A European-inspired, 100-acre ranch with luxury home has sold for $9.45 million. Located at 600 North Jackson Road in Venice, DeVita Ranch boasts equestrian facilities, a barn, guest house and 19,100-square-foot main residence. Lori Carey of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Sarasota Central office brought the buyer.
Designed and built by its owner, Dr. Richard DeVita, the five-bedroom residence is crafted with stone and marble flooring and mahogany woodwork. A great room is framed by 35-foot cathedral ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The gourmet kitchen is infused with Viking appliances, walk-in refrigerator and a brick pizza oven. The master suite has dual bathrooms, a private balcony, Jacuzzi tub, multiple jet shower and a dressing area that leads to a widow's peak.
A movie theater with concession bar, gym, steam shower and a billiards room with a bar are among the home’s exquisite amenities. The outdoor living area encompasses a kitchen and covered dining area that overlook the hot tub and heated swimming pool. The property also includes tennis courts and a playground. An eight-car garage and a 12-bay equipment garage provide a plethora of storage.
The ranch’s exceptional equestrian facilities feature a fully equipped, 22-stall stable with two stable apartments, a horse track and a training facility with an observation room, offices, dressing area and staff kitchen.
The highly-desirable property is conveniently located near the airport, Venice Beach and downtown.
