From the moment you drive through the private security gate, you know you're about to see something special! As you enter the long private driveway, there is plenty of parking along the left side, including an RV hookup. On the right side is the fenced-in area the goats and hens call home. Continue down the path and you'll find even more parking, including the two-car garage. Enter through the brand-new front double doors and you will see that this one-of-a-kind waterfront estate has been completely remodeled from top to bottom. The metal roof is two years old, AC #1 is two years old, AC #2 was rebuilt two years ago, two new hot water heaters (50 and 80 gallon), pool resurfaced, all bathrooms updated, Trex composite decking, new carpet in bedrooms, new tile throughout common areas, and both septic systems are only two years old. The gourmet kitchen is absolutely beautiful featuring Quartz countertops, new stainless-steel appliances, new backsplash, stove pot filler, double oven, and more than enough cabinet space. The soaring high ceilings in the family room accentuate the massive wood-burning fireplace. All four of the bedrooms are oversized, including two master suites. The master bathroom shower is so nice, you may never want to get out. And don't forget to inquire about the two secret closets. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, take a trip to the backyard. The screened-in pool area overlooks the back half of this nearly one-acre property. Continue down the walkway from the pool and make your way to the huge party deck with breathtaking views of the Alafia River. Below the deck is the boathouse with a 12,000 pound boatlift. This unique tropical paradise has everything you do want and nothing you don't, including NO FLOOD INSURANCE and NO HOA or CDD. This is "Old Florida" living at its absolute finest. Just a short boat ride down the river to Tampa Bay and the open waters of the Gulf. If you prefer to travel by car, Hwy. 301 and I-75 are only a few minutes away, providing easy access to Tampa, Orlando, and Sarasota.
