Set your sights on the epitome of lakeside luxury in this incredible five-bedroom, five-bathroom residence perfectly perched on 12 picturesque acres on the private, spring-fed Smith Lake. Every inch of this 4781 sq. ft. custom home in Belleview, Florida, has been meticulously designed and exquisitely crafted with the modern family in mind.
As you step over the threshold, you are graced with 26' high ceilings and engineered Brazilian hardwood flooring. Your path leads you to a gourmet kitchen outfitted with premier stainless steel appliances, featuring dual dishwashers and ovens, sleek granite countertops, and custom cabinetry. The sizable walk-in pantry is a home-chef's dream, and a convenient beverage station with a wine fridge acts as the perfect prelude to a chic dining room, complete with a tray ceiling.
Find tranquillity in the first-floor master suite, catching serene sights of the pool and lake. Ideal for those working from home, an adjoining office provides the ultimate convenience. The master bathroom is a spa-like retreat, showcasing double vanities, a corner jetted tub, an oversized walk-in shower, and a separate water closet.
The first floor doesn't stop there. It further hosts a guest bedroom with an antique-style bathroom, a laundry room, another full bathroom adjacent to the pool, and a games room offering uninterrupted views of the pool and lake. The crowning jewel is the astonishing great room – a roomy haven with a wood-burning fireplace and floor-to-ceiling views.
Moving upstairs, be greeted by three additional bedrooms, with access to well-appointed bathrooms. Two charming spaces currently function as a reading nook and a homework area. Refreshingly flexible, the upstairs also boasts a media room that could be converted into a sixth bedroom. A second laundry room ensures practicality, and access to a spacious attic promises plenty of storage.
Outdoor life will be equally spectacular. A 425’-long peaceful lake-side backyard features a swimming pool, hot tub and built-in fire pit. The 300' dock, built from durable composite material, guides you to a multi-level boat dock, armed with twin floating jet ski docks and an electric boat lift. You'll also find a separate building that houses a two-bedroom apartment, a one-car garage, and expansive storage large enough to accommodate an RV.
Just 25 minutes from downtown Ocala, The Villages, and 40 minutes from WEC, this hidden gem is well-located to satisfy all your needs. Even better, it offers instant equity with a most recent bank appraisal at 1.8M in 2023. So, why wait? Start setting the stage for the rest of your life in this remarkable lakeside haven.
