One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to Lake Padgett Estates — a place where life slows down and every day feels like you’re on vacation. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home blends comfort, charm, and laid-back Florida living on a roomy .34-acre lot — and best of all, there’s no HOA or CDD. Inside, the split floor plan gives everyone their space, with both a formal living room and a family room centered around a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen has been completely updated with quartz counters, modern cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances, while all bathrooms have been beautifully refreshed. Additional upgrades include newer double-pane windows, a brand-new roof (Dec 2024), a 2016 HVAC system, wiring for a whole-house generator, and a new well pressure tank scheduled for installation. Step outside to a covered patio and private backyard — the perfect spot for morning coffee before you hit the lake or evening cookouts after a day on the water. Lake Padgett Estates spans roughly 775 acres and ties together about a dozen unique neighborhoods that share a love for the water. Residents enjoy four private lakes — three are ski-size — and five lakefront parks with boat ramps, picnic pavilions, grills, playgrounds, basketball, tennis, and pickleball courts, plus community horse stables. The parks are maintained by Pasco County and funded through property taxes (currently about $732 per year). For the water lover, Lake Padgett (approximately 200 acres) is the heart of it all. Cruise across to Tiki Cove, a favorite local hangout with live music, lakeside events, and waterfront fun, or boat over to Hungry Harry’s BBQ — a Land O’ Lakes landmark serving ribs and smoked favorites for more than 40 years — both just minutes away by boat. On any given day, you might see a seaplane glide in for lunch or families out enjoying the sunshine and an impromptu show on the water. Throughout the year, the Lake Padgett Civic Association brings neighbors together for events like the Christmas Boat Parade, the Golf Cart Christmas Parade, and the ever-popular Witches Paddle on Halloween to name a few. Membership is voluntary, just $25 a year, and well worth it for the sense of community and fun it brings. Whether you’re boating, skiing, paddleboarding, jet skiing, or simply soaking in the sunsets, this home puts the lake lifestyle within reach — without the lakefront cost. Here, neighbors wave from their boats, the water’s always calling, and life just feels right.
