Welcome to 9291 Swaying Branch Road, an exceptional private estate in The Forest at Hi Hat Ranch, one of Sarasota's most exclusive gated communities. Set on 5.59 acres-among the largest homesites in this 270-acre, 54-residence enclave-this property offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and refined Florida living. This beautifully appointed single-story residence features four bedrooms, including an oversized fourth bedroom that can easily be transformed into a bonus room, theater, game room, or fitness space. Three additional generously sized bedrooms each feature a private en-suite bath, while two dedicated studies provide ideal space for working from home. Beautiful wood flooring, recently installed by the current owner, extends throughout the home. The outdoor living experience is equally impressive. A secluded saltwater pool is surrounded by mature landscaping and expansive entertaining areas, while the covered lanai, gourmet outdoor kitchen, and fire pit create an inviting setting for entertaining or relaxing in complete privacy. The chef's kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele range and oven, and dedicated wet bar with wine refrigerator. Additional features include hurricane-impact windows, foam-insulated attic space, a whole-home water filtration system with reverse osmosis in the kitchen, and prewiring for a whole-home generator. The expansive 5.59-acre homesite also offers exciting possibilities for future customization, with ample room to add a separate guest casita, additional garages, or other desired improvements, subject to applicable approvals. The Forest at Hi Hat Ranch offers a truly distinctive lifestyle with just 54 custom residences, each uniquely designed, while remaining conveniently close to Sarasota's top-rated schools, shopping, dining, beaches, and cultural attractions. 9291 Swaying Branch Road is a rare Sarasota estate offering remarkable acreage, privacy and exceptional potential for the next owner-all just minutes from the best of Sarasota.
