Cash only. Situated on a private 5-acre lot shaded by mature grandfather oak trees, this distinctive estate is located on a quiet semi-private dead-end road and borders more than 10,000 acres of protected nature preserve. Offering exceptional privacy and space, the property presents a rare opportunity for outdoor-focused living just north of Tampa.
The estate includes a 3,700 sq ft Victorian-style main residence built in 1989, a 1,044 sq ft guest house, a custom pool and spa with stone waterfall, two storage sheds, a 40-foot dry storage container, and a designated gun range backstop. Both homes overlook the expansive pool and patio area.
The main residence features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with high ceilings, abundant natural light, and custom architectural details. The entry showcases marble flooring and a double oak winding staircase. The great room includes a tray ceiling, wood-burning fireplace, and stone-style plank tile flooring replaced in 2020, with views of the backyard pool area. The kitchen offers solid wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and opens to the formal dining room. Additional spaces include a custom wood library with built-ins, a conservatory, private office, atrium, and a large wraparound porch.
Upstairs, the primary suite includes an oversized bedroom, walk-in closet, built-in oak cabinetry, granite countertops, double sinks, Jacuzzi tub, separate shower, and a private 18x16 studio. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the second floor. Upstairs laminate flooring was replaced in 2020.
The guest house is configured as two separate units with private entrances, one upstairs and one downstairs. Each unit includes two bedrooms and one bathroom, with one unit featuring a kitchen. Guest house A/C systems were replaced in 2016 and 2021.
Recent improvements include new roofs on both homes in 2020, a complete pool renovation in 2021 with two new pumps and conversion to a saltwater system, septic pump replacement in 2023, septic tanks serviced in 2023, well pump replaced in 2016 with plumbing lines replaced in 2023, chimney serviced in 2020, and HVAC duct cleaning in 2020. Laminate flooring for the entire guest house has already been purchased and will convey to the new owner.
Convenient access to Tampa, Lakeland, and Orlando, and minutes from the Upper Hillsborough Preserve offering hiking, biking, camping, and equestrian trails. A rare opportunity to own a private, multi-residence estate with exceptional flexibility and long-term value.
