ENCHANTMENT IN MISTY CREEK – the opportunity for a “one in a million” property like this rarely comes on the market. Offering a lifestyle like that of a high-end resort and spa. Designed by a master gardener with ease of maintenance in mind, the backyard looks like something straight out of Selby Gardens. Nature lovers will enjoy seeing owls, deer, hawks, fish, and other wildlife daily. Orchids and a wide variety of flora, including some rare and collectible plants abound. The waterfall and pond can be observed and heard from vantage points throughout the home. Multiple “secret garden” spaces throughout the property give you the opportunity to reflect and simply enjoy nature. The outdoor lighting system is professionally designed to enhance the beauty of the property, especially the deck area in back that turns into your own private oasis. You're going to love the casual, contemporary design with mid-century elements. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath oversized 2-car garage pool home is nestled in The Preserve at Misty Creek. Set on .63 of an acre and tucked away within a CUL-DE-SAC at the coveted north end of Misty Creek, this home is, arguably, one of the best lots in all of Misty Creek and is in the X FLOOD ZONE, NO FLOOD INSURANCE REQUIRED. The main living areas and primary suite are light & bright. Pocket sliding glass doors open to the screened lanai & paver pool deck. There’s a covered seating area on the lanai that essentially brings the outdoors in and extends your living space.

The Preserve at Misty Creek is a gated community of 302 single-family homes. It's an exciting time in Misty Creek as the Misty Creek Country Club is currently closed for renovations and the new improved club is expected to open in November 2025!
