Exceptional custom pool home designed for elevated Florida living, offering a rare combination of privacy, flexibility, and refined indoor-outdoor space. Tucked away in Ridge Manor, just north of Dade City, the home enjoys a quieter, more private setting with the freedom that comes from space and fewer restrictions—while still maintaining convenient access to major routes and nearby towns. Set on a generous lot just under a quarter acre, the property backs to conservation with no rear neighbors and showcases tranquil pond views dotted with lily pads, creating an almost Monet-like backdrop and a true sense of serenity. The outdoor living space is exceptional, featuring a heated saltwater pool and spa, pavered lanai, covered and tiled dining area, and disappearing sliding glass doors that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living—ideal for both entertaining and everyday relaxation. Inside, the home impresses with soaring cathedral ceilings, crown molding, recessed can lighting, 8-foot doors, and rich engineered hardwood floors throughout the main living areas. The open layout is anchored by a beautifully appointed kitchen with custom cabinetry and ample storage, complemented by an adjacent wet bar with custom cabinets and a wine refrigerator—perfect for hosting. A dedicated pool bath adds convenience, while custom window treatments and built-in closet systems elevate both form and function. The living room is anchored by a classic wood-burning fireplace that adds warmth and character, creating a comfortable focal point for everyday living and entertaining. Additional highlights include a three-zone HVAC system, whole-house ventilation exhaust system, instant hot water, water softener, in-wall pest system, and an oversized two-car garage with built-in cabinetry and workspace. Recent upgrades include a 2022 roof and a 2018 AC system. Select furnishings convey, including the kitchen table, barstools, and artwork in the dining and living rooms. This is not an ordinary home—it’s a thoughtfully designed, feature-rich custom pool property that lives as beautifully as it looks and must be experienced in person.
