In real estate, they say it’s all about location — but every now and then, you find a property that offers both location and lifestyle. “Laissez les bons temps rouler,” as they say in Louisiana: let the good times roll... right here in Central Florida.

Set on 11.49 high and dry, fully fenced acres with a spring-fed pond and fishing pier, this custom-built home offers the perfect blend of farmhouse fancy and southern soul. From the 100-year-old front door to the board and batten Hardie siding, impact-rated double-hung windows (2023), and steel-edged red rock landscaping, every inch of this property has been thoughtfully curated.

Inside, the heart of the home is a magazine-worthy kitchen with reclaimed tin accents, subway tile, solid wood cabinetry, and a reclaimed wood center island that’s both a conversation piece and a culinary hub. Flowing seamlessly into the sunroom, dining, and oversized living area, this layout is ideal for entertaining, relaxing, and living your best life under the Florida sun.

The designated office is the kind of space that inspires — perfect for working from home, writing that book on your heart, or soaking up the abundance of natural light through custom windows that nearly span the width of the entire wall.

The primary suite is a retreat in itself, featuring dual walk-in closets and a bathroom that looks like it was pulled straight from the pages of Southern Living — clawfoot tub, vintage accent tile, antique vanity furniture, and a custom walk-in shower.

The rest of the home is equally stylish and truly move-in ready — everything conveys: every sign, every frame, every handpicked piece of decor — with the exception of the primary suite. This is a turnkey, immersive experience.

This is country living with class, old soul with new systems, and peace without isolation. Built in 1997 and completely reimagined, this 2 bed, 2 bath, 2,258 sqft block home blends durability with undeniable charm. They say you have to see it to believe it — and this one leaves no doubt.

Outdoors? That’s where the magic continues. By day, relax in the saltwater pool (2023), shaded by an expansive porch featuring tongue and groove wood ceilings, authentic brick detail, and serene views of your private pond nestled beneath a canopy of moss-draped oaks. As evening falls, unwind by the wood-burning stove on the patio and take in breathtaking sunsets stretching across the pasture, framed once again by those graceful, mossy oaks. Your own backyard looks like a magnificent work of art.

Need room to woodwork or store toys? You’ve got it all:
• 40x30 barn (1,200 sqft)
• Full workshop with spray foam insulation
• Upstairs is another 300sqft of storage area
• Backside of barn for equipment storage
• And don’t miss the game just because you’ve got chores — there's a fully outfitted recreational area (15x30) just off the double doors.

Centrally located in the heart of Sumter County. Minutes from I-75, The Villages, and an easy commute to the Florida Turnpike. Only one hour to Tampa International and/or Orlando International Airport. Paved and gated private entry. This home is very easy to show — but by appointment only.

Let the good times roll... this is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle.
