Welcome to 8 private and secluded acres of 'old Florida charm' and country living. Your cares will disappear as you drive down the winding gravel driveway, and see the open pasture to the left, and wooded oak hammocks to the right. You'll want to just sit and relax on your front porch swing, and gaze out over the pond and woods. This majestic 2-story home has almost 3,000 sq.ft. of living space for you to make your own. Enter the foyer, and your eyes will be drawn to the rustic wood beams and natural wood ceiling in the great room, you'll want to curl up with a good book next to the wood burning stove, that could heat the house in the cooler winter months! There are also 5 sets of French doors overlooking the pool and screened lanai, throughout this home. The kitchen is well appointed, with stainless steel appliances, wall oven, a gas cooktop, an abundance of tiled counter space, huge pantry, and a dining area for your grand farm table! The 2nd floor master bedroom has vaulted beamed ceilings, and a private balcony overlooking the pond, pool, and woods, that give you a birds eye view of your land. There's a huge walk-in closet, garden tub, separate shower, bidet, and makeup area. The first floor has 3 more bedrooms, a private office room with storm shelter safe room, and an oversized recreation room in the rear that is so nostalgic, reminiscent of a 50's diner, complete with booths, wet bar area, juke box, pool table, and so much more!
