Welcome to the exclusive community of Pine Valley Ranches, where the convenience of location and privacy meet natural beauty on this stunning 5.5-acre estate. If you love the serenity of Selby Botanical Gardens, this property will captivate you.

With no neighbors in sight, privacy is absolute, and one can feel secure on this property. This custom-built residence spans approximately 7,000 total square feet with a brand new roof and features 4 bedrooms, plus a den/office, and a remarkable three-story, Class 5 hurricane-rated safe structure—complete with a rooftop deck. Step inside through grand double doors into a spacious foyer that opens to a formal living area filled with natural light, 12-foot ceilings, and a skylight. Expansive double sliders open to a screened outdoor living area with an oversized pool area for grilling and an oversized patio ideal for entertaining. The triple-split floor plan offers spaciousness and functionality, enhanced by aquarium-style transom windows and octagon architectural accents. The expansive primary suite boasts two double sliders with direct access to the pool and outdoor lounge area. At the heart of the home, the recently renovated kitchen offers style and substance with custom wood ceiling insets, Samsung appliances, custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, an extra-large pantry, and a large center island with comfortable seating. It flows seamlessly into a cozy family room with built-in shelving, an oversized marble fireplace, and a handcrafted wood mantle. Designed with versatility in mind, it serves beautifully as a guest suite, art studio, man cave, or entertainment space. Constructed with double steel-reinforced concrete, fireproof and hurricane-rated windows, handcrafted walnut doors, this structure features floating maple floors, skip-trowel plaster walls and ceiling, custom lighting, and hand-painted cedar crown molding. A spiral staircase connects to a second-floor studio or workshop, while the third level offers a rooftop deck with artificial turf—perfect for sunbathing, sunset watching, or a rooftop bar escape. Outdoors, immerse yourself in the peaceful surroundings. Meandering trails invite you through your private woods to explore the natural beauty of the property, which also features a koi pond and a detached concrete 400 sq ft garage—ideal for housing custom cars, tracker, golf carts, kayaks, paddleboards, and more. With its exceptional privacy and ample acreage, the property offers the opportunity to add a second residence (3rd structure).
