About this home
Set on just over an acre in one of the most exclusive, private, and gated neighborhoods in The Villages, this extraordinary home has no bond and offers a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity. Located within the desirable Village of Hickory Head Hammock, it is one of the coveted "Inner Eight"—the original eight residences built for the Morse family, the visionaries behind the development of The Villages. While Hickory Head Hammock consists of only 33 residences and five guest cottages, the "Inner Eight" owners enjoy an unmatched level of exclusivity, including private access to a residents-only pool, scenic pond with walking paths, clubhouse featuring a gathering room, full kitchen, and guest apartment, as well as exclusive use of the tennis and pickleball courts. The community also features a private keyed gate and paved path across Hacienda Hills Golf Course, providing convenient access to the extensive network of golf cart and walking paths throughout The Villages. Surrounded by mature landscaping, oversized homesites, and picturesque views, this beautifully remodeled home combines timeless character with modern luxury. Recent updates include rich hardwood flooring, fresh interior paint, a stunning new kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, designer backsplash, and new appliances. The bathrooms have been completely renovated with new cabinetry, granite countertops, and tile finishes. Additional improvements include a redesigned sunroom, new decking, coffee and wine bar and numerous other upgrades throughout. Abundant windows fill the home with natural light while showcasing peaceful views of the lush landscaping, walking paths, private amenities, pool, and clubhouse. Ideally located just minutes from championship golf courses, recreation centers, shopping, dining, and live entertainment, this exceptional property offers the perfect blend of privacy, luxury, and convenience.
