Tucked away behind a private, gated entrance and surrounded by almost 6 acres of serene land, this one-of-a-kind Key West-style retreat offers a lifestyle of peaceful seclusion with every modern upgrade already done for you. As you travel down the long drive, you'll be welcomed by your very own botanical sanctuary—think 5 acres of natural Florida beauty filled with cypress trees and wildlife, all protected conservation wetlands that will never be built on. The moment you step onto the wide paver path leading to the expansive front porch, you’ll know you’ve arrived somewhere special. Inside, elegance meets craftsmanship in a grand foyer that opens into a dramatic great room, anchored by a central whale watch tower soaring 25 feet high with twelve windows that flood the space with golden natural light. Italian travertine tile flows throughout the home, complemented by double crown molding and fine finishes at every turn. The gourmet kitchen is an entertainer’s dream, featuring 42-inch espresso wood cabinetry, a gas range with pot filler, stainless steel apron sink, granite countertops, a new refrigerator (2023), and double convection wall ovens—all designed to inspire your inner chef. This spacious layout includes four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, each with direct access to a walk-in shower and walk-in closet—ideal for multi-generational living or guest privacy. The fourth bedroom easily transforms into a home office or creative studio. The oversized primary suite is a true sanctuary, offering private access to the patio and hot tub. The ensuite bathroom is spa-worthy, complete with dual vanities, a large jetted soaking tub, a separate toilet room, and a massive walk-in closet. Step through the wall of sliding glass doors and into your own tropical escape: a 23,000-gallon resurfaced pool (2024), paver deck, and built-in stainless steel BBQ station, perfect for hosting. Adjacent sits a 36-jet hot tub with views of your private preserve—pure tranquility. The home also boasts a brand-new metal roof (2024), a new six-zone sprinkler system (2024), a fully fenced yard ideal for pets, and sits over 50 feet above sea level. Don’t forget a large two-car garage, dedicated RV/trailer parking pad, and a separate shed for landscaping tools and mower storage. Plus, with no HOA or deed restrictions, your lifestyle is yours to design. You’ll feel a million miles from it all, yet still close to modern conveniences. Ideally situated near I-75, this location offers effortless commuting to Tampa and beyond. Spend your weekends exploring the Tampa Premium Outlets or Shops at Wiregrass, just a short drive away. Golf enthusiasts will love the easy access to nearby courses, while a wide variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment options ensure there’s always something to enjoy close to home. Homes like this don’t come around often, schedule your private tour today and discover the magic of true Florida living.
