It's not often an estate becomes available -at least not an estate as spectacular as this one! This majestic property is located near the end of a private 1-lane road surrounded by centuries old oak trees for that ''old Florida'' feel. It sits on over 5 acres of wonderful, pristine Florida land complete with natural beauty and the wildlife that comes with it: turkeys, deer, hawks, just to name a few.

The main house is a two-story, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 4,481sqft heated and cooled, block home with a brick and stucco exterior. As you enter the home, you are greeted a formal living area with a wood-burning grand fireplace and 20' ceilings with large windows overlooking the beautiful grounds at the rear of the home and dual French doors leading to the covered lanai.
