Property Description
Live the dream in this elegantly updated estate home nestled in the heart of Alva. Set behind a private gated entrance, this beautifully maintained property offers the perfect blend of luxury living and equestrian functionality with private paddocks, a barn, and top-tier horse facilities. Available for rent starting September 1st, this beautifully maintained property sits behind a private gate and is surrounded by Calusia hedges, mature trees, and meticulously landscaped grounds. A winding oak-lined driveway leads you to the spacious single-family home, which features marble floors throughout the main living areas and bamboo flooring in the guest bedrooms. The interior is flooded with natural light and showcases crown molding, a graceful staircase, and thoughtfully placed lighting that highlights the home's refined architectural details. The gourmet kitchen is a standout with its bright cabinetry, granite countertops, 5-burner gas cooktop, mounted oven and warming drawer, SubZero refrigerator, wine cooler, and ample workspace for entertaining or everyday living. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet with California Closet organization, while the guest bath features granite counters, a jetted tub, and a frameless glass shower. Additional conveniences include an indoor laundry room with washer and dryer and a two-car garage. Outdoor living is just as impressive, with a beautiful wrap-around porch, welcoming heated pool and spa, and a full outdoor kitchen designed for entertaining. The property is fully fenced and irrigated via a private well, with a whole-house reverse osmosis system providing clean, crisp water throughout. The metal roof adds durability and timeless appeal. Equestrians will find everything they need with approximately 3.5 to 4 acres of paddocks reserved exclusively for tenant use. The barn offers two oversized stalls with a self-watering system, full drainage, and an automatic bug spray system. There are also two wash stalls, a tack room with a full bathroom, and a large shaded concrete patio with a pavilion-perfect for gatherings or relaxing by the fire on cooler evenings. Located adjacent to Alva Community Park, this property offers the peace and charm of rural living with the convenience of community amenities. This rare rental opportunity is ideal for equestrians or anyone seeking private, upscale country living just outside the city. Bonus!!! While the included stable allows for only 2-3 horses, additional stalls are available for rent at the adjoining stable next door. The renter may have access to the training arena and additional 15 acres of paddocks as long as it does not interfere with business activities of the stable, is arranged in advance, and that the tenant would clean up after themselves.
