Fall in love with the warmth, craftsmanship, and unmistakable character of this one-of-a-kind owner-built estate nestled on 5 beautiful acres. Surrounded by mature trees and large stretches of neighboring farmland, the property captures both an Old Florida, laid back feel with a level of care and detail that’s hard to find today… this is the kind of home where “they don’t make them like this anymore” truly rings true.

Feel welcomed as you step through a double-door entry into a natural slate tiled foyer, rich living room, and striking staircase that is a tribute to the craftsmanship carried throughout the home. The living room is the heart of the home- featuring tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, knotty pine wood walls all anchored by a classic wood burning brick fireplace that evokes a cozy lodge-inspired feel. The first floor features a full bathroom with antique inspired tile, a formal dining area, spacious kitchen with eat-in dining nook, and a separate living room with its own wood-burning fireplace.
