A beautiful home situated at the end of a private road on 17.5 acres. Yet, within 15 minutes of two major shopping areas. Surrounded by peaceful land, groves and pastures, with beautiful huge oaks and many varieties of palms. It also has an existing pond in the back of the property. New owner has added to its value by 1) entirely fencing in the 17.5 acres, more than a linear mile of fencing, cross-fencing and additional access gates; 2) installing a new, remote-access, security gate; 3) putting in a new 40-foot culvert under the driveway and fording a stream on the property; 4) Entirely regrading & resurfacing the 500-foot long driveway from front gate to house; 5) building a beautiful 1/2+ acre pond and landscaping the periphery; 6) installing a pond fountain with a 4-foot high waterfall, with red, white & blue LED lights set on a photo-electric timer (all with underground cabling), and adding a hidden electrical outlet pond-side for entertaining; 7) palm trees around the periphery of the pond; 8) exotic fruit-bearing trees planted across from the pond on the other side of the driveway; 9) seeding grass where there was none in newly reclaimed, usable land; 10) renovating and staining 3-rail horse fencing around the house itself; 11) finding an existing artesian well, capping it and supplying a pump to naturally fill the pond when water levels decline; 12) Making new walking trails and paths; 13) newly-blacktopping the existing circular driveway; 14) repainting the existing exterior of the house; 15) refurbishing the lovely front-pillared porch; 16) professionally trimming all trees near the house; 17) building, from scratch, a magnificent 32' x 16' lanai, with a new concrete pad, screened-in aluminum structure (half under a roof and half under the stars for entertaining), and exquisite Spanish ceramic tiling; 19) using 4 pallets of sod around this new structure; 20) completely renovating a horse barn; 21) completely renovating - roof, walls, floor, windows, stairs - another larger barn with two work areas; 22) private citrus grove planted near a 3rd structure, a large pole barn. 23) all newly-inspected and repaired metal roofs on structures (entirely new on largest barn), newly painted a brilliant sunshine yellow; 24) and the interior was completely repainted and renovations made where deemed necessary by the owner. Oaks galore. Palms in abundance. Wildlife preserve-like. Ponds, Streams. Security. Privacy. Quiet. Peace. Solitude. Beauty. Who could ask for anything more?
