Property Description
A truly once in a lifetime opportunity is now yours; a chance to own a 8.04 acre Myakka City log home that embodies the rich and authentic history of a bygone era of Old Florida. For your consideration is the historic Hutches Home, the home of a former Manatee County Sheriff and his wife, Clint & Eva Hutches. Built in the late 1930's this log home has been meticulously restored to preserve its' unparalleled historic charm. In addition, all major systems have been fully updated to provide peace of mind to its' future owner. The home features a new metal roof, all new AC units, new plumbing, tankless water heater, all new well equipment, and a newly installed top-of-the-line solar electric system with batteries for extended outages. Soaring vaulted ceilings and show-stopping exposed beams transport you to a different time; the Old Miakka pioneer days. The home harkens one back to the era when Florida cattle & cracker culture was the way of daily life. Rich, natural tones exude from the cedar and red tidewater pecky cypress wood interior, creating a warm and comforting atmosphere. The home centers around an impressive, stately original brick fireplace and all floors are original pine and ash wood. The home has been renovated by international French designer, Gaëlle Wizenberg, who created an aesthetic that naturally blends elements of a modern farmhouse while still preserving the historic charm of the log cabin. The “double” kitchen's dark cabinetry, thick butcher block countertops and high grade appliances create a true gourmet cook's kitchen. Located upstairs are 2 generously sized bedrooms that share a full bath. Along the upstairs hallway, between the bedrooms, you will be delighted to find the home's original gas lamps still installed. A newly added, fully screened porch is the perfect area to relax and take in views of a massive Grand Oak in the front yard. This “off the grid” rural home was used recently as a yoga retreat and hosted educational classes on organic and regenerative farming practices. You will see the evidence of this as you walk the 8.04 acre parcel and find a thriving “food forest” replete with vegetables including kale, cabbage, herbs, lettuces, and a fruit tree grove featuring lemon, lime, orange, cherry, avocado trees and many more. The property also is home to a small historic cottage; a quaint and cozy accommodation for farm guests. There are 2 large pole barn outbuildings, both with water and power. Last, but not least, there is a 2023 mobile “tiny home” that creates another future option for guests. The property is near to the entrance of Myakka State Park, and borders the 4,000 acre Blackbeard Ranch. Terra Nova Equestrian Center is only minutes away from the property, making this a great equestrian area. There are 2 new golf clubs being constructed nearby, Miakka & Soleta Golf, so this homestead would get you in close proximity but sans all the HOA fees and restrictions one finds in a master planned community. Shopping and dining opportunities abound in Waterside & Lakewood Ranch, approx. a 30 minute drive from the home. The beautiful, white sand beaches of Lido and Longboat Key are within reach too, approx. 45 min away. The home presents a rare and unique opportunity to own a real piece of Old Florida history and still allows for further customization to curate your ideal country life in the heart of Myakka City.
