About this home
Imagine waking up surrounded by nature, launching your kayak from your own backyard, and ending each day with breathtaking sunsets from a private crow's nest overlooking Terra Ceia's untouched landscape. Hidden on over 4.5 acres with no close neighbors, this extraordinary retreat offers a lifestyle that's nearly impossible to duplicate. A private saltwater canal winds through the property, creating your own secluded kayak tunnel with access to Terra Ceia Bay for fishing, paddling, and exploring Florida's Gulf waters. Inside, walls of windows blur the line between indoors and out, filling the home with natural light and panoramic views from nearly every room. Rich tongue-and-groove ceilings, wood-wrapped beams, crown molding, and thoughtfully selected finishes create a warm coastal feel that perfectly complements the surrounding landscape. The open-concept living area is designed for gathering, featuring a beautifully appointed kitchen with quartz countertops, premium stainless steel appliances, a wine refrigerator, and seamless access to multiple outdoor decks. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with its own fireplace, private balcony, oversized closet, spa-inspired bath, and spectacular views. An additional upstairs bedroom features a flexible ensuite layout, ideal for guests or extended family. The oversized lower-level garage offers exceptional space for vehicles, boats, kayaks, paddleboards, fishing gear, and all the toys that come with Florida living. Even better, this home is being offered fully furnished and may include kayaks, bicycles, and a UTV, allowing you to move in and immediately begin enjoying everything Terra Ceia has to offer. Residents also have the opportunity to join the Village Improvement Association, providing access to a community boat ramp, kayak launch, pickleball courts, waterfront park, pavilion, fire pit, and year-round community events. This isn't simply a home. It's a private Florida retreat where nature, adventure, and relaxation become part of everyday life.
