17345 Sweetwater Rd Dade City, FL 33523

Nestled in the heart of coveted Blanton area in Dade City, this extraordinary 16.18-acre property offers a lifestyle that is truly second to none. Comprising three separate legal lots, the possibilities here are as expansive as the land itself — with room for a primary residence and an additional dwelling unit on each lot, this estate is perfectly suited for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, or investment potential.
The 2,573 sq. ft. Cedar home is a masterpiece of warmth and craftsmanship, featuring 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms designed with comfort in mind. Outside there a durable metal roof and inside you'll enjoy soaring vaulted ceilings feature tongue-and-groove stained wood which flow throughout the entire home, creating an atmosphere of rustic elegance. Underfoot, custom slate tile (with stunning Travertine in the Primary Bathroom!) and rich hardwood floors carry through the main living areas, while plush carpet adds a cozy touch in two of the bedrooms. A central vacuum system keeps maintenance effortless, and dual zoned 3-ton air conditioning units — both replaced in 2022 — ensure year-round comfort. The kitchen is appointed with premium stainless steel appliances including a Frigidaire double oven and Bosch cooktop, and the washer and dryer convey with the sale. The home is also wired for a generator hookup, giving you peace of mind in any weather.
Horse enthusiasts will fall in love with the 6-stall center-aisle barn, thoughtfully designed for both function and airflow. Two stalls are connected as a generous 24' x 12' double stall, while the remaining four measure approximately 11' x 12'. The 14-foot-wide center aisle invites natural breezes throughout, and the barn is complete with an air-conditioned tack room and an air-conditioned feed room with utility sink, and a convenient half bath — everything a serious equestrian could ask for. The concrete wash rack has hot and cold water, there are multiple outlets at each stall for fans, and 3 ceiling fans with lights in the barn aisle. The stalls have run out access to the pastures, giving your horses the ability to have the Freedom, Forage, and Friends they so greatly desire and require for happy, healthy lives. The pole barn features nearly 3,000 sq. ft. of concrete flooring and provides ample space for all your toys and projects, including enough room to park 6-8 cars! The pole barn accommodates RV and boat parking with ease, while the 48' x 24' enclosed workshop is wired with 220-volt power — ready for an air compressor, serious equipment, or an RV hookup. Could also easily be insulated and dry walled, creating an additional living or entertaining space.
The property is perimeter-fenced and cross-fenced into four lush pastures, with a beautiful creek meandering through the grounds. A thoughtful balance of open sunshine and mature shade trees creates ideal grazing conditions — bright, healthy pastures where horses can roam and graze, and shaded retreats where they can rest. It's the kind of land that works as hard as you do.
This property is truly move-in ready. A clean four-point inspection has been completed, and the septic tanks have been recently emptied and inspected. The metal roof has more than 17 years of life left in it, 2 new AC units (2022), electrical panel updated in 2018, and a hot water heater that is less than 5 years old.
