About this home
Stunning Estate on 5+ Acres in a Gated Community with an Enchanted Forest Retreat
Welcome to 5850 Saddle Oak Trail—Nestled behind the gates of one of Sarasota’s most exclusive communities, this beautifully remodeled, nearly 4,000 sq. ft. estate sits on over 5 private acres and welcomes you with a long, tropical Florida-style driveway—lush, enchanting, and designed to impress from the moment you arrive.
Step into your own secret garden—a rare and magical feature of this property is its enchanting forest, unlike anything else in the community. Winding walkways guide you through the natural canopy of mature trees and lush foliage, offering peaceful moments of serenity, connection with nature, and space for meditation, mindful walks, or simply getting lost in the beauty of your own private woodland escape. This one-of-a-kind feature adds mystery, charm, and a timeless magic rarely found in Sarasota real estate.
Inside, you’ll find a spacious open floor plan with soaring tray ceilings, showcasing an elegant blend of comfort and style. The gourmet kitchen has been fully renovated with sleek modern cabinetry and high-end finishes, seamlessly flowing into the living and dining areas—ideal for entertaining and everyday living. The home features 4 bedrooms, 4 beautifully updated bathrooms, 2 dedicated offices, and a versatile upstairs bonus area—currently a media room—perfect for a gym, art studio, or guest retreat.
Your private outdoor resort awaits: a fully renovated pool area with luxurious travertine tile, heated pool and spa, expansive screened lanai, and lush tropical landscaping—perfect for year-round enjoyment.
Car enthusiasts and adventurers will love the two garages—a spacious attached garage and a brand-new 1,500 sq. ft. detached garage, both with premium epoxy floors and space for your cars, boat, RV, and more.
