One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to Your Dream Equestrian Estate in the Heart of Apopka! Nestled on nearly 10 acres of serene beauty, this custom-built, meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath, two-story home offers the perfect blend of elegance, privacy, and functionality. As you approach via the long, tree-lined driveway, you'll immediately appreciate the tranquility and security of this stunning property. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features formal living and dining rooms, as well as a chef's kitchen that will impress even the most discerning cooks. The kitchen boasts rich KraftMaid cabinetry, a tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, bar seating for five, and an island with a granite countertop, perfect for meal prep. A built-in wine rack and wine fridge elevate the space, making it ideal for entertaining. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room, where a wood-burning fireplace with a breathtaking Victorian-inspired mahogany mantle serves as the focal point. Soaring tray ceilings, light neutral walls, French doors with glass transoms, and an abundance of windows invite natural light throughout, creating an airy, welcoming ambiance. Step outside to the massive screened-in, tiled lanai, where you can unwind while taking in the picturesque views of the expansive backyard, adorned with mature trees and native flora and fauna. The owner's suite is a private haven, featuring a designer-tiled walk-in shower, a Roman-style Jacuzzi tub, and a granite vanity with an elegant decorative mirror. There's even space for a makeup vanity, offering both convenience and luxury. Additional features on the main floor include a separate office with a bay window providing tranquil views of the front landscape and decorative fountain, two half baths, and an interior laundry room. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms with durable bamboo flooring, one of which is a junior owner's suite--perfect for multigenerational living or pampering your guests. This home is packed with premium upgrades, including a stately Honduras mahogany 8-foot entry door, a tile roof, two wrought-iron balconies, energy-efficient double-glazed windows, crown molding, tray ceilings, plantation shutters, and a safe room for added peace of mind. As a past functional equestrian estate, the property features a two-stall barn with water (in need of TLC), a riding/training ring, a hot water wash-down area by the garage, a three-car garage, a private automated gate, landscape lighting, a six-zone sprinkler system, and an automatic Generac generator to power essential systems during outages. Perhaps best of all, this property is not in an HOA, so there are no burdensome rules or restrictions. While this home offers unparalleled peace and serenity, it's just minutes from Apopka's restaurants, shopping, parks, and major highways like the 429, providing easy access to downtown Orlando and world-famous attractions. This one-of-a-kind property truly has it all. Don't miss the chance to make this spectacular estate your own. Schedule your private showing today!
