The large fenced backyard extends to the Apalachee River, where you can launch your kayak directly from your own backyard and enjoy peaceful days floating the river. Two screened porches—one on the main level and one on the terrace level—provide year-round enjoyment of the serene surroundings. As an added bonus, the community's exceptional amenities are located just two lots away and include approximately 30 acres of HOA-owned riverfront property featuring picnic areas, covered gathering spaces, restroom facilities, and endless opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of the Apalachee River. Rarely does a property offer this level of privacy, acreage, river access, luxury amenities, and flexible living space in one extraordinary package. This is more than a home—it's a lifestyle.
