About this home
Beautiful, spacious 6-7 bedroom pool home with exceptional privacy less than a mile from the University of Florida. Nestled in one of Gainesville’s best-kept residential secrets—Shands Woods—this custom-built John Van Mills home sits on over 2.5 acres. Sitting high above protected wetlands along the Hogtown Creek. This home blends natural beauty, timeless design, and modern upgrades, and is a true hidden gem in the heart of Gainesville.
Inside, the home welcomes you with a breathtaking two-story family room featuring cedar batten and board walls and a striking wood-burning Spade stone fireplace, evoking the warmth of a mountain lodge. The home offers elevated views of the surrounding preserve and creek while maintaining complete privacy. The first floor includes a formal living room with bay windows overlooking the preserve, a formal dining room with custom built-ins, a spacious kitchen with a center island, double oven, and eat-in area, and a peaceful primary suite. The kitchen and breakfast area open to the pool through French doors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The primary suite overlooks the wooded yard and pool and includes a spa-inspired bathroom with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, split vanities, and a one-of-a-kind indoor terrarium.
Upstairs, you’ll find five additional bedrooms, a large office, and a versatile game room that can serve as a seventh bedroom, playroom, or creative space. Two bedrooms feature private en suite baths, while the remaining three share a spacious bathroom with dual vanities and a jetted tub. A private deck overlooking the pool is accessible from both a bedroom and the game room, while other rooms provide serene views of the surrounding preserve. A spiral staircase from the game room leads conveniently down to the laundry room.
Step outside to your own private oasis: a 30,000-gallon pool surrounded by lush landscaping and total seclusion. A private staircase provides direct access to Hogtown Creek. With protected wetlands on the property line, you’ll enjoy lifelong privacy with no future development—and no front-door neighbors.
This home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, featuring a new roof (2024), water heaters (2022), fresh interior and exterior paint, and new flooring in most living areas. Located in the highly desirable, no-HOA neighborhood of Shands Woods, this home offers the feel of a private retreat with the convenience of being just minutes from UF, Shands Hospital, the VA, and downtown Gainesville.
If you're searching for space, privacy, and proximity to the University of Florida, this one-of-a-kind Gainesville pool home is a must-see. Schedule your private showing today!
