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: an existing 4-bedroom, 4-bath home on site that is currently being evaluated by a structural engineer. Early indications suggest the stem wall is in good condition and that repairs are feasible, giving buyers the option to either restore the residence or start fresh and build the home of their dreams. The land itself is truly the star — five beautiful acres with the perfect blend of cleared, usable space and natural wooded privacy as well as a large pond. 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. (Property Showing Requires a liability waiver signed and returned before showing approval will be granted. First floor is structurally compromised, but can be repaired.)
