Welcome to your dream riverside escape! Nestled at the end of a quiet, paved road and embraced by a lush natural landscape, this rare opportunity features two separate parcels—5290 Cyril Drive and 5294 Cyril Drive—sold together as a 200-foot riverfront sanctuary along the beautiful Withlacoochee River. As you arrive, you’ll be greeted by sweeping views of open pastures, whispering woods, and the serene sounds of the river. A true private oasis spanning 3.0 acres, this property radiates peace and seclusion—yet remains just 45 minutes from the vibrant heart of Tampa. 5290 Cyril Drive has been completely renovated and thoughtfully updated, offering a seamless blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Highlights include a new roof, new AC system, updated cabinetry, newer appliances, and a completely remodeled bathroom. Warm Picky Cypress wood walls add cozy character throughout, while the open layout invites natural light and panoramic views of the surrounding greenery and river. Spacious living areas flow easily into a welcoming kitchen with solid wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances—including a cooktop, range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave—and a kitchen/family room combo perfect for everyday connection or casual entertaining. A laundry closet with washer and dryer is conveniently tucked away. 5294 Cyril Drive is a handyman’s dream—a blank canvas ready for transformation. Whether you envision a guest cottage, rental unit, creative studio, or custom home, this property is full of untapped potential. Each parcel comes with its own well and septic system, offering flexibility and autonomy. With no HOA restrictions and zoning that allows for horses, your lifestyle options are limitless.

The irregularly shaped lot adds character and privacy, making this retreat a one-of-a-kind opportunity. Modern amenities include central air and heat, access to cable and high-speed internet, and a well-established infrastructure with well water and septic systems already in place. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful primary residence, a dual-investment opportunity, or a rejuvenating weekend getaway, this property is bursting with charm, serenity, and the natural beauty of Old Florida.
