26013 81ST DRIVE E This estate-style residence offers a rare blend of refined privacy and complete freedom on a spacious .53-acre lot in Myakka City. Meticulously de-risked for the sophisticated buyer, the property features a brand-new roof installed in 2025 and a high-efficiency 17 SEER rated Trane HVAC system replaced in 2021, ensuring the primary structural elements of this Manatee County estate are optimized for long-term performance. Freshly curated with designer paint inside and out, the home serves as a secure sanctuary fully enclosed by a 2024 privacy fence and professional-grade invisible pet fencing. Strategically positioned in Flood Zone X with an intentionally raised base elevation, the home is engineered for superior drainage and sits prominently on a high-percolation lot, offering maximum structural protection without the requirement for flood insurance. The thoughtfully designed 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout plus a dedicated den features a central open-concept living area and a master suite with direct access to the salt-water pool and screened lanai. Intentional upgrades include an updated water filtration system with an under-sink reverse osmosis unit for high-quality drinking water, a dedicated exterior-access pool bath for guests, and custom storage in the two-car garage. Positioned in a unique non-deed restricted enclave with no HOA or CDD fees, this estate allows for on-site RV and boat storage and offers operational autonomy via private well and septic systems. While providing a secluded country escape, the property remains exceptionally well-located near the upscale dining and shopping of Lakewood Ranch and UTC, as well as the world-renowned Gulf beaches of Bradenton and Sarasota.
