Under contract-accepting backup offers. Virtually Staged. Some properties you buy. This one, you arrive at. Beyond a gated entrance, a 1,500-foot oak- lined drive delivers you to ten private, fenced acres of Old Florida. Improved pastures, grandfather oaks, and a night sky still full of stars. It's the version of horse country that's become nearly impossible to find: your horses at home, thirty-five minutes to Tampa International, twenty to the Gulf, and an hour to Orlando's theme parks. The custom 3,450 sq ft farmhouse was refreshed for the way you actually live - new kitchen, wood beams, brick columns, and fresh paint inside and out. Four bedrooms, a private office, an oversized bonus or theater room, 3.5 baths, and a mudroom and laundry built for a working farm. Seven sets of French doors open to a 48-foot front porch and a 79-foot covered patio, where a saltwater pool, paver terraces, and an outdoor fireplace turn every evening into a getaway. For the horses: a newly built two-stall barn, three paddocks, and a tack and feed room with water and electric - plus the acreage, layout, and drive-through access to build the barn, arena, or full equestrian facility you've always pictured. Bring the horses now; build the dream on your own timeline. Already handled: a 22kW whole-house Generac generator, a private well with irrigation, a 2017 roof, a three-car garage, and gated, cross-fenced acreage that carries you through any Florida season. Whether you're relocating to Florida, bringing your horses home, or simply craving land, privacy, and quiet - this is the rare, turnkey estate that asks nothing of you but to move in. Ten acres. One gate. A world of your own. Private showings by appointment.
