Five acres of beautiful, wooded land, just 15 minutes from downtown Sarasota and University Town Center! It's an enticing combination, offering the space and privacy of a country estate without sacrificing the convenience of a central location. Situated just west of Lockwood Ridge Road near Whitfield Avenue, this largely undeveloped parcel is surrounded by established residential communities, yet feels wonderfully secluded from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The property is covered in pine trees, palms and native vegetation, creating a natural landscape with exciting possibilities for a custom home. With just four five-acre parcels along 68th Avenue East, there's an abundance of space between neighboring properties. Much of the existing vegetation could be retained to preserve the character and privacy of the setting, while selectively clearing areas for a home, gardens and outdoor living spaces. Relatively few trees appear to be protected, offering flexibility in planning a homesite, although buyers should verify applicable tree preservation requirements. Imagine creating your own private estate on the full five acres, with room for a substantial custom residence, a pool, gardens and additional outdoor amenities. Alternatively, the property does offer the opportunity to create two approximately 2.5-acre residential parcels, subject to zoning, access requirements and County approval. Woodridge Oaks borders the property to the north, with Cascades to the west. Both communities have existing sewer infrastructure nearby, offering potential connection opportunities, subject to utility provider confirmation and approval. Utilities have not yet been connected to the property. Large, undeveloped residential parcels in such convenient locations are increasingly difficult to find. Whether the vision is a single custom estate or two individual homesites, this is an opportunity to create something special while retaining the beauty and privacy of the natural surroundings. All within easy reach of Sarasota's downtown, shopping, dining and the many amenities of the surrounding area. Prior survey, site plan, elevation certificate, and environmental site review available. Buyer to independently verify zoning, future land use, wetlands, flood zone, utilities, development potential, and all information pertinent to buyer's intended use.
