Description : It's exactly what you have been searching for- almost 9 acres of towering oak trees, whispering pines, and a custom estate nestled in the heart of it's very own forest. Hard to find anywhere, much less just outside Lakewood Ranch in the upscale and highly popular equestrian neighborhood Panther Ridge, but this 2007 stunner is now available and waiting for you. Gorgeous coffered ceilings, crown molding, beautiful flooring, granite countertops, luxurious cabinets, curved walls, exquisite bathrooms, and a pool that is perfect for swimming laps, plus a 3 car garage, mud room, and oversized laundry room, all situated on a heavily wooded intensely private cul-de-sac. Come get away from it all, but be minutes to everything! Join the Concession Country Club right across the street, dine in the fabulous restaurants in Lakewood Ranch, and very soon you will be able to shop at The Mall at University Town Center (opening 10-16-14) where Saks and other fine stores & restaurants will be located. This is the ultimate homesite with the perfect home and the absolutely best location. Available as a straight sale, lease purchase (call for details), or lease ($3500 per mth. pool & lawn included)- this home has several excellent options for your family.
