About this property
HUGE PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind waterfront home in the highly desirable Tiki Village 55+ community in Tavares. Perfectly positioned on an exceptional waterfront lot backing to protected preserve land, this beautifully renovated home offers unmatched privacy, breathtaking views, and serene natural surroundings-making it widely regarded as one of the best lots in all of Tiki Village. This spacious home offers 2,208 square feet of living space and has been tastefully updated with top-of-the-line finishes throughout. The stunning new kitchen features modern design, quality cabinetry, and a large kitchen bar with additional seating, perfect for entertaining or casual gatherings. Open concept, updated flooring and large casement windows flood the living, dining, kitchen, and primary bedroom with natural light while showcasing spectacular water and nature views. The home includes 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, highlighted by a spacious primary suite, and offers multiple indoor and outdoor living areas. Enjoy Florida living at its finest with two expansive lanais, one featuring a hot tub overlooking the Dora Canal, plus a large rear deck ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying evening sunsets and wildlife sightings. The outdoor space is truly special. The walk-through garden, large garden area, and surrounding preserve provide a tranquil, private setting with no rear neighbors-ever. This protected preserve ensures the land behind the home will remain pristine and undeveloped, offering frequent sightings of local wildlife, including turkey, deer, raccoon, armadillo, and birds. The famous Tarzan Oak Tree is located within the surrounding preserve, adding to the unique charm and character of the property. Additional features include: Laundry room with ample storage for gardening tools and freezer Large storage shed Abundant parking Whole-house water purification system New refrigerator, dishwasher, and electric stove Home fully gutted and renovated approximately four years ago with new electrical, heat pump, paint, countertops, backsplashes, and flooring This home is being sold AS IS and offers an exceptional value with lot rent of just $639 per month, which includes water, sewer, and trash pickup. This is more than a home-it's a private waterfront sanctuary surrounded by nature, offering peace, beauty, and a lifestyle that is truly hard to replicate. There is simply nothing else like it. Schedule your private showing and experience this remarkable property for yourself.
