Under contract-accepting backup offers. If you’ve been waiting for a home with presence — the kind you just don’t see anymore — this is it. Tucked inside River Wilderness Golf & Country Club, this classic estate sits on over half an acre (.51) with sweeping golf course and pond views that immediately capture your attention the moment you walk through the front door. The setting alone is special — wide open skies, mature oaks, and that peaceful feeling you only get in an established community. This home was built for entertaining in a big way. The 40-foot-long pool is a showstopper. Three sets of fully pocketing sliders (family room, living room, and primary suite) open completely, blending indoor and outdoor living in that true Florida style. Picture holidays, dinner parties, and long weekends by the pool with the golf course as your backdrop. The layout is generous and thoughtful: *Dedicated office with private access to the owner’s suite *Two large guest bedrooms with a shared full bath *Formal living and dining rooms for a touch of elegance *An oversized primary bedroom with a huge walk-in closet and spacious bath featuring a soaking tub, dual vanities and a private water closet *A big family room with built-ins and another wall of sliders *Kitchen with breakfast nook, pass-through window to the pool, and wet bar Storage? There’s plenty — multiple interior closets, an entire wall of closets in the oversized garage, and attic flooring for even more space. And yes — the golf cart is included. The curb appeal is undeniable with a circular driveway and mature landscaping that gives the home that grand, established feel you just can’t recreate in newer neighborhoods. River Wilderness is known for its winding, tree-lined streets, neighbors out walking dogs, biking, and enjoying the outdoors. Club membership is optional, and amenities include golf, pickleball, tennis, fitness center, pool, and social events. There’s even a community boat ramp with direct access to the Manatee River, plus boat and RV storage. Location is a major bonus — positioned between St. Pete and Sarasota with two airports about 45 minutes away, close to hospitals, and just minutes from Ft. Hamer Park, the new bridge into Lakewood Ranch, dining, and shopping. This isn’t a cookie-cutter home. It’s a property with scale, character, and the kind of lot that’s getting harder and harder to find. With the right updates, it could be absolutely spectacular. If you’ve been searching for space, views, and long-term potential in River Wilderness — this one deserves a look. No pickup trucks in driveway overnight in RW. Buyer to verify sf.
