Enter into ‘Old Florida’ with this stunning, fully restored farmhouse on 8 acres in rural Myakka City. Originally built in 1941 by Clint and Eva Hutches, both former Manatee County Sheriffs, this authentic log home is steeped in history and charm. Restored by French designer, Gaëlle Wizenberg, this home has been beautifully reimagined while preserving its original, historic character. If you've ever dreamed of living ‘off the grid’, becoming fully sustainable, and growing your own food, while still being within close proximity to modern conveniences such as shopping & dining found at Lakewood Ranch or the stunning beaches of Lido & Siesta Key, your dream is now a reality. The restoration of this home included extensive updates such as a new metal roof, AC units, plumbing, tankless water heater, well equipment, and a top-of-the-line solar system which powers the entire property. As you approach the property, you'll be greeted by the awe-inspiring beauty of the home and its surroundings. The soaring vaulted ceilings and exposed beams reflect the rustic yet refined heritage of Florida’s cattle ranching era. The rich, warm tones of cedar and tidewater pecky cypress wood create an inviting, natural atmosphere. For the culinary enthusiast, the farmhouse boasts two kitchens: a spacious prep kitchen and a chef's kitchen designed to impress. The kitchen offers a direct view of the thriving vegetable garden and fruit tree grove. The home features a fully screened front porch, perfect for relaxing while enjoying the shade of the Grand Oak in the yard. The property also includes a charming cabin, also built in 1941, that has a full bathroom and kitchenette. There are 2 large pole barns, which provide ample storage or could easily be converted into equestrian stables in the future. In addition, a 2023 1 bedroom, 1 bath mobile home, perfect for a guest suite or rental unit, will convey with the property. This one-of-a-kind property is truly unmatched in its' captivating charm!
