About This Home

Welcome to your own private slice of Central Florida paradise. Located between Tampa and Orlando, this gorgeous farmhouse property on over 5 acres offers the ultimate homesteading lifestyle without sacrificing modern convenience. Situated just 5 miles from I-4, you can enjoy a quiet country retreat and still maintain an easy commute to either major city. Step inside the beautifully updated home to find a bright, welcoming layout designed for easy modern living. The heart of the home features a spacious, open kitchen area boasting stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinet and pantry storage, and a convection oven—perfect for preparing large meals and hosting memorable gatherings. Car enthusiasts, contractors, or truck owners will love the oversized two-car garage, specifically designed with the depth and clearance to comfortably fit two full-size trucks. The home provides total peace of mind with major structural upgrades, including a new roof and AC systems. A standout feature of the interior is the versatile, fully air-conditioned bonus room located right off the back porch—perfectly suited for a quiet home office, creative hobby space, or studio. Built to withstand weather, this property has remained dry through the Florida hurricane seasons. For ultimate storm readiness, the main electrical panel comes fully wired with a dedicated generator hookup. The acreage itself is a dream come true: a beautiful blend of open land and partly wooded areas and a flowing creek. The entire property is fully fenced and cross-fenced, making it entirely turn-key for livestock or horses. Equestrian and hobby farming enthusiasts will appreciate the 2-stall barn, custom chicken coop, dedicated garden area, and thriving fruit trees. Keeping the grounds lush is effortless thanks to two private wells powering an extensive underground irrigation system. Whether you are looking to cultivate your own mini-farm, trail ride, or simply escape the neighbors, this rare property delivers it all. The home is move-in ready and priced at appraised value to sell - call today for your private tour! This sale also includes Parcel #232712000000032440, an additional 0.72 acres that is fenced to use as a grazing pasture for animals or an incredible investment for a future homesite.
