A truly extraordinary Florida sanctuary in The Hammocks! Tucked away in Spicewood, this special 3BR/2.5BA two-story home has been lovingly maintained and is surrounded by an exceptional landscape featuring 150+ species of Florida native plants. Soaring ceilings, a double-sided fireplace, tile & wood floors, and an inviting kitchen overlooking the nature reserve create a warm and welcoming interior. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features an adjoining private office, oversized custom-built closet, large bath, and open balcony overlooking the sanctuary. A second bedroom and full bath are also upstairs, while the third bedroom and half bath are conveniently located downstairs. Custom Hunter Douglas top-down/bottom-up blinds throughout. The gated yard feels like a private botanical preserve, with winding shell & pea-gravel paths bordered by hand-placed Miami oolite limestone, mature trees, orchids, flowering plants & native vegetation. The established landscape thrives without routine irrigation, pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. Backing to a greenbelt provides exceptional privacy and tranquility. Two-car garage and in-door laundry room. Upgrades include a 2018 roof & A/C; 2020 impact windows/doors, spray-foam attic insulation, A/C ductwork & electrical panel. Flood Zone X! This is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a unique wildlife oasis and living Florida ecosystem in this wonderful, vibrant community!
