In Prairie Creek, where riding trails stretch for miles, this 5.17 acre property with a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home is designed for flexible country living, featuring a concrete block 4 stall barn, cross fenced paddocks, and wide open usable land suited for a variety of uses. Set behind a private automatic gate, the fully fenced property opens to a landscape shaped for both function and space, with oak trees lining the front and wide pasture views extending beyond. The layout reflects careful planning, allowing for a natural flow between the home, barn, and riding areas. Inside, the home offers a spacious open floor plan that connects directly to the outdoor living areas. The living room features vaulted ceilings, tile flooring, a stone wood burning fireplace, and French doors leading to the screened lanai and pool, allowing natural light to move easily throughout the space. The kitchen is designed with both scale and efficiency in mind, featuring solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a built in oven, and a large island with a stainless steel sink. Additional features include a wine fridge, dry bar, pantry, granite backsplash, and custom lighting. Just off the kitchen, the dinette provides a quiet place to start the day with views of the pool and private backyard. A formal dining room sits at the front of the home overlooking the oak trees. The split floor plan provides privacy, with the primary suite set apart from the guest bedrooms. The 17X15 primary bedroom includes two large walk in closets, tile flooring, a ceiling fan, and French doors leading to the pool area. The en suite bathroom features a tiled walk in shower with glass enclosure, a double sink vanity with custom built ins, round vessel sinks, and custom lighting. On the opposite side of the home, two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom with a tiled tub and shower combination. An additional half bathroom and an interior laundry room with built in cabinetry add convenience. The AC system was updated in 2022 and hurricane windows are installed throughout. Outdoor living centers around the screened pool area, which includes a heated saltwater pool, brick pavers, and a large sun deck, creating a natural extension of the indoor space. The equestrian infrastructure is fully established. The concrete block barn includes four 12 X12 self watering stalls with fans, a 12X12 feed room, an air conditioned 12X12 tack room, and a covered wash rack with rubber mats. The property also features five oversized cross fenced paddocks-each with its own water access, a large dressage arena, a private pond, built-in fire pit, and pump house. Located within the deed restricted Prairie Creek Equestrian Community, the property provides access to miles of maintained riding trails. It remains just minutes from shopping, dining, boating, fishing, downtown Punta Gorda, and the Punta Gorda Airport, while still offering the space and structure expected from a dedicated equestrian property.
