The story
- Waterfront
Live between TWO lakes on this property with TWO custom homes and oversized barn. Escape to your own private sanctuary in North Central Florida. Nestled on more than 40 wooded acres with waterfront on both Lake Santa Fe and Hickory Pond, this extraordinary estate offers two architecturally distinctive custom Deltec homes designed to seamlessly blend indoor living with the beauty of the natural surroundings. The main residence spans 2,422 square feet and features three bedrooms and two full baths. From the moment you step through the front door, expansive windows and abundant natural light create the feeling of being immersed in nature. Thoughtful custom finishes include granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, Mohawk RevWood flooring, and pine tongue-and-groove ceilings throughout. The private primary suite lives like a home of its own, featuring sliding glass doors that open directly to the wraparound porch. Dual walk-in closets provide abundant storage, including one with its own vanity area. An additional private room accessed through one of the closets offers additional space that could be utilized as a meditation room, a safe room, or simply more storage. A quiet retreat off the primary suite offers endless possibilities as a reading room, office, yoga space, or studio. A separate wing of the home is where you will find the additional 2 bedrooms and bathroom, as beautifully crafted as the rest of the home. Expansive porches invite peaceful mornings and stunning sunset evenings overlooking towering oaks, native landscapes, and abundant wildlife. A whole-home Generac gas generator powered by a 1,000-gallon propane tank ensures uninterrupted comfort and peace of mind. The second custom Deltec home mirrors the same exceptional craftsmanship and design, offering 1,072 square feet with two bedrooms, two baths, an open-concept kitchen with induction oven, custom cabinetry, abundant storage, and a fully secured safe room. Built for resilience and efficiency, Deltec homes are renowned for their strength, durability, and storm-resistant design. The impressive 60x60 two-story barn offers unmatched versatility for recreation, storage, workshop space, or equestrian use. Far beyond a traditional barn, it includes a full kitchen, loft living area with enclosed bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, oversized temperature-controlled pantry, and a wood-burning stove. Additional property features include a 10x30 greenhouse on a concrete slab, multiple raised garden beds, three septic systems, and two 265-foot-deep wells with a full water treatment system. Wooded walking paths wind through the property, ending with 1000 feet of frontage of Hickory Pond, and 583 feet of frontage on Little Lake Santa Fe on the opposite end of the property. Starlink internet provides the high-speed capabilities needed for working from home. This is more than a property — it is a rare legacy estate offering privacy, self-sufficiency, waterfront beauty, and an unmatched connection to nature. Although you feel far from it all here, it is a short drive to Gainesville and stores like Fresh Market, Publix and the University of Florida. All less than 30 minutes away.
