Welcome to a home where iconic 1970s character, thoughtful modernization, and an extraordinary resort-style setting come together behind the guarded gates of The Springs. This distinctive 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence has been beautifully preserved while evolving for modern living. Soaring ceilings, walls of natural light, polished concrete slab floors, and an open-concept floor plan create an atmosphere that feels sophisticated, organic, and unmistakably unique. Even better, fully paid-off solar panels add energy efficiency without sacrificing style, and the garage features a Tesla auto charger and solar wall. The home unfolds with dramatic architectural character and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, the private primary suite feels like its own retreat, complete with an ensuite bath featuring double vanities and a private balcony overlooking the spectacular backyard. Throughout the home, original design influences remain celebrated rather than erased, creating a rare combination of warmth, personality, and modern functionality. Outside is where this property becomes truly unforgettable. Designed for enjoying the Florida lifestyle year-round, the backyard is its own private resort featuring a large saltwater swimming pool, raised hot tub, putting green, fire pit, and outdoor sauna. The impressive outdoor kitchen is equipped with a wood-fire pizza oven, grill, bar seating, keg setup, and TVs. Tucked away from the main entertaining areas is an entirely separate private garden & koi pond, creating a quiet escape surrounded by lush greenery. With the smart irrigation and well system included, keeping up with the lawncare is a breeze. Whether hosting a crowd, watching the game from the outdoor bar, or enjoying an evening around the fire pit, this outdoor environment is exceptional. The lifestyle continues beyond the property in The Springs, one of Longwood's most distinctive 24-hour guard-gated communities. Surrounded by natural Florida beauty, residents enjoy exclusive access to historic Sanlando Springs, with its crystal-clear natural spring and sandy beach, along with tennis and pickleball courts, recreation facilities, clubhouse, trails, and private horse stables and equestrian facilities. Few Central Florida communities combine privacy, recreation, and nature quite like this. Ideally positioned in the sought-after Longwood/Wekiva Springs corridor, the home offers convenient access to SR-434 and I-4, connecting you quickly to the dining, shopping, and lifestyle destinations of Longwood, Altamonte Springs, and the Markham Woods corridor. This is not simply a beautifully updated home. It is a property with character, architecture, privacy, and an incredible sense of fun, set within a community unlike anything else in Central Florida. Welcome to 104 Wild Fern Drive and a lifestyle that feels like a getaway every day.
Springs, located between Wekiwa Springs State Park and Rock Springs Run State Reserve, is a nature-forward and low-density Wekiwa Springs neighborhood with spring-fed waterways and sandy pine flatwoods. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Wekiwa Springs Road corridor near the park entrance, where canoe outfitters, local cafés, and trail-ready convenience stops set a weekend-in-the-woods rhythm. Wekiwa Springs State Park anchors daily life with clear-water swimming, paddling launches, and shaded picnic loops. Nearby, Kelly Park’s Rock Springs Run draws tubers and kayakers to a slow, emerald current. Homes skew toward ranch-style and contemporary builds on leafy lots, with screened porches and outdoor storage that fit an active, gear-friendly lifestyle.

The Planned Development (PD) district is intended to facilitate various development types, and combinations thereof, that may be difficult to achieve under conventional zoning regulations. Planned developments shall promote flexibility and creativity in addressing changing social, economic and market conditions, especially where they are used to implement adopted policies of the Comprehensive Plan.; Examples of development concepts that may be appropriate for PD zoning include, but are not limited to, enhanced protection of natural resource areas, mixed use or transit oriented development, and infill development or redevelopment.; Development standards to be implemented within a planned development shall be established by the Board of County Commissioners at the time of rezoning. Such rezoning shall be conditioned upon a master development plan and a written development order. Specific criteria for the development may address, but are not limited to, compatibility with surrounding land uses, road access, availability and efficient use of utility capacity, coordination with transit, etc. Architectural and other appearance-related design elements may be included as approval conditions where the Board finds they are necessary to achieve crucial aspects of the development concept, such as economic feasibility or neighborhood compatibility.; General standards of this Code that are not specific to any zoning district, such as parking, stormwater management, lighting, and landscaping, shall apply within a planned development unless variations are approved through a PD master development plan and/or development order.
