Loaded with extras and upgrades, you are passing up one of the best priced homes in the area if you miss seeing it. Why pay a King's Ransom in CDD fees to live in LWR? Enter your own kingdom through the gates of Riva Trace leaving the worries of the world behind you. Add a moat and you will complete this castle! This is an oasis of relaxation but just minutes from the conveniences of UTC and the surrounding shopping and dining areas, medical facilities and the interstate. Located West of I-75, offering all the style of Lakewood Ranch but without the expense and traffic! This luxurious residence will surprise and delight you with its clean lines yet cozy interior, three fireplaces, laundry room you could live in, salt water pool, incredibly large yard and extras galore. The 50'x23'garage has doors for three cars offering room for one or two more. If you are a car collector, a craftsman or someone who needs room for storage, all your toys will fit with ease. The lot is over-sized and terraced in the rear, the screened pool area offers covered areas for dining and the extravagant outdoor kitchen. Riva Trace is exclusive & gated offering a kayak/canoe launch onto the Braden River or you can just fish from the dock. Words cannot describe this magnificent home. View both of the virtual tours for photos that showcase so many of the features that make this home and neighborhood truly special. (Unfortunately, no horses or jousting allowed.)
