Looking for a GATED POOL HOME with stunning stone fountains, an enormous pole barn, and 3.5 private acres in Lake Butler? This extraordinary estate feels less like a home and more like a secluded retreat tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees. From the moment you arrive through the gated entrance, the property offers a sense of peace, privacy, and timeless character. A stone-lined walkway leads to a dramatic entry framed by rustic stonework and rich wood doors, creating a warm and unforgettable first impression. Inside, the breathtaking great room welcomes you with soaring ceilings, expansive open living spaces, and a striking stone waterfall feature. Natural light pours in from every direction, highlighting the home’s architectural details and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Oversized glass doors open to the newly rescreened lanai featuring a sparkling pool and jacuzzi — the perfect setting for entertaining or simply relaxing in the quiet beauty of the property. Thoughtfully designed, the split floor plan offers two guest bedrooms and a full bath tucked privately to the left of the home, while an elegant dining room flows effortlessly into the kitchen on the right. The kitchen blends warmth, character, and functionality with wood cabinetry, generous prep space, extensive storage, and a large breakfast bar overlooking the main living area. Wood-lined vaulted ceilings, a dramatic stone fireplace, and a versatile flex space create an inviting rustic-inspired atmosphere unlike anything else on the market. The spacious primary suite offers privacy and comfort with peaceful views of the surrounding property. The en-suite bath features dual vanities, an updated walk-in shower, and plenty of room to unwind. Outside, the property transforms into a true resort-style escape.
