Description

Welcome to one of the Rainbow River’s most desired locations, just north of KP Hole Park, where the water settles into that unmistakable turquoise the river was named for. Across the bank, preserved in perpetuity, protected state park land rises in a skyline of cypress, mirrored on the water’s surface — a view of beauty you’ll never tire of looking at. Full of love and appreciation for its beauty, this 2/2.5/2 gated riverfront home has been thoughtfully updated, adding a rare touch of luxury and ease to life along the Rainbow River. Move-in ready and gorgeously renovated, this is the kind of place where you truly don’t have to lift a finger — settle in. Inside, the kitchen has granite countertops and upgraded appliances, opening to a bar view overlooking a beautiful view of the Rainbow River. Two spacious bedrooms, with a gorgeous recently remodeled primary bathroom, and a sleeping loft — with its own river view — bring an unexpected romantic twist, begging to become someone’s favorite reading nook or private hideaway. The fireplace adds that extra layer of warmth, drawing you closer as you unwind after a day of playing on the river. But the back porch may be where you end up living most of the year. And in all reality, coffee just tastes different here — sip slowly and watch the morning mist rise off the water as the river drifts by in its own unhurried time. With a new roof in 2024 and new HVAC arriving in the coming weeks, the big-ticket items are already taken care of — so all that’s left to do is relax and enjoy life. Best of all, step outside to your dock and quietly slip into your private swimming area - 72-degree spring water, cool and clear even on the warmest Florida afternoon. Watch Great Blue Herons stand motionless in hunting position along the shoreline, Ospreys wheeling overhead before folding into a dive, and turtles working their funny, almost yoga-like contortions as they perch on nearby logs. If you’re lucky, a few otters might slip past, playing in the shallows. Some homes give you a view. This one gives you a relationship — with the water, with the wildlife, with a stretch of river so protected and so pristine that its beauty is written into law as much as it is into the landscape. Here, morning comes with company you didn’t have to invite.
