Set on 4.2 private acres along the pristine shores of Neff Lake in the highly sought-after Spring Lake community, this extraordinary custom waterfront estate is unlike anything else on the market. Designed and built as the personal residence of a respected local developer and custom home builder, this home was created without compromise, where every construction decision prioritized quality, longevity, functionality, and timeless design over cost. What truly sets this home apart isn't simply what you see-it's what you don't. Behind the beautiful finishes lies a level of construction and infrastructure rarely found in today's custom homes. Built with solid concrete block construction on both the first and second floors, Hardie siding, spray foam insulation, an upgraded insulation package, Trex decking, a full gutter system with underdrains, and multiple 220-volt electrical services, this home was engineered to perform for generations. The supporting infrastructure reflects the same commitment to excellence, including a new well (2024), Culligan whole-house water treatment system, reverse osmosis drinking water, an oversized septic and drain field, seven exterior hose bibs, and an irrigation cistern system designed for efficient property maintenance. Inside, exceptional craftsmanship is evident throughout. Rich wood ceilings, extensive crown molding, solid-core fluted doors, custom cabinetry, built-in bookcases, a striking stone fireplace, elegant Italian tile, and a beautifully appointed wet bar create an atmosphere of refined comfort and understated luxury. Designed to embrace Florida's outdoor lifestyle, the home features an expansive wraparound porch, spacious lakeside deck, covered upper-level balcony, inviting swim spa, and fire-pit terrace overlooking approximately 2,200 feet of breathtaking southern lake views. Watch spectacular sunrises and sunsets, kayak the peaceful waters of Neff Lake, observe abundant native wildlife, or enjoy remarkable stargazing beneath dark skies with minimal light pollution. Approached by approximately 450 feet of wooded privacy, this exceptional property offers a peaceful country setting without sacrificing convenience. With no HOA and zoning that allows horses and chickens, owners enjoy the freedom to create the lifestyle they've always envisioned. More than a luxury home, this is a thoughtfully engineered legacy estate built to standards that are exceptionally difficult-and extraordinarily expensive-to replicate today. Opportunities to own a property of this caliber are exceedingly rare. See Builder's Notes and Features Sheet in the attachments.
