Discover a private country estate where refined comfort meets the beauty of Florida's natural surroundings. Set behind an electric aluminum gate on 3.32 lush acres, this extraordinary 7-bedroom residence offers the space, upgrades, and resort-style amenities rarely found in one property. A 6,000-square-foot paved driveway leads you to this impressive custom home, where rich hardwood flooring, soaring ceilings, and an open foyer with an upstairs balcony create an unforgettable first impression. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the main level includes the luxurious primary suite plus two additional bedrooms, including one with handicap-accessible features. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, beautifully appointed with granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, double ovens, a farmhouse sink, and a large island with its own prep sink. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, complete with a spa-inspired bath featuring a jetted soaking tub, separate walk-in rain shower and elegant finishes. Midway upstairs, an approximately 840-square-foot bonus room provides exceptional flexibility for a theater, game room, fitness studio, home office, or additional bedroom. Step onto the private balcony to enjoy peaceful evenings overlooking your expansive property. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms each offer their own full bath, ideal for family, guests, or multigenerational living. Outside is where this estate truly shines. Full-length front and rear porches invite you to slow down and enjoy the setting, while a small porch just off the kitchen is the perfect place for morning coffee. The outdoor oasis features a brand-new fenced heated pool and hot tub, along with a sand volleyball court, koi pond, outdoor shower, fire pit, and a separate fenced area for pets. An invisible fence surrounds the perimeter, giving your four-legged family members even more room to roam. Extensive recent improvements include paid-off solar panels, a new well, new Hardie Board siding, fresh interior and exterior paint, a new septic drain field, a water softener, lush landscaping, and a full sprinkler irrigation system across all 3.32 acres. Fifty landscape and parking lights illuminate the property from front to back, while exterior cameras provide additional peace of mind. Built with commercial-grade Insulated Concrete Forms, this solidly constructed home also offers a full walk-around attic, whole-house vacuum system, hybrid water heater, attached 3-car garage, and a detached air-conditioned and heated workshop/man cave with an additional garage bay. A covered RV carport adds even more storage and flexibility. For those who love the outdoors, the lifestyle here is unmatched. A paved trail at the end of the backyard offers miles of walking, biking, and hiking. Head north for a short trip to Ponce De Leon Spring Park, where hiking, boating, kayaking, and fishing await-followed by pancakes at the beloved Old Sugar Mill Pancake House. You are also conveniently located about one hour from Disney and Orlando International Airport, approximately 40 minutes from Daytona, and a short drive from charming downtown DeLand with its restaurants, farmers market, and year-round events. This is more than a home; it is a private retreat, an entertainer's dream, and a place to create lasting memories.
