Behind the scenes, everyday comfort is elevated by an on-demand propane water heater, a comprehensive water softener and sulfur filtration system, and recently serviced dual A/C units. Outside, the freshly painted exterior (2025) welcomes you into a truly undisturbed retreat. Surrounded by spectacular, lush landscaping that serves as a natural privacy screen, the outdoor living space features a heated, screen-enclosed saltwater pool. Two soothing waterfall features amplify the feeling of your own hidden sanctuary. Whether you are savoring a quiet morning listening to the waterfalls, hitting the links, taking a neighborhood golf cart cruise, or launching the boat for a day on the water, this property delivers the ultimate tranquil Southwest Florida lifestyle.
