Why Acreage Requires a Different Kind of Agent
Most agents are trained to sell houses. We’re trained to sell land. That means understanding everything from zoning, access, and easements to water systems, fencing, and buyer intent.

Acreage buyers don’t just care about the home — they care about what they can do with the land. That’s why experience matters.

 
What We Bring to the Table
✓ Over 100 acreage properties successfully sold/listed (mostly in Myakka City) 
✓ Expert in land use, zoning, and rural development
✓ Professional drone and aerial marketing included
✓ We market directly to land and equestrian buyers
✓ Strategic pricing based on land usability and demand
✓ Access to buyers and agents actively looking for acreage

 
Who We Work With
We work with homeowners, landowners, and estate sellers:
– Equestrian properties (in Myakka and throughout Manatee/Sarasota, and Desoto Counties)
– Raw land or subdividable parcels
– Homes on 1+ acres (most land parcels in Myakka City are 5+ acres) 
– Agricultural or mixed-use land
– Luxury homes with acreage (yes, there are luxury homes for sale in Myakka City)
– Homestead-ready properties

 
Don’t Let a Beautiful Property Be Undervalued
Hiring the wrong agent for your acreage property can cost you more than time - it can cost you tens of thousands in missed opportunities. We’ve seen it happen. Homes sit because they’re priced like a subdivision home. Or marketed with no understanding of the land.
Our approach is different. We know the buyers. We know the questions they’ll ask. And we know how to present your property so it speaks to the right audience, not just the widest one.

We have the experience needed to market and sell acreage properties in Myakka City.

Myakka City, Florida: Real Estate, Schools, and Local Facts
Myakka City is an unincorporated rural community located in eastern Manatee County, Florida, approximately 20-35 minutes east of Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, and Sarasota, depending on location. It is known for agricultural zoning, large-acreage properties, equestrian use, and low-density development, making it one of the last remaining rural markets in the Sarasota–Manatee region.

Unlike master-planned communities to the west, Myakka City development is governed primarily by Manatee County zoning and land-use regulations, which allow for agricultural, residential, and mixed rural uses. This directly impacts property size, home types, land values, and resale dynamics.

Common property types include:

Single-family homes on 1–10+ acres
Agricultural and equestrian properties
Custom-built homes (many with barns, workshops, or guest structures)
Vacant land and improved acreage

 
Myakka City Real Estate Market Overview
The Myakka City real estate market behaves very differently from suburban and master-planned markets nearby. Pricing is influenced less by neighborhood amenities and more by:

Acreage size and usability
Zoning and permitted uses
Flood zones and wetlands
Access, frontage, and utilities
Improvements such as barns, fencing, wells, and septic systems

Homes in Myakka City tend to hold long-term value because land is the primary asset, not the structure alone. Inventory levels are typically lower, and buyer demand is more niche, meaning correct pricing and targeted marketing are essential when selling.

This market is best suited for buyers who value:

Privacy and distance from dense development
Flexibility for animals, equipment, or home businesses
Long-term land ownership rather than short-term appreciation
 
Schools & Education in Myakka City
Myakka City is served by the Manatee County School District, one of the largest districts in Florida.

Public Schools
Myakka City Elementary School – Located directly in Myakka City, serving elementary-age students in the immediate area.
Middle and high school assignments vary by address and are determined by Manatee County zoning, with students typically commuting to schools west of Myakka City.

Charter & Choice Options
Families in Myakka City also have access to:

Manatee County charter schools
Magnet programs

School choice and controlled open enrollment options
Because Myakka City is rural, school commute times are an important consideration, and families should always verify zoning and availability directly with the Manatee County School District.

Parks, Recreation & Local Amenities
While Myakka City is rural, it is surrounded by significant outdoor and recreational assets:

Myakka River State Park – One of Florida’s largest state parks, offering hiking, biking, wildlife viewing, camping, kayaking, and airboat tours.
Myakka Community Park & Community Center – Hosts local events, recreational programs, and fitness activities.
Dakin Dairy Farms – A long-standing local attraction featuring farm tours, ice cream, and seasonal events.

There are no large commercial shopping centers within Myakka City itself. Most residents travel west to Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, or Sarasota for major shopping, dining, healthcare, and entertainment.

This limited commercial footprint is intentional and is part of what preserves the area’s rural character.

 
Infrastructure, Utilities & Practical Considerations
Buyers considering Myakka City should understand several practical realities:

Most homes use well water and septic systems
Internet availability varies by provider and location
Roads are primarily county-maintained, with some private access roads
Flood zones and wetlands are common and must be evaluated property by property
These factors directly affect insurance, financing, land use, and resale - and should always be reviewed carefully during due diligence.

 
Buying or Selling Real Estate in Myakka City
Myakka City is not a “plug-and-play” real estate market. Acreage properties require specialized knowledge related to land use, zoning, marketing, and buyer demand.

Whether you are:

Buying land or acreage in Myakka City
Selling a rural or agricultural property
Relocating from out of state
Downsizing from acreage ownership

It is critical to work with an agent who understands rural Manatee County real estate, not just suburban neighborhoods.

Acreage homes do not sell based on yard signs or MLS exposure alone. Proper positioning, buyer education, and realistic pricing strategies matter - especially in changing market conditions.

If you would like a clear, data-based market evaluation or want to understand what actually drives value for Myakka City properties, a direct conversation is the best place to start.
