Price refinement creates an exceptional opportunity!!Welcome to a rare and graceful lakefront residence, set on a private peninsula where tranquil waters surround the property on three sides. With wide-open views across a natural chain of lakes and a backdrop of towering cypress trees, this home offers the quiet beauty of country living paired with the comfort and dignity of a well-built, well-cared-for home. The exterior has been thoughtfully updated with notable improvements, including a Newer Roof (2021), New Upgraded Windows, a Resurfaced Dock, a New Driveway, a New Carport and a New Irrigation System. A huge backyard is completely fenced in with plenty of room for play. Inside, the home features New LVP in the Living room and Kitchen with Brand New Stainless Steel Appliances, a Remodeled Shower in the Primary Bathroom, Five New Individual Mini-split Units throughout—allowing each bedroom, the dining room, the living room and the office/den to have personalized climate control. It’s the kind of smart, understated luxury that simply makes life easier. Flood insurance is only $579 a year! Though the property feels peaceful and secluded, it remains connected to modern conveniences with public water and reliable high-speed internet. The daily comforts of home blend seamlessly with the calm of nature here. Every bedroom and the main living areas capture the lake from nearly every direction, creating spectacular views of this absolutely beautiful lake throughout the day and into the night. By the shoreline, a stone fire pit invites you to linger a little longer outdoors. It’s the kind of spot where laughter carries easily across the water. What truly sets this property apart is its spirit: a place that feels like home the moment you arrive. A place where neighbors still wave, and life slows down just enough to enjoy each season. The friendly neighbors hold frequent social events especially in the winter months as many of them have owned homes here for decades. The street is a loop with one way in and one way out and many walk the loop in the evening for exercise and social time! It's only 5 miles to the town of Inverness so this property strikes the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility. The Withlacoochee State Trail is here for your enjoyment of biking, running or walking. For the hiking enthusiasts, you have popular Citrus Tract Loop A, Whispering Pines City Park: Yellow Trail, Citrus Tract Loop D, Sandhill Loop, and Floral Park! There is also worth mentioning Potts Preserve, Flying Eagle Preserve, Fort Cooper State Park, Half Moon WMA, Citrus WMA, Withlacoochee State Forest, Whispering Pines City Park, Crystal River and Rainbow River! There is just so much nature to enjoy! Properties of this caliber, with this setting and value, are seldom found—particularly lakefront homes of this kind. This is a chance to own not just a home, but a lifestyle that is fast disappearing: peaceful, welcoming, and serene. Come see for yourself. You may find that you’ve been dreaming of this place for a very long time.
