1245 MILL CREEK RD Bradenton, FL 34212

Tucked away along the tranquil banks of the Manatee River, this extraordinary 30-acre private estate offers a lifestyle rarely found in Sarasota or Manatee County—where outdoor adventure, recreation, privacy, and luxury converge into one remarkable compound. The property features an exceptional 4,489 sf custom home built in 2021, a 1,282 sf guest house, a multi-use air-conditioned outbuilding and more, and offers a true Florida playground for boating, fishing, horses, entertaining, hobbies, and enjoying the outdoors on an unmatched scale. A 60-foot dock provides direct access to incredible fishing and boating, with tarpon, snook, redfish, black drum, blue crab, dolphin, and manatee, all part of everyday life along this serene stretch of river. Explore the estate through an extensive network of raised walking and ATV trails winding beneath majestic moss-draped oaks and along the water's edge, leading to hidden gathering spaces, multiple firepit areas, sunset overlooks, and a screened riverfront “Fish Shack” complete with a sink for cleaning the day's catch after time on the water. Agriculturally zoned and exceptionally versatile, the property allows horses, farming, honey beehives, recreational vehicles, and even the installation of a helipad. Expansive open land provides endless possibilities for sporting activities, additional structures, or simply enjoying unmatched privacy surrounded by nature. The spectacular main home offers a flexible open-concept floor plan and showcases natural materials including coral stone, shellstone, quartzite, and rich acacia wood. The well-designed space includes two spacious bedroom suites, 3rd bedroom/study, living and dining rooms, media/family room, Chef's kitchen, office, gallery, mud room, gym, hobby room, and elevator. Stunning views from every room, and covered terraces and outdoor gathering spaces extend the living experience outdoors. The separate elevated 1 bedroom/1 bath guest house built in 2020 known as “The Treehouse" features a spacious living room and bedroom, with dramatic oversized windows overlooking a peaceful pond. The massive 60' x 30' air-conditioned and insulated multi-use outbuilding/barn with office and full bath is ideal for car collections, boat or RV storage, horses, woodworking, fitness training, sports simulation, hobbies, or additional entertaining space. Total garage space for 15+ cars/RVs/boats! A stunning heated resort-style saltwater pool, beautiful koi pond, greenhouse with nursery system, wetland island, tropical landscaping, and abundant wildlife create a setting that feels worlds away from city life in a location that is remarkably convenient, just minutes to I-75, approximately 15 minutes to shopping and dining, and 30 minutes to Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. Rarely does a property combine this level of privacy, acreage, architectural quality, and outdoor lifestyle in such a convenient Sarasota-area location. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a true legacy property where the Florida outdoor lifestyle can be lived to its fullest.
