Set on one of the larger homesites in Country Meadows, this property delivers the space, privacy, and street presence that have made this neighborhood one of East Manatee’s most established and sought-after communities. Built in 2006 and held by the same owners since 2007, the home reflects the kind of long-term stewardship that’s increasingly rare in today’s market. Properties in this section of Country Meadows don’t turn over often, and when they do, buyers recognize the value quickly.

The oversized lot gives you room to breathe—plenty of space for a true backyard, pool design, outdoor kitchen, or the kind of long-term improvements you simply can’t achieve on smaller parcels. The exterior shows durable Florida construction with a traditional feel, and the wide frontage sets the home back comfortably from the street, adding to the sense of privacy.

Inside, the layout supports the way people live in this area: defined living spaces that still feel connected, multiple flex rooms that can serve as a home office, formal dining, or media room, and a flow that works well for both everyday living and hosting. Large windows bring natural light in throughout the day, and the footprint of the home gives you options to update, modernize, or personalize without being constrained by tight room sizes.

Country Meadows is known for its low HOA fees, no CDDs, and the kind of consistent neighborhood pride that keeps values strong year after year. Wide streets, mature landscaping, and well-maintained homes give the community a settled feel that newer developments can’t reproduce. You’re close to top schools, everyday shopping, golf, and easy routes into Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, and the beaches—but far enough removed to enjoy a quieter setting.

This property offers a rare combination: a large lot, a solid home with a long ownership history, and a location in one of the area’s most dependable neighborhoods. Opportunities like this don’t come up often in Country Meadows, and the buyers who wait for them tend to move quickly.

If you’ve been searching for a home with real long-term value, schedule your private showing today—homes like this do not sit on the market.
