3011 WOODLAND FERN DRIVE Under contract-accepting backup offers. Under $350K for a pool home in Parrish? And not in an age-restricted community? Say less. Tucked beneath mature shade trees and surrounded by lush, established landscaping, this pool home is located in The Hammocks at River Wilderness, a sought-after maintenance-free enclave inside one of Parrish’s most desirable gated communities. With 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a private pool, preserve views, and a flexible layout full of potential, this home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, solid construction, and a peaceful setting while still having room to make it your own. Inside, you’ll find an inviting floor plan with a den just off the primary suite, perfect for a home office, reading room, or quiet retreat. The primary suite also opens to a separate sitting porch overlooking the preserve, which basically screams morning coffee, good book, no one talk to me yet. Outside, the private pool creates the perfect place to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy Florida living without needing to leave your own backyard. And the best part? Some of the big-ticket items are already done, including a newer tile roof and newer HVAC system. This home is also part of my Signature Home Program, meaning roughly 20 pre-listing “chores” were completed before hitting the market to give buyers extra confidence and a head start. River Wilderness is a gated golf course community in Parrish with 24-hour manned security and a true country club feel. Set along the Manatee River and wrapped around a beautiful 18-hole golf course, the community offers a 27, 000-square-foot clubhouse, dining, social events, an Olympic-sized pool, Har-Tru tennis courts, bocce ball, fitness center, event space, and pet-friendly living. Club membership is available, but not mandatory. If you’ve been searching for a maintenance-free pool home in an established community with preserve views, meaningful updates, and the chance to create something really special, this one is absolutely worth a look.
