9461 CR 657 It may be fate that is sending this home your way, or some other agency, but in these days of uncertainty, here is one thing of which you can be certain: THIS is the home for you if peace and quiet is your desire and you’re searching for a beautifully-remodeled waterfront home with brand new metal roof, brand new HVAC, and no HOA—located high-and-dry above the Withlacoochee River with direct views of a 50-acre bird sanctuary. Offering over 1, 800 sq ft, this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home features tile flooring throughout, a remodeled kitchen with granite countertops and new appliances, and two living rooms with a fireplace. The primary suite overlooks the river and includes dual closets, bonus flex space, and a remodeled bath with dual vanities and a tiled walk-in shower. For extra convenience, the laundry room (with new appliances, sink, plenty of shelves and a sturdy workbench) has two entrances. Downstairs, a 600 sq ft workshop, with exterior access, provides ample storage, two large workbenches, and an additional full-sized refrigerator/freezer and sink. There is also 230V power for EV charging or RV hookup. Enjoy coffee, meals, casual sitting or relaxing on the hammock within the screened-in back porch overlooking the river and bird sanctuary. Mature oaks share the large fenced back yard with flower beds. Small boats, canoes or kayaks can be launched directly into the river; for larger craft the community maintains a private concrete boat launch. Situated in the same county as The Villages but with none of the latter’s noise, traffic, and other hustle and bustle, this serene sanctuary is located just two minutes from the Withlacoochee State Forest and convenient to Tampa, Ocala and Orlando. And it’s ready for you and your family to move in now.
