About this home

Escape to your own tranquil oasis along the Peace River! Tucked away in a serene, golf-cart-friendly golf course community—perfect for relaxing evening sunset rides—this impeccably maintained home offers a rare blend of absolute privacy and incredible deep-water access. With 84 feet of waterfront and a 10,000-pound covered boat lift, where else can you enjoy beautiful views and direct riverfront boating right from your completely secluded backyard? This home is engineered for both ultimate peace of mind and exceptional energy efficiency. It features a massive 21 kWh solar array (41 panels), newly installed 2025 hurricane impact windows, and a 50-amp external circuit ready for a generator. Having experienced no flooding during recent major hurricanes, the property also benefits from an inexpensive, fully transferable flood insurance policy. Step inside to discover a peaceful, open living space highlighted by warm hardwood floors and a gorgeously renovated kitchen equipped with solid wood cabinets and granite countertops. Behind the scenes, everyday comfort is elevated by an on-demand propane water heater, a comprehensive water softener and sulfur filtration system, and recently serviced dual A/C units. Outside, the freshly painted exterior (2025) welcomes you into a truly undisturbed retreat. Surrounded by spectacular, lush landscaping that serves as a natural privacy screen, the outdoor living space features a heated, screen-enclosed saltwater pool. Two soothing waterfall features amplify the feeling of your own hidden sanctuary. Whether you are savoring a quiet morning listening to the waterfalls, hitting the links, taking a neighborhood golf cart cruise, or launching the boat for a day on the water, this property delivers the ultimate tranquil Southwest Florida lifestyle. This type of home is hard to come by—book your private showing today!
