You are going to love this spectacular Tuscan Style estate nestled in the heart of 1.11 acres with 4 spacious bedrooms, a luxurious den with a custom built-in office, 3 full bathrooms, a 3-car side load garage complete with loads of built-in storage, an outdoor kitchen PLUS a custom pool and spa as well as a very private fenced in backyard. The landscaping is mature and lush, with 10’ hedges on both sides (so much privacy!) and an abundance of Florida trees, shrubs, and flowers throughout the property. Once inside, you will find 12’ ceilings, coffered ceilings with wooden inlay, tile and wood floors, rich crown molding, plantation shutters, sliders throughout, and beautiful designer touches. The kitchen is spacious and features granite countertops, a custom backsplash, staggered wood cabinets, a center island, a large walk-in pantry, and stainless-steel appliances including a Viking gas cooktop stove. The owner has meticulously maintained the home and has also updated the following: In the very private backyard, a 4’ high spear top black aluminum fencing with three 4 x 5 gates was added along with a custom outdoor kitchen and the entire pool cage was rescreened with Phifer wire screen. Custom cabinets were added to the 3-car garage, the home was repainted inside and out along with the pool deck, and two 3.5 ton split AC systems were replaced in 2017. In 2021, a 50-gallon Rheem 4500@ water heater w/6 yr factory warranty was installed. The Preserve is a beautiful one-acre estate community and offers excellent outdoor amenities including a tennis court, basketball court, community pavilion, playground equipment, and walking trails. The Preserve is one of 9 neighborhoods inside the master community of Panther Ridge. There are 4500 acres total, with homesites in each neighborhood varying from one acre to more than 5 acres. Panther Ridge offers charming country living with estate-property distinction. Its natural setting evokes 'old Florida' and is vast enough for residents to enjoy horseback riding in the 5+ acre neighborhoods, nature trails in the 1+ acre communities, and privacy in all the neighborhoods. Single-family homes are showcased on home sites that truly are “estate-sized”. Designs vary from 'old Florida' southern estates, contemporary Florida homes to modern country mansions, each adding its own luster to this beautifully conceived acreage community. All in all, the hiking and riding trails cover approximately 15 miles of gorgeous land such as oak-filled hammocks, bridges over meandering creeks, and wide-open spaces highlighted by towering pine. Behind The Preserve is The Concession, one of Florida’s most prestigious private Golf & Country Clubs. Membership is not mandatory, but many of Panther Ridge’s residents enjoy memberships there. Panther Ridge is contiguous to Lakewood Ranch and while you may not want to leave Panther Ridge's natural beauty, it is nice to know you are minutes away from an amazing master-planned community that is really the size of a town. At 50 square miles, it's filled with shopping, dining, arts, entertainment, nature, recreation, and top-notch schools. People who live in The Preserve love the one-acre homesites, privacy, and the wonderful nature trails, but they also love being just a few minutes from a brand-new Publix, golf, fantastic schools, shopping, medical facilities, and so much more.
