Under contract-accepting backup offers. Custom McKenzie Estate on 3/4 Acre in Winding River–Private River Access, Chef’s Kitchen, No CDD.

This isn’t just a home–it’s the life you’ve been looking for.
Tucked beneath a canopy of old-growth oak trees on a private 3/4 Acre lot in Winding River, this 3,166 sq ft custom McKenzie built home delivers the rare combination of luxury finishes, thoughtful design, and genuine connection to nature.
The heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen built for someone who actually cooks–Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, dual islands, quartz counters, and solid wood cabinetry. It opens seamlessly into the Great Room anchored by a stone electric-start fireplace, with a separate formal dining room when the occasion calls for it.
Three bedrooms. Three full baths. A dedicated home office behind double doors for the remote professional. A bonus room with its own full bath and pocket door–perfect as a guest suite, studio, or fourth bedroom.
Step through the quad pocket slider onto the oversized screened lanai with ceiling fans and outdoor speakers, and look out at what very few Florida homes can offer: a massive, private backyard framed by mature oaks. A custom paver walkway leads to the fire pit, strung with low-voltage lights, facing Southwest for sunsets that stop you mid-sentence.
The details matter here. Impact windows throughout. Multi-zone Trane HVAC. Flat tile roof. Tankless gas water heater. Icynene-insulated oversized 3-car garage with rear fourth door. Owned security system. Smart home ready. Pool plan available–the lot is made for it.
Winding River is an exclusive 62-home community spread across 107 acres on the banks of the Manatee River. Residents enjoy a private boat ramp with direct river access, nature trails, basketball court, playground, and park–all with no CDD fees. HOA includes lawn care and irrigation.
Minutes to Costco, First Watch, and The Marketplace at Heritage Harbour. Top rated schools. Quick access to I-75, SR-64, Gulf beaches, and downtown Sarasota.
