About This Home

Welcome to your private sanctuary on the shores of Lake Alto, where 330 feet of pristine white-sand frontage meets a masterfully reimagined estate. Nestled on 3+ lush acres of mature oaks and fruit trees, this 4,371 sq. ft. custom home offers a rare sense of seclusion—the perfect balance of rural peace and city convenience. The north & east sides of the lake are conservation lands, known as the Alachua County long-leaf pine preserve, which means no neighbors across the lake, ensuring your sunset views remain untouched forever. Step inside to the soothing sound of the indoor water feature before being drawn into the massive 650 sq. ft. Great Room. With soaring ceilings, a statement stone gas fireplace, and a full wet bar, this space is framed by French doors that lead to a deck spanning the entire length of the home. The chef’s kitchen is a culinary dream, featuring a commercial-grade natural gas stove, double stainless refrigerators, and a cozy breakfast nook overlooking the water. Retreat to the primary wing, a first-floor haven with dual walk-in closets and private deck access. Outside, the "Lake Life" is effortless: take a dip in the 18.5-foot sunken swim spa, or head down the wooden pier to your covered electric boat lift. Only 25 minutes from UF Health/Shands Hospital. Whether you're navigating the canal to Lake Santa Fe or enjoying the quiet serenity of spring-fed Lake Alto, a 575 acre lake with only 28 homes on it, this is more than a home—it’s a legacy property.
