Gated Sarasota Estate with 2,223 a/c Sq. Ft. Home & 2,289 a/c Sq. Ft. Business Infrastructure — Live, Work & Thrive on 2.49 Acres! Tucked deep off Proctor Road, this lakefront estate — w/ its own private pond — offers a rare convergence of privacy, space, & opportunity that simply does not come along often — at any price. Featuring a resort-style pool, spa, & elegant spillover feature—an inviting oasis set amid lush landscaping & tranquil lake views, designed for both relaxation & entertaining. The exceptional screened lanai & pool area transforms outdoor living into a private escape. The property is fully fenced, & a canopy of mature oaks & native Florida landscaping lines the paver arrival, where a courtyard entrance, stone exterior accents, tile roof, & French door entry set a tone that is warm, layered, & full of character. Inside, the open split floor plan spans 2,223 sq. ft. of air-conditioned living space, w/ upgraded windows throughout. Custom tile floors, wood tongue-groove ceilings, & handcrafted millwork weave a common thread of carefully articulated detail that connects each room’s distinct personality. The formal living room features a dramatic wood feature wall & sliding glass doors to the private courtyard; the dining room is anchored by a custom chandelier; & the family room opens to the screened lanai through sliding glass doors w/ recessed lighting throughout. The kitchen is the heart of the home — appointed w/ a center island, bar seating, black granite countertops, white raised-panel cabinetry, a built-in pantry, stainless steel appliances, two refrigerators, & a pass-through to the pool area, w/ more than enough room & storage to handle everything from a quiet morning to a full crowd. The primary suite is a true retreat — quiet, grounded, & thoughtfully appointed, w/ an en suite bath that feels spa-like, featuring dual sinks, an electric LED mirror, & a walk-in shower designed for unwinding, plus a pocket door leading to a built-in walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms each feature the home’s signature tongue-groove ceilings & moldings, while the guest bath impresses w/ custom black-and-white tile floors & a subway-tiled shower-tub surround. The detached 77x24, fully air-conditioned 1,848 sq. ft. concrete block building — designed w/ concrete flooring & three garage bays w/ tall electric overhead doors, — is currently configured as a flexible, purposeful space. Think home business, car collection, woodworking shop, weekend projects, or whatever your passion demands — ideal for anyone who needs serious room to do what they do. The attached two-car garage adds 441 sq. ft. of enclosed, air-conditioned space. Both the house & concrete block building are insulated w/ Icynene spray foam & equipped w/ new AC systems & ductwork (replaced within the last 3–5 years), & the concrete block building received a brand-new metal roof in 2025. The sewer/drain line has also been re-lined within the last several years — the kind of behind-the-scenes investment that makes a real difference in long-term ownership. There is ample room for RV & boat parking, & w/ no HOA to contend w/, you have the freedom to use this property entirely on your terms. Located in a coveted enclave of just 12 estate-sized lots — minutes from Clark Rd & I-75, & a short drive from Siesta Key beach. Nearby trailheads provide easy access to the Legacy Trail, & the area is rich w/ shopping, dining, & parks.
