1605 Center Rd, Terra Ceia, FL 34250

Built elevated and storm-tested, this exceptional rental offers the kind of peace of mind and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find on Florida's Gulf Coast. The home has never flooded during Helene, Milton, or any prior storm, and sits on over an acre backing directly onto protected preserve land, meaning no rear neighbors, permanent green space, and serene natural views year-round. Constructed in 2021 and built to modern post-2015 standards, the home features hurricane impact windows and doors throughout, elevated construction, and a durable roof designed for Florida coastal living. Whether you are relocating, working remotely, or simply looking for a more private lifestyle, this property combines comfort, security, and flexibility in a way few rentals can. The covered back porch was designed as an extension of the living space, complete with fully opening French doors that create seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The porch has already been roughed-in for an outdoor kitchen, and a built-in mosquito misting system allows for comfortable outdoor living and entertaining throughout the year. Inside, the home centers around an expansive open-concept living area and chef's kitchen featuring a premium induction cooktop, double built-in ovens with convection and air-fry capability, a walk-in pantry, and dedicated beverage refrigerator. Large windows and open sightlines maximize the preserve views and natural light throughout the main living areas. The spacious primary suite overlooks the preserve and includes remote-controlled window coverings, double vanities, a walk-in shower, private water closet, and a custom-designed walk-in closet. A split floor plan places two additional bedrooms with custom closet systems on the opposite side of the home, connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. A flexible bonus room can function as a home office, den, playroom, or optional fourth bedroom depending on your needs. Additional features include an attached two-car garage, detached garage/workshop with space for two additional vehicles or storage, RV hookup, full home security system, interior-controlled exterior lighting, and custom closet build-outs throughout the home. The oversized lot provides rare breathing room and flexibility, whether you want extra outdoor space, room for recreational vehicles, or simply a quieter setting away from dense neighborhood development. Conveniently located less than 5 minutes from water access, 20 minutes to St. Petersburg, 25 minutes to Gulf beaches, and 30 minutes to Sarasota, the property also includes access to the Village Improvement Association (VIA), featuring Sea Breeze Park with a playground, pickleball court, pavilion, and boat launch. HOA membership also provides access to an additional private boat launch and dock. If you have been searching for a private coastal rental with modern construction, preserve views, storm-tested resilience, and room to spread out, 1605 Center Road delivers a lifestyle that is nearly impossible to replicate in today's rental market.
