This beautiful island compound sits on nearly 12 acres in the middle of Pine Island Lake. The island only has six homesites, so the minute you cross the bridge and wind your way through the moss-filled Cypress trees on Skylark Lane, you feel like you are coming home to a private retreat. The 6-bedroom modern farmhouse has been completely updated and offers an open floorplan with tile flooring (no carpets here), contemporary fixtures and a cozy stone fireplace. The expansive kitchen features granite countertops, stainless appliances, a breakfast nook and a massive island with bar-top seating. This kitchen has so much storage that some cabinets may remain empty after you move in! Just off the living room, you can grill up dinner on the breezy lanai, with lots of room to entertain in the screened enclosure. The screened-in front porch would also be a nice spot for morning coffee. The backyard extends out to the lake via a 176-foot boardwalk. The amazing deck at the end of the boardwalk has water & elec service, along with two jet ski lifts. The property also includes an oversized storage shed, leaving room in the 3-car garage for your lake toys, cars and a workshop. When you enter the home through the garage, a convenient mudroom/drop-zone and full laundry room greet you to collect all your shoes, jackets and bags. The corner primary bedroom boasts a spa-like ensuite with a walk-in closet, dual sinks, a W/C and a huge custom shower with a rainfall showerhead. Storage galore, too! On the other side of the floorplan, there are three guest rooms and a hallway bathroom with double sinks and a separate shower/toilet room. At the top of the stairs, you’ll find a versatile loft area that could be a playroom, home office, gym or sixth bedroom. There’s also a bedroom and a full bathroom on this level, so the entire upstairs could be a private guest suite. Don’t forget about the upgrades that come with this waterfront property, like the whole home generator and 14 lightning rods. Even though this Pine Island Lake retreat may feel rural, you’re still only 10 mins from all the shopping & dining in downtown Groveland. This is a rare opportunity to secure a secluded slice of paradise in Central Florida! ***Roof 2023, Water Softener & Septic-pump 2024, AC 2021, Kitchen and Bathrooms 2022***
