One of the most gorgeous lots in all of Alachua County - 5 private and gated acres filled with native specimens, granddaddy oaks and rolling vistas. Well designed landscaped beds are the backdrop to many native inhabitants including rabbits, deer, turkey and owls. Custom built in 1991 to replicate an authentic Florida cracker style home complete with metal roof, this 3 bedroom materpiece is surrounded on all sides by screened verandas. The home was built in a "pod" configuration, with a master bedroom, sitting room and office addition that has become the second pod and is connected by a glass lined lanae with views of a stunning koi pond. The home has 3110 heated and cooled square feet and features an abundance of wall space for art lovers. Gleaming hardwood floors greet you as you enter through the custom double bronze front doors. Every room has a view of nature and is accessable to the screened veranda via sliding doors. The formal living room features a coral stone fireplace, indirect lighting, and wet bar . The informal living area is spacious enough for comfortable over-sized sofas and chairs and opens to the glass lanai leading to the master suite. Formal dining room has an authentic antelier chandalier and opens to the newly renovated kitchen. New gleaming granite sets the tone in the kitchen with mahagony stained wood cabinets, newer appliances and a charming pot rack above the counter bar area. The guest bedroom is located in the main pod and features a guest bath straight out of Architectural Digest with granite vessel sink and granite and wrought iron vanity. A convenient loft area could be a 3rd bedroom or second office. No detail was overlooked in the planning - a 20 amp hard wired generator services the house in emgergencies, every inch of deck and veranda is screened from underneath to prevent nature's little critters from entering, and the state of the art gate system can be controlled from the house. A detached two car carport features a work bench area, storage, and additional space for a trailer or golf cart. The land this one of a kind estate sits on has been part of the owner's family for over 100 years and the setting cannot be replicated. Come see the spectacular sunsets and you won't want to leave!
