SARASOTA FL: Private Oak Ford retreat on 2 acres with pond, pool, outdoor kitchen, separate studio, and brand-new major upgrades with new roof— is a true hidden sanctuary. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this LEE WETHERINGTON custom-built, fully remodeled private estate offers rare serenity with two full acres of total enjoyment — one acre owned plus a perpetual, exclusive-use easement that conveys to future owners. The backyard feels like a nature preserve, alive with birdlife, a glowing pond with water fountain, and a private fishing dock that creates a peaceful, one-of-a-kind setting. Total peace and quiet tranquility. Inside, soaring ceilings and abundant natural light showcase extensive renovations throughout, including new flooring, designer lighting, glass interior doors, upgraded entry doors, a renovated den, and 2 electric fireplaces in both the living room and primary suite. The home features 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, generous storage, a 2-car garage, a brand-new roof, and two new water heaters for complete peace of mind. The modern kitchen is both beautiful and functional with granite countertops, dual sinks, and abundant cabinetry, complemented by a formal dining room just off the kitchen. Outdoor living is extraordinary. Enjoy a large, screened lanai, resort-style pool with fountain, pergola-covered outdoor kitchen with grill, pizza oven, and bar seating, plus an extended veranda terrace with built-in fire pit and expansive paved entertaining areas designed for unforgettable gatherings. A separate 865± sq ft studio built in 2021 features a private entrance, impact windows, full bath, and kitchenette-ready sink — ideal for guest house, a home office, gym, or an artist's creative retreat. This move-in-ready estate is a rare opportunity to own a private sanctuary in Oak Ford, where nature, luxury, and flexibility come together in perfect balance. NOTE: 1-acre property is per county records and 1-acre is per owner acquired easement grant.
