Shamrock Park/Legacy Trail (Bike and Bird Watcher Dream Location)
3276 Ocala Road, Venice, Florida 34293
Property Description
Enjoy this exceptionally well located 2 bedroom home smack-dab on Shamrock Park and the Legacy Trail, with 18.5 miles of biking and bird watching directly out the back door! Walk down the short sandy scrub preserve trail with occasional sightings of the rare scrub-jay hopping around its own sandy habitat, or maybe a big gopher turtle. The Legacy Trail parallels the Venetian Intra-Coastal Waterway with boats constantly coming and going. Biking to the right will take you to the Historic Venice Train Depot, and next to Oscar Scherer State Park which is considered by photographers a dream location. The Trail now extends all the way to downtown Sarasota (18.5 miles). You can also take the short walk left to Shamrock Park & Nature Center with its environmental programs, picnic tables, playgrounds, lit tennis courts, and 1.2 miles of paved and unpaved hiking trails. The enclosed back yard has a 6′ tall chain link fence connecting the house and a kitchen doggie door.
