Tucked behind a gated entry and positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this quaint ranch style 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence on 5 acres offers privacy, space, and a lifestyle that’s increasingly hard to find in Central Florida. Backing to state-owned conservation land managed by the St. Johns River Water Management District, the setting provides a natural buffer, open views, and long-term peace of mind with no rear neighbors. Inside, the home features a formal living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and inviting focal point, along with a formal dining room ideal for gatherings. Skylights fill the home with natural light, enhancing the open feel throughout the living spaces. Luxury vinyl plank flooring flows through the living room, dining room, and primary bedroom, while the secondary bedrooms have carpet and the wet areas are finished in tile. The primary suite, conveniently located off the living room, includes built-in closets and a thoughtfully designed ensuite featuring a walk-in closet, linen storage, shower, and a private water closet. Two additional bedrooms are well-sized and share access to the second full bath. The kitchen offers a closet pantry and a breakfast nook that opens directly to the screened back porch, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection. The indoor utility/laundry room, located just off the kitchen, includes cabinetry for storage and a utility sink for added functionality. An in-home built-in vacuum system adds everyday convenience. Outdoor living is equally appealing, with an east-facing front porch - perfect for enjoying morning light - and a west-facing screened back porch ideal for winding down in the evenings. The expansive acreage provides room to roam, with space to accommodate animals, ATVs, boats, tractors, trailers, and recreational vehicles, along with flexibility for a variety of outdoor uses. The property includes both an attached 2-car garage and a detached 3-car garage, offering ample storage and workspace options. The roof was replaced in 2024, adding value and peace of mind. Located in Lake County, the property offers convenient access to Central Florida’s best outdoor recreation and regional destinations, including the Ocala National Forest, the Wekiva River, and the St. Johns River, along with nearby beaches, theme parks, and major commuter routes. Enjoy the balance of open space, natural surroundings, and proximity to shopping, dining, and employment centers. A rare opportunity to enjoy acreage living with privacy, versatility, and convenience - all in an established Eustis location.
