11426 Southwest Hendrix Drive

Welcome to Dream River House, where tranquility meets adventure. This property isn’t just an investment… it’s a legacy.

Only a 30-minute drive from Exit 341 off I-75, this nearly 5,000 sqft. fully furnished home sits on over half an acre in the heart of Dunnellon and features over 100 ft of direct Rainbow River access. Step outside and enjoy kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, and more — all from your backyard in the crystal-clear, 72-degree spring water that flows year round. Wildlife sightings include but are not limited to fish, birds, otters, turtles, raccoons, and you might even see the occasional monkey!

As you drive down Hendrix Dr. pass by beautifully fenced open pastures, the winding dead-end road leads you to a flagstone/brick entryway framed by hedges. A large fully fenced (no gate) front yard with mature trees greets you, along with a fire pit and an included shed. Follow the pebble path to the flagstone front porch and enter through double doors. Experience the awe of what this home has to offer. Walk into an expansive open-concept layout where rooms flow seamlessly. View the large entry, kitchen, dining area, living room, recreation space, and a unique conversation pit with gas fireplace. Stairs lead to an upstairs room with a massive rooftop balcony and one of the best views on the Rainbow River. Downstairs, a second primary suite at the front of the home overlooks the yard and features a spacious bedroom, ample closet, and tile bathroom with one of two enormous jetted tubs (plus dual shower heads).

Step through the back sliding doors onto the expansive covered porch and gaze upon your own personal oasis. Enjoy the large enclosed patio, this is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing rainy day. In the right wing, down the hallway by kitchen, you’ll find a quaint guest bedroom with half bath. Continuing through the hallway and into the large master bedroom the en suite awaits. A massive walk in shower with six shower heads, jetted tub and a 200+ sqft. master closet. Adjacent to the en suite is another attached bedroom/office sharing sliding doors with the enclosed patio. Explore the grounds, check out the island and the newly added wooden deck.
This home may have been built in 1967 but in 2012 this home underwent an extensive renovation. It has been operating as a short term rental since 2013 and has a 5 star rating on VRBO. It is sold fully furnished (excluding art) which makes it TURN KEY READY for a family or investor.

Simply float from your backyard and enjoy a peaceful 45 minute - 1 hour float to Swampys. After enjoying a meal and a cocktail, it’s about a .5 mile walk back to the property. Less than a mile away, right across from Hendrix Dr. lies the 2.5 mile gorgeous/paved Dunnellon Trail. Wind through wooded canopies along the Rainbow, and stroll over bridges along Withlacoochee river. Dunnellon Trail then connects to the Withlacoochee State Trail which is an additional 46 miles long. One of the longest paved, continuous rail-trails in Florida (a bikers dream)!
