RARE 10-ACRE PRIVATE RETREAT | MOTIVATED SELLERS | NO HOA | NO FLOOD ZONE

Escape the ordinary and discover your own slice of Old Florida. Nestled on nearly 10 acres, fully fenced and beautifully wooded, this unique property offers exceptional privacy, usable land, and quality construction—a stellar combination rarely found at this price point in DeSoto County.

This move-in-ready 2-bedroom, 2-bath home features 1,274 sq ft under air and 2,668 sq ft under truss, highlighted by a signature wrap-around screened porch that significantly expands the living space and embodies true Florida indoor-outdoor living.

Major improvements have already been completed, providing peace of mind and long-term value. Updates include a brand new roof and insulation (2026), new Andersen windows (2025), new and upsized septic system (2021) ready for future expansion, fully renovated bathrooms, new well equipment, electrical upgrades with a 50-amp whole-house generator hookup, plumbing updates, and a propane tankless water heater. The kitchen features a premium Sub-Zero refrigerator with a separate under-counter freezer.

The property is well-equipped for a variety of uses, offering three flexible cabin sheds all with electricity and A/C, a 12×32 workshop shed, and a large open parking and work area suitable for contractors, equipment storage, event parking, or recreational use. Irrigation has been installed across portions of the land, and conduit is already in place for future electrical expansion.

Enjoy the best of both worlds in this private yet convenient location—seclusion without sacrificing accessibility. Located just 15 minutes from shopping and dining in Arcadia and 25 minutes to the recreation and growing retail selection at Babcock Ranch.
