About this home

Tucked into the heart of Dunnellon's beloved Rainbow Springs Country Club Estates, this home invites you into a life woven around one of Florida's true natural treasures — the crystal-clear Rainbow River. Just minutes from Rainbow Springs State Park's spring-fed waters, waterfalls, and shaded hiking trails, and moments from the community's own river access with kayak and canoe launches, this is Old Florida living at its most enchanting. Wander scenic paths along the former golf course fairways, breathe in the quiet of oak-canopied streets, and feel the gentle pull of a neighborhood built for slow mornings and golden evenings. And the home itself? Just as romantic as its setting. Step inside and fall for the heart of the home — a kitchen made for gathering, anchored by a stunning eight-foot island with drawers on both sides, a deep prep sink, and a 36-inch drawer beneath the cooktop for all your favorite pots and pans. Under-mount cabinet lighting casts a soft glow, while the double oven stands ready for holiday feasts and quiet Sunday suppers alike. Just beyond, a true butler's pantry has abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, a large sink, a second dishwasher, and a storage closet — the kind of thoughtful space that makes entertaining effortless and everyday living a joy. The living room is where the outside world seems to drift right in, with views stretching over the fairway-lined scenery beyond your windows — a view that changes with the light throughout the day. All three bedrooms are generously sized, but the primary suite is where the home truly shines: a serene retreat with room to breathe, a premium walk-in closet with built-ins, beautifully updated dual vanities, and a handicap-accessible shower. A spacious laundry room continues the home's story of quiet luxury, lined with cabinets, extra folding counters, a rustic-backsplash stainless sink, and a closet for hanging garments fresh from the wash. Soft, flowing floors carry you room to room beneath abundant natural light, while updated plumbing, a roof just four years young, a new 50-gallon water heater, and a well-fed sprinkler system whisper reassurance that the love poured into this home runs deep. Set on slightly higher ground with no drainage worries, the fenced backyard is perfect for your furry loved ones to wander while you watch wildlife from the back patio, any time of day. Bright, open, and never confining, it's a home that lets you breathe. Life here is easy, too. You're a half-mile from several grocery stores and just minutes from laid-back local spots like Cheers at Rainbow Springs, with live music every weekend. Charming downtown Dunnellon rounds things out with everyday essentials alongside some of its cutest antique shops, art spots, and riverside restaurants. And when the world calls, it isn't far away. Dunnellon sits within easy reach of Ocala, with Gainesville Regional and Ocala International airports close at hand and Tampa International and Orlando International both a comfortable drive away. Some of Florida's most coveted beaches and world-famous theme parks are within a couple of hours' reach. This is more than a house. It's a place to fall in love with Florida all over again.
