Life in Florida is all about the sun, and this lot was selected with the sun in mind. With an eastern Great Room and patio exposure over the water—this home was constructed to welcome sunrises and morning light, which means the home is also well-situated for moonrises and afternoon rainbows. Here in Valencia Cay, you join the highly in-demand Riverland Community. The resort-style living is geared to give you whatever you want: if you prefer a quiet lifestyle, the streets of this gated community have only local traffic and as much peace as you require. If you want to jump into community activities, dozens of clubs and a busy schedule of events put a thriving social life at your fingertips. The Clubhouse with its community pool, bar, and eatery are the hub of the c ommunity, with its stage and ballroom giving space for music, comedy, and other larger-draw events. The Sports and Racquet Club facilities has multiple pools, tennis and pickleball courts, indoor gym and courts, and everything needed for sports and exercise. The Arts and Culture Center provides studio space and art courses, cooking classes, and recreation of a quieter sort. This Heron model features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a den, a laundry room, and a screened patio overlooking the water. The open-concept Great Room looks out over the lake and brings cooking, dining, and living spaces together in a fusion of function and beauty. The master suite shares the lake view and features two closets, one of them a walk-in. The floors are upgraded to a soft wood tone tile that compliments both the light walls and the darker wood of the kitchen cabinetry, and the kitchen includes a brand new dishwasher. Blackout window shades are installed in the bedrooms and den in order to keep that Florida sun under control when you want to sleep in or sneak a nap. Since construction, the home has regularly received EcoShield's preventative barrier treatments, and we are happy that Florida's wildlife has always stayed outside our house. In terms of convenience, this home might be described in two words: "five minutes." Not only can you reach the Riverland amenities quickly, but in about five minutes you can reach grocery stores like Publix, Aldi, and the Fresh Market. Looking for restaurants? Five minutes. Five minutes will take you to medical offices and services like the Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital. Need to hit the road? Five minutes will get you to I-95, where you can head up the coast to watch a launch at Cape Canaveral or down the coast to the glam and bustle of the Palm Beach area. Whether you are an avid animal-watcher or you just casually appreciate a glimpse of nature at play, you are in luck with this waterfront property. Nature will simply present itself to you as you sip a drink in front of the picture window overlooking the lake. In July alone, the following species were seen and photographed from the house: Tricolor Heron, Sandhill Crane, Anhinga, Wood Stork, Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Mottled Duck, Common Gallinule, Cattle Egret, Swallow-Tailed Kite, Osprey, Double-Crested Cormorant, Black-Bellied Whistling Duck, Little Blue Heron, and an honest-to-goodness Bald Eagle. With the Atlantic Ocean and the Everglades close by, it is not difficult to find adventures in Nature, but it is a real pleasure at Valencia Cay to have Nature put on a show for you from the comfort of your own home.
