Rarely available and truly special, this lakefront villa in the gated community of Orange Blossom Ranch is the only home on the market today with its own private pool, and it is the first villa with a private pool to come up for sale in this community in more than five years. Built as the desirable Magnolia floor plan, the home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two car garage, facing southeast for great natural light throughout the day. It is within walking distance to the community amenity center, about a three to four minute walk, or roughly a one minute drive, putting pools, fitness, tennis, and pickleball within easy reach. The backyard holds its own below ground pool, wrapped in a picture frame screen enclosure that keeps the view open while keeping bugs out. Peace of mind comes built in too, with a whole house generator connected to a 500 gallon propane tank and upgraded storm protection throughout, upgrades that cost the seller more than $120,000, with today's cost likely higher. Inside, tile flooring runs through the entire home for an easy to maintain, cohesive look, the kitchen features granite countertops, and the primary suite includes a custom accent wall along with a spacious walk in closet. Orange Blossom Ranch is known for resort style amenities, including two pools, a spa, a clubhouse, a fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball, bocce, playgrounds, and a fishing pier, all with low HOA fees. The location off Oil Well Road places residents close to the Shoppes at Orange Blossom Publix, nearby schools, and Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park, with easy access to shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences throughout the area.
