Nestled along the banks of the tranquil Manatee River, this spectacular Cape Dutch-inspired home was built in 2021 with no detail or expense spared. Each room in this elegant yet understated 4,489 sq. ft. home is designed to capitalize on the spectacular views - the meandering river with a huge preserve beyond, majestic moss-draped oaks, the exquisite pool and koi pond - and the unequaled beauty of Florida nature. The immaculate interior of the home centers around a large open living area which flows into two thoughtfully designed separate wings, allowing space and privacy.

The Main House

The East Wing of the house comprises a library, a gallery, a spacious and elegant bedroom, a large walk-in closet, and a third bedroom or study.  The West Wing has a beautiful bedroom suite, an office, and a utility/hobby room.  Each wing has its staircase to a two-car garage, and there is an elevator from the ground floor to the main level. Between the garages is a large space used as a gym and a hobby room which opens up onto a spacious covered terrace overlooking the banks of the river.

The Guest House

Built in 2020, The Treehouse, as it’s known, is a beautiful light-filled one-bedroom, 1.5-bath living space with huge windows overlooking a serene pond.  The first floor has been finished as an additional living and sleeping area and there is an elevator that takes you to the main floor.  A large screened deck is a perfect spot for outdoor grilling and dining, or simply sitting outside to watch the turtles and whistling ducks in the pond.

The Estate

Mill Creek Estate offers the ultimate privacy and seclusion with enough room to accommodate extended family and guests. In addition to the main house and guest house, there is a large air-conditioned barn for cars and toys with an office and bathroom, a utility container shed, a plant nursery and greenhouse, and a fabulous “Fish Shack” -  a riverfront screened hut which is perfect for casual sunset gatherings or for cleaning and grilling the day’s catch.

For boating enthusiasts, the dock on the Manatee River leads out to the intracoastal and the Gulf of Mexico.

The Lifestyle

The grounds of the estate have been carefully curated to enhance the inherent natural beauty and secure the ultimate in privacy and seclusion. The property has several trails and there is a stone deck at “Sunset Point” which is one of the best places to catch the sunset and a picnic table at “Pineapple Point” for al fresco dining.

Wildlife plays a huge role in everyday life on the estate; it is a haven for deer, bobcats, owls, otters, turtles, manatees, dolphins, bald eagles, and countless waterbirds. There are nesting boxes carefully placed in trees and shrubs around to encourage and protect the birds, ducks, and squirrels, and you will often see dolphins and manatee cruising along the river. For the fishing enthusiast, you will find tarpon, blue crab, redfish, black drum, and snook, to name a few, in the waterways.

The Opportunities

Mill Creek Estate offers the ultimate in privacy and seclusion, close to Sarasota, St Petersburg, Tampa, and Orlando. The property itself presents many options for expansion with additional parcels totalling +/- 30 acres available. The existing 30-acre parcel is zoned agricultural and as such could be used for private sports facilities (tennis court, soccer field), a helipad, stables, or event hosting.
