No expense was spared in the design and build of this one-of-a-kind luxury homestead estate in northwest Gainesville. This property is equipped with an impressive list of upgrades including a 3-zone climate control HVAC system with smart thermostats, a whole-house dehumidification system, a new 80-gallon heat pump water heater (2024), a soft-start well pump (2023) with 5-year warranty, and a new drain field pump (2024). A whole house Tesla battery back-up system, powered by a 3.6 kW solar energy system with GRU net meter, keeps electric bills low and can power the entire home if the power goes out (better than a generator!). Concrete block construction, brick and Hardie plank siding, upgraded insulation and roof sheathing, a fully concrete block interior storm room, and impact-resistant storm windows and doors provide peace of mind and improved energy efficiency. All of this is found in a cozy and inviting home on 5+ acres of cleared and wooded land, where deer and other wildlife frequently visit. A private gated entry welcomes you as you arrive. Inside, you're greeted by soaring 10 foot ceilings, engineered oak wood floors, crown molding throughout, and an open floor plan that blends style with functionality. The spacious and bright living room features a tray ceiling along with windows and french doors allowing for a gorgeous view of the pool and expansive backyard. The kitchen is sure to impress the chef in the family with its elegance and practicality, offering dark wood custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, built-in dual wall ovens, and a convenient eat-in space. You'll also appreciate the additional storage of the walk-in pantry and a second refrigerator. The kitchen flows into the formal dining room, the perfect space for hosting friends and family for holidays or casual get-togethers. The spacious primary suite includes a large bedroom, two walk in closets, and an en-suite bathroom with dual vanity sinks, a soaking tub, and a separate tiled shower for a spa-like retreat. Four additional bedrooms and two more full bathrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or a home office setup. The versatile 3-car garage, currently equipped with an EV charger, provides ample room for vehicles, storage, or a home gym. A designated laundry room and a mud room add everyday convenience with additional storage and workspace. Step outside to enjoy true Florida living. The screened patio overlooks the sparkling saltwater pool, while the expansive backyard offers a brick fire pit, a wireless pet fence system, and a thriving fruit and vegetable garden with irrigation.
