Gated Sarasota Estate with Home Business Infrastructure — Live, Work & Thrive on 2.49 Acres! Tucked deep off Proctor Road, this lakefront estate — with its own private pond — offers a rare convergence of privacy, space, & opportunity that simply does not come along often — at any price. The property is fully fenced, & a canopy of mature oaks & native Florida landscaping lines the paver arrival, where a courtyard entrance, stone exterior accents, tile roof, & French door entry set a tone that is warm, layered, & full of character. Inside, the open split floor plan spans 2,223 sq. ft. of air-conditioned living space, with upgraded windows throughout. Custom tile floors, wood-beamed ceilings, & handcrafted millwork weave a common thread of carefully articulated detail that connects each room’s distinct personality. The formal living room features a dramatic wood feature wall & sliding glass doors to the private courtyard; the dining room is anchored by a custom chandelier; & the family room opens to the screened lanai through sliding glass doors with recessed lighting throughout. The kitchen is the heart of the home — appointed with a center island, bar seating, black granite countertops, white raised-panel cabinetry, a built-in pantry, stainless steel appliances, two refrigerators, & a pass-through to the pool area, with more than enough room & storage to handle everything from a quiet morning to a full crowd. The primary suite is a true retreat — quiet, grounded, & thoughtfully appointed, with an en suite bath that feels spa-like, featuring dual sinks, an electric LED mirror, & a walk-in shower designed for unwinding, plus a pocket door leading to a built-in walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms each feature the home’s signature beamed ceilings & moldings, while the guest bath impresses with custom black-and-white tile floors & a subway-tiled shower-tub surround. Step outside to a screened lanai with a pool, spa, & spillover feature — a private outdoor retreat with plenty of room to lounge & entertain. The detached 77x24, fully air-conditioned 1,848 sq. ft. building — originally designed with concrete flooring & three garage bays with tall electric overhead doors, which could easily be restored — is currently configured as a flexible, purposeful space. Think home business, car collection, woodworking shop, weekend projects, or whatever your passion demands — ideal for anyone who needs serious room to do what they do. The attached two-car garage adds 441 sq. ft. of enclosed, air-conditioned space. Both the house & barn are insulated with Icynene spray foam & equipped with new AC systems & ductwork (replaced within the last 3–5 years), & the barn received a brand-new roof in 2025. The sewer/drain line has also been re-lined within the last several years — the kind of behind-the-scenes investment that makes a real difference in long-term ownership. There is ample room for RV & boat parking, & with no HOA to contend with, you have the freedom to use this property entirely on your terms. Located within Dunhill Estates — a coveted enclave of just 12 estate-sized lots — & just minutes from Clark Road & I-75, & a short drive from the world-renowned beaches of Siesta Key. Nearby trailheads provide easy access to the Legacy Trail, & the area is rich with shopping, dining, & parks. This Sarasota estate delivers Florida charm, lakefront land, gated privacy, & a rare combination of living & working space — all without ever sacrificing convenience.
