About this home
Nestled in the heart of Sweetwater Springs, a beautiful, gated enclave bordering Wekiwa Springs State Park, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to live immersed in Old Florida’s natural beauty. Homes in this community are seldom available, making this a truly special offering. With deeded access to the Wekiva River and Lake Brantley, a top spring-fed ski lake, the neighborhood is ideal for paddlers, boaters, and nature enthusiasts alike. Residents enjoy an unmatched lifestyle with multiple private parks, tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds, a residents-only clubhouse, and a kayak launch providing direct access to the Wekiva River. From the SWS private riverfront park (exclusively for the use of the 79 homes within SWS), enjoy a peaceful paddle straight into Wekiwa Springs State Park, where towering cypress trees, pristine springs, and protected wildlife habitats define the landscape. Manatees, otters, deer, wild turkeys, and abundant native wildlife are frequent visitors, creating a setting that feels more like a private nature preserve than a neighborhood. Zoned for highly regarded schools, this location perfectly balances tranquility and convenience, offering a sought-after lifestyle that continues to drive strong demand and limited inventory within Sweetwater Springs. Situated on a spacious .52-acre corner lot, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home features a split floor plan designed for privacy and comfort. Built in 1990, the residence blends timeless character with thoughtful updates, including granite countertops throughout, plantation shutters, soaring ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a Culligan water softener. Outdoor living is highlighted by a large heated, screened-in pool with an outdoor shower, ideal for entertaining or unwinding after a day on the river. Major improvements include a new roof and skylights (2022), new A/C systems (2021 & 2024), and a new water heater (2026), providing peace of mind for future owners. Perfectly positioned near nature yet convenient to shopping, dining, and major roadways, this home offers a rare combination of location, lifestyle, and scarcity. For buyers seeking a nature-centered retreat in a low-inventory, highly coveted community, Sweetwater Springs stands in a class of its own.
