Situated within a quiet, deed-restricted enclave of just 96 homes with low HOA fees, the property boasts exceptional curb appeal and lush, mature landscaping that creates a serene and private setting. The home features a spacious split floor plan with upgraded bamboo flooring in the bedrooms, plantation shutters, and abundant natural light throughout. Designed for both comfort and entertaining, it includes a large lanai, a sparkling pool, a convenient cabana bath, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen.

Residents also enjoy direct access to the Legacy Trail for biking and hiking. Mission Estates borders Mission Valley Country Club, offering an 18-hole golf course, tennis, and dining. Ideally situated between downtown Sarasota and downtown Venice, you’re minutes from top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and a brand-new state-of-the-art hospital.
