Experience the space and freedom of country living on this unique double-lot property tucked away on a quiet dead-end street in rural DeSoto County. Backed by an undeveloped protected preserve, this home offers lasting privacy and natural views — with no HOA and no neighbors behind you. The same family has called this property home for over 30 years, a testament to the peace and lifestyle it provides.
The main residence, placed on the land in 2005, features thoughtful upgrades throughout — including updated flooring, upgraded lighting with dimmer switches, lever-style hardware, and upgraded sinks, faucets, toilets, and shower heads with handheld wands. The kitchen is well-equipped with double ovens, a ceramic cooktop, refrigerator with ice and water, dishwasher, and 2-tier pull-out cabinet shelving. Inside laundry hookups add everyday convenience (washer and dryer not included).
Major systems have been carefully maintained: central AC installed in 2016 with a 10-year warranty, roof replaced February 2018, and main house water tank replaced around 2019. Additional comfort features include a programmable thermostat with humidistat, whole-house water filtration, peroxide-cleaned hot water tanks, updated ceiling fans with remotes, and hardwired smoke detectors.
Step outside to enjoy a new front deck and a rear deck/oasis — both with lighting — plus a cement pad ideal for a BBQ or hot tub. Awnings provide storm protection and help keep the interior cool, while established front garden areas add welcoming curb appeal.
The 2023 guest cottage offers a separate full bath and laundry access — ideal for guests, extended family, or a private workspace. Three garage spaces provide room for vehicles, a workshop, or additional storage, all with exterior motion-sensor lighting. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet, and bathrooms feature walk-in showers with grab bars for added accessibility. High-speed internet, TV, and phone service are available.
All of this sits less than a mile from Peace River access and park, about five miles to I-75, groceries, and restaurants, and roughly 20 minutes to Port Charlotte Beach complex — with nearby walking trails and easy access to Charlotte County amenities.
Optional turn-key furnishings may be available separately. Properties like this — with the land, the privacy, and the flexibility — are becoming increasingly rare. Schedule your showing today.
