Imagine living in the forest with all the modern-day conveniences your heart desires on your property & just beyond. Private doesn’t begin to properly describe this stunning 1.44-acre luxury retreat with expansive nature & water views from almost every room of the home. Direct access to Williams Creek on your property affords you the opportunity to not only take in views but to personally enjoy life on the water in your Kayak, Canoe, Jet Ski, or a small flat haul boat. Just feet beyond William’s creek you enter the Braden River where you can enjoy miles of breath-taking nature, endless fishing spots, & explore your way to the manatee river & beyond. This custom-built home was thoughtfully designed as a solid, low maintenance home & positioned for ultimate privacy, setting the stage for some of the most beautiful sunsets you will ever experience. The exterior masonry structure & stone create natural beauty that never needs to be painted. The extra wide overhangs bring added protection & energy efficiency while allowing great natural sunlight throughout the home. The home was purposely built up to create a unique waterfront living opportunity while staying high & dry during the wettest of seasons. Garage & secondary bedrooms are supported by a stem wall with filled slab & the other portions of the home are elevated by solid block pillar structures providing a generous crawl space below. The back of the property extends midway through William’s Creek, giving you true waterfront ownership & opportunity to add a dock if desired. Travertine floors throughout complement the low maintenance, nature design of the home. Great features & updates will be experienced throughout and include a New Roof in 2023, New Water Heater in 2023, New HVAC in 2024, & New sprinkler pump 2025. In 2023 a new Washer, Dryer, Refrigerator & dishwasher were also purchased. Beautiful Solid wood Cabinetry & Quartz Counters were added in full bathrooms & laundry room. Plenty of outdoor enjoyment on your large screened back porch & massive 34x15 multi-tiered sun deck. Enjoy several trails throughout your property. Create epic scavenger hunts your friends & family will remember for years to come. This property was developed with entertaining in mind both inside & out but also creates the perfect sanctuary for escaping from daily life. A portion of the property has been thoughtfully fenced in for your furry friends and littles with 4’ black iron fence, adding a layer of safety without taking away from the natural beauty of the property. The 3 Car garage walls & floor were just painted & has dual storage closets. Outside deck was recently painted and sealed. Kitchen Cabinets have been professionally painted and sealed. Flooring was added to the attic increasing your storage capacity. All lights, fans, faucets, fixtures & hardware have been updated throughout the home as well & there is fresh carpet in all bedrooms. The landscaped portions of the property have recently been refreshed, and the rest is on mother nature’s low maintenance plan. This isn’t just a home, it’s an experience. River Forest is a quaint neighborhood thoughtfully planned to add to Florida’s natural beauty, not take from it. Each home has been thoughtfully placed on the property for owners’ maximum enjoyment & keeping privacy for all. With only 25 front doors it is highly sought after but rarely attainable. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a stunning home in this hidden gem of a neighborhood.
