5310 TUTTLE, SARASOTA, FL 34234

Description

Invest in one of central Sarasota’s most versatile acreage opportunities with this gated 2.23-acre RE1-zoned estate in the historic Desoto Acres community, offering rare land-use flexibility with no active HOA and no enforced deed restrictions. Positioned for future growth, the property is fully secured with perimeter fencing and an electronic security gate at the 53rd Street entrance, with dual asphalt driveways already installed to support expanded use. A cleared and prepped secondary build site provides immediate potential for a detached guest house, ADU, or professional-grade workshop. Approximately $106,000 in recent capital improvements—including a 2023 roof, 2019 HVAC, new water heater, heavy-duty double septic system with lift station, and a deep-drilled 251-ft well recently rejetted with a brand-new submersible pump—significantly reduce future infrastructure costs and strengthen development readiness. While the existing residence is dated, it is fully functional and refreshed with a brand-new mini-split system in the owner’s suite, providing immediate climate-controlled comfort for a primary resident or a phased renovation project. A four-car garage configuration includes an oversized attached two-car garage and a detached air-conditioned workshop, plus 50-amp RV hookups to accommodate specialty storage needs. Located just minutes from UTC and downtown Sarasota, this property represents a strategic land-bank or custom compound opportunity with substantial upside potential. This is a rare find for the buyer who values independence, infrastructure, and a blank canvas for their Florida lifestyle. Schedule your private tour and evaluate the possibilities today.
