PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

This striking log cabin retreat is a rare find in rural Brooksville! Tucked away on 2.5 acres just off Spring Lake Highway, this beauty features a classic 2-story gabled roof design. Birds flit between the leafy canopy created by the numerous trees, including the shady oaks lining the driveway. This beauty has been lovingly maintained, with new HVAC units and whole-house HVAC filtration installed on both handlers in 2022. A bench swing beckons from the long, covered front porch, inviting you to come and sit a spell with a pitcher of lemonade. Inside, exposed timber beams and log walls create a rustic ambience with a nod to Adirondack styling. Sunlight streams through large windows in the living room, providing an abundance of natural lighting. Real and laminate wood flooring in the living areas is complemented by the soaring vaulted ceilings, which create volume in the already-generous floor plan. The eat-in kitchen is warm and welcoming with real wood cabinets, a breakfast bar, and a comfy bay window seat overlooking the yard. Beyond the expansive living, dining, and family rooms, there’s plenty of flex space in the floor plan. Downstairs, a bonus room would make an excellent 4th bedroom or playroom, while a loft upstairs just off the primary bedroom could be a lounge or home office. Along with a large utility/laundry room with a sink, freezer, and storage on the main floor, there’s a full bedroom and bathroom for ease and convenience. The primary bedroom suite awaits above the living room, a spacious and private respite after a long day. Soak your stress away in the primary bathroom, which has a jetted tub and shower combo, dual sink vanities, and an enormous 8’x10’ walk-in closet. A staircase in the family room leads up to the other guest bedroom. Along with another walk-in closet, this room has an ensuite bathroom with a new BCI acrylic bath system with fixtures installed in 2023. A screened porch stretches along the rear of the house with ceiling fans to stir the breeze in warmer months and a wet bar where you can mix drinks to keep everyone cool. Enjoy sweeping views of the yard and property; from the right spot, you can catch a glimpse of the small pond that occupies a part of the southeast corner of the lot. A pole barn offers covered parking space for multiple vehicles, and there’s tons of open space to park your RV, boat, or other recreational vehicles. If there’s not enough room for storage in the pole barn, not to worry - there’s a 19’x21’ walk-out basement accessed via the back of the house where you can stow your belongings. Along with a filtration system, there’s also a water softener for the well. Minutes away from I-75, Tampa and all of its amenities are a short drive south; Orlando and the magical theme parks there are less than 2 hours to the east. Centrally located between downtown Brooksville and downtown Dade City, you’ll have endless options to choose from when it comes to charming mom-and-pop shops and restaurants. Avid outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to all kinds of natural Florida beauty: 10 minutes to the Withlacoochee State Forest, 25 minutes to beaches and the Gulf of Mexico, and 25 minutes to either the Richloam or the Citrus Wildlife Management Areas. Private tours are available. Your search for country living ends here at this truly one-of-a-kind cabin home!
