The primary residence, a refined pool home built in 2007, sprawls over 2,893 square feet. It features four bedrooms, one bonus room, 3.5 bathrooms, and a 3-car garage. The heart of this home is the solar-heated pool, visible through expansive pocketing sliding doors, inviting the outside in. The interior boasts tray and coffered ceilings, a warm fireplace, and a spacious kitchen adorned with granite countertops and wood cabinets, including two refrigerators and a new washer and dryer. The bonus room, versatile in its use, is currently an extra bedroom. A short walk through the lush gardens leads to the second home, a charming 1,752-square-foot abode with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a garage. This house, featuring practical terrazzo flooring and essential appliances, serves perfectly as a guest house or an additional rental opportunity. The property's commercial aspect shines with two expansive greenhouses covering 8,640 square feet and a 4,800-square-foot shade house, supported by a 5,000-gallon reverse osmosis water filtration system. The "OPEN USE" zoning amplifies its potential, making it ideal for a multi-generational estate or diverse business ventures. Situated in a region known for its scenic beauty yet proven to be resilient against flooding, this estate offers an unparalleled lifestyle opportunity. The option for furnished spaces adds to its allure.
