1408 Oak Hammock Road

This is over FIVE ACRES in one of Sarasota's most PRIVATE communities, where seeing deer in your backyard is normal, the only traffic you'll hear is birds, and you can finally enjoy the kind of quiet that's becoming incredibly hard to find. Even though it feels like you're miles away from everything, you're less than 15 minutes from groceries and restaurants around Lakewood Ranch, about 25 minutes from downtown Sarasota, and roughly 30 minutes from Siesta Key Beach. You really don't have to choose between CONVENIENCE and PRIVACY anymore.

Inside, the home is just over 4,000 square feet with FOUR bedrooms, FOUR bathrooms, plus BONUS room and LOFT space, soaring ceilings, and an open floor plan that was designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The chef's kitchen flows into the great room, while the covered lanai and saltwater pool become an extension of the living space. This home was CUSTOM built in 2016 with hurricane resilience in mind. It features IMPACT windows and doors throughout, a whole-house GENERATOR, and it's about 42' elevated and NOT in a flood zone. When everyone else is worrying about storms, this is the kind of home designed to help you feel prepared.

You're just minutes from Lakewood Ranch, but without the high HOA and CDD fees or the cookie-cutter neighborhoods where the view out your window is the side of your neighbor's house. Here there's room to throw the ball, have a garden, or play in the treehouse.
Sitting on more than FIVE ACRES, you have room to dream. Add a barn, create a homestead, bring horses, build another structure, or simply leave it exactly as it is and enjoy the PRIVACY that comes with owning this much land. Nestled within The Ranches at Bern Creek neighborhood which has all properties 5-10 acres in size, you will always maintain your peace, even when new development starts filling in around the area.

Finding a beautiful custom home with acreage and just a short drive to Lakewood Ranch, downtown, and the beaches—with this level of privacy, hurricane preparedness, low HOA fees, and a location that's still convenient to everything Sarasota has to offer—is incredibly rare.
