing too) and NO WETLANDS? You can find it in the heart of Panther Ridge, a 4500-acre equestrian oriented community located just outside of Lakewood Ranch. The current owners did a complete remodel plus added a new Master Wing, complete with a truly exceptional Spa Bathroom and Den/Flex room. The Master Bedroom is oversized, measuring a roomy 25x12, and the Walk-In-Closet is HUGE. To ensure the Owners stay cool in the summer, this area has its own Carrier AC unit. In the Master Bath, a wall has been built around a stunning all-glass shower, designed so one gets the impression of being outside while still enjoying complete privacy. There is also a modern free-standing tub, travertine flooring, large vanity with double sinks plus a private water closet, making this the ultimate bathroom. Designed to impress, the modern style Kitchen features a large island, impressive top of the line Avon cabinets, Danze plumbing fixtures, a GE Monogram built-in refrigerator, Advantium oven, convection oven plus a Bosch dishwasher. Gorgeous granite countertops and tumbled stone backsplash complete the picture. The Kitchen is completely open to the Family Room, which measures a spacious 20x18. There are two more Bedrooms, an updated Bathroom, Formal Dining Room, Living Room, and a Laundry Room with Kenmore front load washer & dryer. Vaulted ceilings are another special touch, along with the gorgeous tile flooring and brand new interior paint. In 2015, the owners put on a NEW ROOF & SKYLIGHTS, as well as replacing all wood above the block and stucco walls with HardiePlank and HardiePanel siding. For the main home, a Trane variable speed HVAC was installed in 2018 along with a new water filtration system. Open the sliders to the Pool and experience true paradise. The lanai features a tongue and groove wood ceiling (as does the front porch) while the massive pool deck is finished in Travertine and in 2020 a Pentair variable speed pump was added. Lush tropical plants surrounding the pool and deck make this a true oasis. There is a large fully stocked pond on the property, and approximately 5 acres are cleared and would make terrific pastures for your horses. The additional acreage is wooded but can be cleared if needed. Panther Ridge is located next to Lakewood Ranch and offers country living with an estate-property distinction. Its natural setting evokes 'old Florida' and is vast enough for residents to enjoy horseback riding on 15 miles of trails with oak filled hammocks, rustic bridges over creeks, and wide-open spaces highlighted by majestic oak and towering pine. Panther Ridge also has 2 parks featuring a horse-riding area, basketball court, baseball area, plus a covered area for picnicking. If you love to golf, The Concession Golf and Country Club is located on the south side of ST RD 70 (so close you can bike there!), which offers a private golf course package as well as a social membership (membership is not mandatory for Panther Ridge residents). Minutes away you will find The Premier Sports Campus at Lakewood Ranch, a new Publix/shopping center, as well as restaurants, nail/hair salons, gyms, and a multitude of golf courses. Panther Ridge offers a peaceful place to call home and enables you to enjoy a very private country lifestyle with a short drive to amenities. PLEASE NOTE- PROFESSIONAL PICTURES COMING JUNE 7TH!
