Discover the perfect balance of peace and convenience with this one-of-a-kind property! Nestled on 5.43 acres of stunning land, this home offers the tranquility of country living while keeping you just minutes from major highways, shopping centers, and everyday essentials. This exceptional property is framed by towering oak trees, including a magnificent centuries-old oak that greets you at the entrance—a living landmark that sets the tone for the peace and history found here. Inside, the home shines with brand-new porcelain tile floors (2025) throughout and a designer-updated kitchen boasting black stainless appliances, generous counter space, and plenty of storage. The formal dining room is spacious and inviting, with sliding glass doors that open to tranquil backyard views. The primary suite offers a peaceful escape with its en-suite bath and large walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath sit privately on the opposite side of the home. Recent updates provide comfort and peace of mind: the A/C units for both the home and mancave were replaced in 2025, along with the water heater (2025), ensuring efficient, worry-free living. Outside, the property is full of surprises. The insulated “man cave” workshop is fully equipped with new AC (2025), a dehumidifier, abundant storage, and workspace, plus a double-door entry measuring 9 ft tall by 10 ft wide—perfect for projects big or small. A cozy “she shed” offers another private escape, while the expansive outdoor patio is the perfect place to relax and take in the sights and sounds of nature. Deer, wild turkey, and owls often wander the property, adding to its serene charm. And the best part? No HOA! With 5.43 acres of usable land, you’re free to bring your RV, horses, toys, and animals. A 1hp submersible well pump ensures you’ll always have more than enough water—truly, “enough to service a small village. ” You’ll also find many old-growth camphor trees, long leaf pines, camphor, cypress, and native (wild) FL orange trees, and an abundance of large shade trees, which not only add beauty and character but also naturally help keep mosquitoes at bay. This property is a rare find—a home, a retreat, and a piece of history all in one. Here, every oak and camphor tree has a story, and now it’s ready to be part of yours.
