One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Discover the ideal balance of privacy, functionality, and convenience with this beautifully custom-built 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence situated on more than 16 acres. Approximately 13 acres are wooded with mature pines—ready for harvesting or maintained to preserve the current agricultural exemption they provide. Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this property offers the perfect setting to raise a family, establish a mini-farm, or simply enjoy wide-open space with no deed restrictions. Thoughtfully designed with attention to detail, the home features 1,800 square feet of living area and a desirable split floor plan. The spacious great room flows seamlessly into the dining area, creating an inviting layout for both daily living and entertaining. Two guest bedrooms each include walk-in closets, and the guest bath features a tub/shower combination. The generously sized primary suite accommodates large furnishings and includes a substantial walk-in closet, dual vanities, and a walk-in separate shower. Exterior features are equally impressive. A circular driveway welcomes you at the front of the home, while an extended drive leads to the backyard, where you’ll find a 20x40 carport tall enough to accommodate a motorhome, and a 20x20 carport. Two 45-foot shipping containers provide extensive additional storage. The A/C system was replaced in 2025. For added security and comfort, the home is equipped with a whole-house generator and a whole-home water conditioning system, delivering high-quality water sourced from Florida’s aquifer. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the abundant wildlife, including deer and turkeys, that frequent the property. This private retreat offers exceptional seclusion while remaining conveniently close to town amenities and nearby beaches. Living in Crystal River means embracing Florida’s renowned Nature Coast lifestyle. Spend your days fishing in the Gulf, scalloping in season, or launching your boat from one of the many public ramps along the Crystal River and the Homosassa River. Explore the natural springs at Three Sisters Springs, kayak through clear waterways, or enjoy waterfront dining after a day on the water. At the same time, the heart of Citrus County continues to experience steady commercial growth, bringing expanded shopping, dining, medical facilities, and national retailers to the area—allowing you to enjoy rural tranquility without sacrificing modern conveniences. This is a rare opportunity to own versatile acreage with natural beauty and long-term flexibility—refined country living with room to roam, paired with the very best of Florida’s outdoor lifestyle.
