The second bathroom has a tub/shower. The main living space provides comfortable leather seating (sofa, love seat, chair) and flat-screen smart TV with ROKU device for your streaming services. The full size WASHER and DRYER is located off of the kitchen and garage area. A WEIGHTLIFTING set is available for your use in the garage. A PACK-N-PLAY and HIGH CHAIR are available (bring your own linens for the pack-n-play).
Enjoy natural Florida flora and fauna in this expansive, private, quiet setting. Start your mornings watching nature while sipping a hot cup of coffee by the pool, and end your evening on the PRIVATE DOCK watching the sunset with a glass of wine. Paddle around the 65-acre lake in a CANOE. You can enjoy seeing the boaters and skiers, while fishing, sunbathing or simply relaxing on your backyard private dock. If you’re a fishing enthusiast, be sure to bring your fishing gear (and we do have a couple RODS/SOME TACKLE for your use as well). If there is a SPACE LAUNCH you will likely see the rocket from the front driveway.
