A rare opportunity to live on a beautiful 2.1-acre parcel of land tucked away from it all in a quiet area of Mill Creek. Located on a quiet dead-end street within 10 minutes of everyday amenities, you have plenty of options to live as-is or build from scratch. This elevated home has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and an open plan living area which opens up onto a large wooden wraparound balcony from which to enjoy the privacy and seclusion of this unique slice of Florida nature. The main living level sits atop a carport, a large 800sf screened room with lots of potential uses, a (non-airconditioned) 29' x 11' room that is plumbed for a washer and dryer, and a second bathroom with a shower and toilet. The home was updated with vinyl plank flooring, interior paint and appliances 5 years ago. There is a well with a filtration system and two septic tanks - one for the main house and a second pump-out for an RV.! The lot is huge, with many mature oak trees, but still plenty of space for a spacious building envelope for new construction. Fences are on three sides and grand entry gates with fast-growing bamboo lining the front fence. There is a storage shed with an overhead door. This property is located just across the street from an artery of the Manatee River and is a short drive to SR 64 where you will find plenty of shopping locations. You can store your boat and trailer on site, and the Fort Hamer boat ramp is a quick 6-minute drive.
