About This Home

Live in the heart of Safety Harbor and experience an extraordinary blend of privacy, luxury, and natural beauty. This exceptional, one-of-a-kind property spans nine full lots and directly backs to Folly Farm Nature Preserve, a peaceful, 10-acre urban sanctuary—providing a rare sense of space, seclusion, and connection to nature just steps from downtown.

The 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom main home has been meticulously remodeled from top to bottom, showcasing modern elegance, thoughtful upgrades, and high-quality craftsmanship throughout. The chef’s kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances, a natural gas range, refrigerator with dual icemakers, reverse osmosis water filtration, and sleek countertops. Additional upgrades include a natural gas tankless water heater, custom Levolor remote-control blinds, updated lighting and flooring, and spacious open living areas that flow effortlessly for entertaining and daily comfort.

Step outside into your resort-style private oasis, designed for both relaxation and celebration. The heated saltwater pool and spa feature a Pebble Sheen finish, a fully automated self-cleaning system, and a 400k BTU gas heater for year-round enjoyment. The large screened-in lanai includes a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, making it the perfect space to host gatherings. The outdoor living continues with an open-air deck, gazebo overlooking the yard and preserve, 1.6 acres, a large fire pit area, and lush, mature landscaping—including 10 fruit-bearing trees and pollinator-friendly garden beds.

A versatile poolside building is ideal for a home gym, office, or creative studio, already wired and prepped for a mini-split A/C system. Additional features include a shallow well with a 10-zone irrigation system (offering cost-free watering), RV parking with electric hook-up, a garden shed, and ample room for expansion.

This unique property comes with no deed restrictions and no flood insurance required due to its high elevation—providing the kind of freedom and flexibility rarely found in the area. Whether you envision a private compound, a multi-generational estate, or wish to develop or sell off a few lots while keeping your sanctuary intact, the options are truly endless.

Located just half a mile from Safety Harbor’s vibrant downtown, which is golf cart friendly, you’ll enjoy easy access to charming shops, restaurants, art festivals, and community events like the weekly Farmers Market and Third Friday celebrations. Nearby parks such as Philippe Park and Safety Harbor City Park with waterfront trails, playgrounds, and extensive recreational amenities. Plus, you're just 15 miles from Tampa International Airport and 10 miles to Clearwater Beach, with convenient routes to Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a private retreat in one of Tampa Bay’s most desirable communities. Whether you're looking for space to entertain, expand, invest, or simply unwind—this property delivers unmatched lifestyle, location, and potential.
