Wide streets, mature landscaping, and well-maintained homes give the community a settled feel that newer developments can’t reproduce. You’re close to top schools, everyday shopping, golf, and easy routes into Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, and the beaches—but far enough removed to enjoy a quieter setting.

This property offers a rare combination: a large lot, a solid home with a long ownership history, and a location in one of the area’s most dependable neighborhoods. Opportunities like this don’t come up often in Country Meadows, and the buyers who wait for them tend to move quickly.
