9489 Swaying Branch Rd
Description
This thoughtfully crafted 4-bedroom,...Welcome to 9489 Swaying Branch Road, a beautifully designed residence located within The Forest at Hi Hat Ranch, an exclusive 270-acre gated community comprised of just 54 estate-sized homesites. This intimate Sarasota enclave is defined by its no-repeat architectural rule, ensuring every home is custom built and truly one of a kind. Surrounded by mature landscaping and preserved natural beauty, the community offers a rare balance of luxury, privacy, and tranquility.
This thoughtfully crafted 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom single-family home spans over 4,500 square feet of living space and is ideally positioned on a premium homesite that is over 3 Acres with peaceful lake views from the rear, along with conservation and street views that enhance both privacy and scenery. The open, flexible floor plan is designed for effortless entertaining and everyday comfort, featuring expansive living areas, soaring ceilings, and abundant natural light throughout.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen is designed for both function and gathering, showcasing quality finishes, generous cabinetry, and seamless flow into the main living spaces. Well-appointed bedrooms and bathrooms provide comfort and privacy for family and guests, while additional bonus spaces provide versatility for a home office, media room, or flex living area.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a screened pool and spa, covered lanai, and tranquil views that create an ideal setting for year-round enjoyment. Notable upgrades include impact-rated windows for hurricane protection, a whole-home generator for uninterrupted peace of mind, a 4-car garage, irrigation system, and a private setting immersed in nature.
Residents of The Forest at Hi Hat Ranch enjoy a secure, gated lifestyle just minutes from Sarasota’s top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and cultural attractions—while still feeling worlds away from it all.
This is a rare opportunity to own a spacious, custom home in one of Sarasota’s most exclusive low-density communities.
