Discover 47 acres of buildable agricultural land nestled at the end of scenic River Road in Myakka City, just moments from the new Soleta Golf Club and within a 20 minute drive to the vibrant community of Lakewood Ranch. Currently the property has a cattle lease that may convey to the new owner and is a benefit for agricultural tax exemptions. The land is well-suited for any agricultural use while offering incredible potential for future development. With no HOA or deed restrictions, you have the freedom to build your dream homestead-whether that's a custom farmhouse, a modern barndominium, or a fully equipped workshop. There are 2 existing wells and power already in place so construction costs will be eased. The property allows for a primary residence and up to three accessory dwelling units (ADUs), or alternatively it can be subdivided to suit your plans. Mineral rights convey with the sale, and while the majority of the land lies in Flood Zone X (high & dry), there are three small areas of wetlands that provide a seasonal water source for livestock. This vacant land offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the fast pace of city life without sacrificing access to everyday conveniences. The drive to the property winds through old Florida county roads, offering a peaceful and scenic entry that feels like stepping into a simpler time. Plus, with county plans to pave River Road in the future, accessibility and property value are poised to grow. Whether you're looking to establish a working ranch, a private country estate, or a long-term investment, this versatile property is a true blank canvas ready for your vision. If Buyer keeps the cattle lease in place, they could qualify for an agriculture tax exemption, which will lower property taxes.
