This is a rare chance to own a true Florida lifestyle property on private, spring-fed Cooper Lake—over 80 acres of open water perfect for boating, jet skis, water skiing, and large mouth bass fishing. The home sits high and dry. Even the worst storms in recent years didn't cause any flooding or damage. Step out your back door to a private boat ramp, boathouse, and kayak launch. Spend the day fishing, skiing, or just cruising. A huge dock with new composite decking, framing, and pilings gives you plenty of room to relax or entertain. The screened-in porch and backyard offer quiet views of the water. Watch herons, ducks, and otters glide by while you drink your morning coffee or cast a line off the dock. the fenced in section gives plenty of room for a dog to freely roam the yard. Inside, the freshly painted living area has vaulted ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling wood-paneled wall, and a custom wood-burning or gas fireplace—bringing just the right amount of rustic comfort to this Florida home. The upstairs loft is a great spot for a reading chair, office nook, or workspace. The primary suite is oversized with a huge walk-in closet, all-new windows, and room for a sitting area or additional furniture. The primary bathroom has been fully renovated with a gorgeously tiled walk-in shower and octagon tile floors. Two more bedrooms offer flexibility and water views—one upstairs and another downstairs with private garage access, ideal for guests, a study, or a lounge.
