Tucked away on a quiet, oversized 3 Acre homesite in The Forest at Hi Hat Ranch, this 2021-built estate offers the kind of space and privacy that is becoming increasingly hard to find. It’s a home designed for those who want a true connection to nature without sacrificing a bit of modern comfort or high-end style. Inside, the 4,200 square feet feels remarkably easy to live in. The main living areas are bathed in natural light, featuring soaring ceilings and warm wood accents that add character to the contemporary design. The chef’s kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and great room, creating a perfect hub for hosting friends or just enjoying a quiet morning at home. The primary suite serves as a true main-level retreat, while the rest of the home offers total flexibility—whether you need a dedicated home office, a fitness space, or room for a growing family. The backyard is where the property really distinguishes itself. The screened-in pool and spa area feels like a private sanctuary, overlooking a peaceful pond and a lush, natural landscape of mature trees. Just beyond the pool, you’ll find one of the most unique features in Sarasota: a custom-built treehouse tucked into the woods. It’s an incredible creative escape or a one-of-a-kind play space that you won't find anywhere else. Living in Hi Hat Ranch gives you that secluded "estate" feel, yet you’re still just a short drive from the shopping and dining at Lakewood Ranch, the vibrant scene at Waterside, and the world-class beaches of Sarasota. This isn't just a house; it’s a place to slow down, spread out, and actually enjoy the Florida lifestyle.
