Under Construction. Five private acres. No HOA. A Camlin Custom Homes estate rising now, with time left to make it entirely your own. Minutes from Lakewood Ranch yet worlds apart, this new-construction residence pairs the freedom of country living with the refinement of a true custom build. A dramatic two-story great room anchored by a gas fireplace sets the tone, with vaulted ceilings, wood and tile flooring, and solid wood cabinetry throughout. The main-level owner's retreat is a private sanctuary, while six bedrooms and four and a half baths include a fully attached one-bedroom, one-bath guest suite with 735 square feet of its own. Outdoors, the estate becomes a private resort: a heated pool and spa, a full outdoor kitchen, a pool bath, and front and rear porches overlooking a tranquil pond and open acreage zoned for horses. Block, HardiPlank, and stucco construction, a metal and shingle roof, an oversized side-entry three-car garage, and Flood Zone X offer lasting peace of mind. Already well underway, the home still invites you to choose appliances, cabinetry, countertops, lighting, and finishes, so you skip years of waiting without giving up the vision. Served by Tatum Ridge Elementary, McIntosh Middle, and Booker High. Rare acreage. Rarer freedom. Schedule your private tour.
