If you have been searching for a home in an amenity-rich resort community but have been finding it difficult to find the privacy you are looking for, then this is your lucky day! This custom home is nestled into protected preserve land and is surrounded on 2 sides by dense woods offering the kind of privacy that you just don’t find in other neighborhoods, so while you may live in a community with 350 other homes you will feel like you are living all by yourself in the middle of the woods. When you walk into this home you will fall in love with the 10 foot ceilings and views of the preserve out almost every window. The expansive kitchen is the centerpiece for the wide-open living area and features dual-color cabinetry, quartz countertops, an enormous island, expanded dinette area, and more counterspace than you have ever dreamed of! 2 large sliding glass doors invite you to walk out on the extended lanai and enjoy over 400 square feet of covered outdoor living area. The pool and hot tub area have been designed to blend into the natural landscape with stack stone walls, a total of 5 waterfalls, and a panoramic screened enclosure that almost disappears. Back inside you will find a triple split bedroom plan that offers a primary suite with a large bay window area, en-suite bath with dual showerheads, and an extra-large walk-in closet with custom built-ins. 2 more bedrooms include an en-suite guest room and a 3rd bedroom that is currently used as an office with custom built-in shelving/filing cabinet in the closet. Other upgrades in this home include central vac, hurricane impact windows throughout, extended driveway, air-conditioned garage with high-grade epoxy flooring, and extra-large built in storage cabinets with workbench area in the tandem parking area. This home is located in the most coveted section of Bellacina within an enclave of 68 homes with their own private entrance. A boardwalk through the preserve connects these homes with the rest of the community where you will find a first-class amenity complex with fitness center, community gathering room, resort-style pool, hot tub, bocce ball, har-tru tennis court, fire pit and 4 pickleball courts. As an added bonus, Bellacina is one of the few communities in Sarasota County to offer private gated access to the Legacy Trail which runs 18.5 miles from the Venice Train Station all the way up to Payne Park in downtown Sarasota.
