Meander down a private road to a winding driveway on the west side of Lake Annie, where sunrises are always photo-worthy. When evening comes, view a sky full of stars, planets, or even regular rocket launches. This property breathes Florida of old, yet is situated just 2 miles from Highway 27 daily conveniences such as grocery stores, home improvement, and dining options. Current owners have enjoyed this lakefront escape for the past 22 years. What’s special:
Oversized picture windows capitalize on the landscape and lake views. Screened lanai and Pebble Tec-coated pool blends naturally into the landscape
Cooling travertine flooring downstairs and newly installed warm tile upstairs. Well water keeps utility bills at bay. Fenced pasture across the drive comprises a portion of the 8.5 acres.
