Where Space Meets Style in the Heart of Central Florida
Some homes offer a house. This one offers a life. Perched among the rolling hills of Clermont's Sugar Loaf Mountain corridor — one of the few places in all of Florida where the land actually breathes — this fully renovated 5-bedroom, 3-bath estate sits on 7.48 private acres and delivers the kind of space most families only dream about. Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully updated, and it shows. Luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout, setting a clean, modern foundation that ties every room together. The heart of the home is an open-concept living, kitchen, and dining space anchored by stunning wood beams overhead — warm enough to feel like home, elevated enough to impress. The kitchen itself is a dream, with quartz counter tops, under-mount lighting and 9-foot island. While the walk in pantry will make even the most organized family smile. Double sliders erase the line between indoors and out, opening the living space directly to the screened pool and those sweeping hilltop views beyond. The primary suite is a true retreat — a spacious sanctuary finished with an oversized shower that feels more spa than suburb. The additional four bedrooms offer room for everyone, while the fully renovated bathrooms mean that nothing has been left for the next owner to do. The flex room off the kitchen provides the perfect additional space for entertaining or lounging. Outside, 7.48 open acres give your family space to breathe, play, and make your own. The screened-in heated pool/spa is ready for year-round Florida living, framed by views that remind you why you chose this zip code. A 4-car garage handles every hobby, vehicle, and storage need with ease. The entire property is enclosed with no-climb wire fencing — ready for livestock, horses, or hobby farming — with a separate inner fence creating a private yard around the home. A powered woodworking shed adds even more versatility that truly has room for every vision. Whether you're dreaming of a hobby farm, equestrian setup, or simply wide open space that's yours alone, the land delivers. No HOA. No compromises. Just a completely renovated, move-in-ready estate where privacy and style finally coexist — minutes from the Minneola Turnpike, top-rated schools, Crooked Can-Minneola, Montverde Academy, Advent Health and everything Central Florida has to offer. This is the one families wait years to find.
