One of the property’s most remarkable features is the expansive 65-acre turtle preserve directly behind the home, offering peaceful natural views, added privacy, and no rear neighbors.

Outdoor living and convenience continue with a circular driveway providing additional parking, a 1.5-car garage, and a separate golf cart garage. A remote-controlled garage screen adds comfort and ventilation, while a water filtration system provides an added everyday convenience. The bond is PAID, offering another valuable advantage for the next owner. Ideally situated near the Savannah Center and Southern Trace Shopping Plaza, with convenient access to shopping, dining, golf, recreation, and entertainment throughout The Villages, this home offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy an active lifestyle while savoring the privacy and natural beauty of a preserve-fronting backyard.
