4450 EMPIRE CHURCH ROAD Under contract-accepting backup offers. The perfect balance of space, freedom, and modern living is hard to come by—but this exceptional Groveland estate delivers it all. Tucked away on just over 9 acres of private land, this beautifully maintained property offers a rare combination of upscale finishes, recreational amenities, and wide-open potential with no HOA restrictions. The 4-bedroom, 3-bath custom home has been thoughtfully designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. High ceilings, an open-concept, and abundant natural light create a welcoming interior, while the kitchen—complete with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large center island—anchors the heart of the home. The spacious owner’s suite offers a peaceful retreat, featuring a spa-style bath, dual vanities, and two generous walk-in closets. Step outside and you’ll find what truly sets this property apart: a sparkling saltwater pool and a covered lanai with retractable screens, perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying Florida’s year-round sunshine. But the real showstopper is the massive, detached climate-controlled gymnasium, featuring three oversized bay doors and a nearly full-size indoor basketball court. Whether you're hosting weekend games, running a private training space, or dreaming of a future guest house, workshop, or event venue—the possibilities here are endless. Lovingly cared for, incredibly versatile, and ready for its next chapter—this estate isn’t just a home. It’s an opportunity.
