update time: 04/28/2026 16:15:32
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. The ultimate equestrian estate in prestigious gated Saddle Creek is now available- a true horse lover's paradise! Drive through the gated entrance of Saddle Creek and discover one of Sarasota’s most exclusive equestrian enclaves — a peaceful, deed-restricted community of 5+ acre estates where horses graze beneath ancient oaks. Miles of private bridle paths — Palomino Trail, Bridle Path, Saddle Creek Way, and more — wind right from your back gate. This is authentic Florida horse country with easy access to I-75, yet you’re surrounded by like-minded owners who live the equestrian lifestyle year-round. The on-site facilities are built for serious horse enthusiasts. You’ll find three expansive barns: 2 connected directly to the home by covered breezeways, plus 1 free-standing barn with a half bath! The concrete attached barn (50x30) has 4 stalls (10x11 each), an 18x12 tack room, 10x16 mud room, 14x11 feed room, and a 13x17 tool room. The 2nd barn (70x 22) has 7 stalls (12x10 each), and the 3rd metal barn (48x 22) has 4 stalls (12x12 each). Together they offer a full complement of stalls, tack rooms, feed storage, a convenient half-bath, and a wash station. The entire 5+ acre property is fully fenced and cross-fenced, with an arena, paddocks and open pasture ready for daily turnout and training. These same barns also provide incredible versatility beyond horses — ideal for a car collector, carpenter’s workshop, additional storage, or any hobbyist needing large outbuildings with electricity and easy access. Inside the comfortable 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-level home (shown here virtually staged to illustrate its excellent flow and potential), you’ll love the warm, open layout designed for easy living between house and barns. The spacious great room features a stunning double-sided stone fireplace that opens to both the living area and the primary suite. The kitchen offers stone countertops and stainless-steel appliances, while the adjacent dining area and bonus room provide flexible space for clients or family. A generous screened porch and multiple covered patios create seamless indoor-outdoor living. You’re a quick 20-minute drive from TerraNova Equestrian Center in Myakka City — Florida’s premier destination with 6 state-of-the-art competition arenas, an Olympic-level cross-country course, 250+ permanent stalls (expanding soon), and a year-round calendar of international-level hunter/jumper (including CSI2* and National), dressage, eventing, and combined driving events. A short, easy drive south puts you at Fox Lea Farm in Venice — the family-friendly 50-acre boutique venue that hosts the popular 9-week Venice Equestrian Tour, weekly Grand Prix “Show Jumping Under the Stars,” plus Quarter Horse, Appaloosa, and dressage shows. When the big leagues call, world-renowned WEC in Ocala is a manageable, scenic 2.5-hour drive — close enough for weekend clinics or major events without ever feeling far from home. Add quick access to Sarasota Memorial Hospital, top-tier shopping, dining, and the stunning Gulf beaches — “The Water” is literally minutes away for sunset rides or client entertaining. This rare gated-community equestrian estate delivers serious barn infrastructure, endless private trails, and prime positioning on Florida’s premier show circuit. Whether you’re a full-time trainer, a passionate horse owner, or someone who wants the ultimate equine lifestyle with room to grow, this property offers it all year-round.
