Description

14 acres! 14 acres! Imagine what life would be like living in privacy on 14 acres. At the very end of a paved road... this is as private as it comes but still relatively close to shopping, restaurants, beaches, night life, arts and culture. Put on boots and jump in the car and come out to explore this property. Paths through the back of the property go on and on. The front is cleared and waiting for cows or horses. The back is old Florida native flora and fauna. One weekend of hard work and the barn...14 acres! 14 acres! Imagine what life would be like living in privacy on 14 acres. At the very end of a paved road... this is as private as it comes but still relatively close to shopping, restaurants, beaches, night life, arts and culture. Put on boots and jump in the car and come out to explore this property. Paths through the back of the property go on and on. The front is cleared and waiting for cows or horses. The back is old Florida native flora and fauna. One weekend of hard work and the barn will be ready for 4-5 horses. The house is a block home on a slab foundation, open floor plan great for entertaining. Bring personalized decorating ideas and make this a house a forever home. It is a 2 bedroom, 1 & 1/2 bath home now, with a little renovating it can easily be a 3 or 4 bedroom home with 2 bathrooms. The HUGE picture window located in the back of the house off of the kitchen and family room combo floods the space with natural light and is a BRILLANT view of nature day after day. The Granddaddy Oaks, Florida scenery and wildlife that come up in the back yard makes this place PRICELESS! If sitting at the table in front of the window sipping coffee and flipping through the iPad while deer and turkeys stroll across the back yard sounds like a dream come true then come and see this house! This house has a really nice fireplace. Gas stove in the kitchen with a propane tank outdoors, so the chef of the house will love cooking with gas. Keeps sounding better right? And do not forget about the pool! So private that even skinny dipping in the pool would would not be an issue. It is very quiet at night, actually quiet all the time. No traffic on the road and the home is set way back off the road with a long driveway. Experience beautiful sunsets, starry nights and gorgeous sunrises year around. No deed restrictions or HOA, zoned OUR. Bring the horses and livestock, plant a garden, grow blueberries, park the boat, horse trailer and RV all. Ride 4 wheelers and ATV's all around the property. The possibilities are ENDLESS! Next time there is a quarantine the new owners of this farm will not mind. Also an old driveway comes from the road to the back of the barn down the west side of the property that could be handy in bringing in horse trailers or boat, etc. There is plenty to do and with the acreage there will never be cabin fever. Partially perimeter fenced. Priced to sell. Photographs do not do the property justice.
