Property Description
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Virtually Staged. Welcome home to your architecturally distinct lakefront retreat on Riley Lake. Escape to your own peaceful, secluded setting where everyday living feels like a getaway. This custom 2BR/2.5BA home sits on ¾ of an acre of private, lush grounds with mature landscaping including orange, lime, Meyer lemon, and grapefruit trees, along with Japanese maple, azaleas, butterfly bushes, and a striking bottlebrush tree. Designed in two thoughtfully connected phases, the home is joined by a bright sunroom ideal as additional living space, reading lounge, or future hot tub area. Soaring ceilings and abundant natural light fill the great room, highlighted by a central cupola with clerestory windows, where a gas fireplace and custom built-ins anchor the open layout flowing seamlessly into the kitchen and dining area with stunning lake views. Numerous French doors lead to a screened porch and spacious composite deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Both bedrooms are oversized, including a flexible guest room/office with a Murphy bed, while the primary suite offers beautiful lake views, a walk-in closet, built-ins, fireplace, and private outdoor shower. The remodeled kitchen features granite countertops, wood cabinetry, and excellent flow for gatherings. A new well pump, two tankless water heaters (approx. 2 years old), two HVAC systems, whole-home generator, and durable metal roof add to the home’s appeal. Outdoor amenities include a fully equipped summer kitchen (grill, fridge, sink), half bath, two oversized storage buildings, water treatment system, and fenced dog run. Enjoy ~120 feet of private waterfront with your own dock on spring-fed Riley Lake—one of two multi-purpose lakes (with neighboring Star Lake) ideal for swimming, boating, and fishing—with optional Star Lake access for just $50/year. Perfect as a full-time residence or weekend lake house retreat, this rare waterfront property offers privacy, flexibility, and the kind of serene Florida lakefront living that’s hard to find, all just minutes from Gainesville and Ocala.
