Acreage, a heated pool, no HOA, no through traffic, packed with updates, and room for animals—this is the Florida homestead you've been searching for. This custom-built 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on 2.14 acres (two adjoining 1.07-acre parcels) in the desirable DeRosa Village community just north of downtown Crystal River—home to world-renowned Three Sisters Springs and Kings Bay. The home offers a modern open-concept layout complemented by a split-bedroom design. The open kitchen features a breakfast bar, electric cooktop, premium cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and built-in oven and microwave. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the expansive living area, highlighted by a stacked stone veneer fireplace with a custom mantel. Indoor and outdoor living blend beautifully with the large, dual–ceiling fan–cooled lanai overlooking the screen-enclosed, kidney-shaped heated in-ground pool—ideal for gatherings and everyday relaxation. The primary bedroom connects through French doors to a spacious private bath with dual sinks, a large walk-in shower, and his-and-her walk-in closets with custom closet systems. An extra-wide hallway leads to the secondary bedrooms, each offering folding barn-style closet doors and custom storage; one closet has even been converted into a clever “cloffice” for a space-saving home office. A large laundry room with abundant storage leads to the 483-sq-ft under-air flex space—perfect for a mudroom, gym, hobby room, office, or conversion back to a garage. Concrete walkways and pads connect nearly every corner of the property, leading you to the 30' x 40' partially foam-insulated metal building with two overhead garage doors, the 24' x 36' aluminum carport with 14-ft clearance (ideal for RV or boat parking), and the 12' x 16' utility shed—each equipped with electric. Additional exterior features include a concrete block chicken coop with electric and water, two fire pits, a professionally installed playground, and a four-zone Rain Bird irrigation system. The adjoining vacant parcel is already set up with three water spigots, irrigation drip line, raised planting beds, and established blueberry bushes—ready-made garden and homestead space. The home also includes a generator inlet for backup power and a security system with 8 cameras for added peace of mind. Major updates include new pool coping and resurfacing (2025), Renewal by Andersen windows (2022), garage-to-flex-space conversion (2022), added blown-in attic insulation (2022), new HVAC (2021), and a new roof (2020). The property is located in preferred Flood Zone X, where no flood insurance is required. Just minutes from the future Citrus Avenue exit of the Suncoast Expressway (estimated completion Q4 2026–Q4 2027). Once completed, this connection will place the property within about an hour of most destinations throughout the Tampa Bay metro. Properties offering this degree of upgrades, functionality, acreage, and location rarely become available. ***Showings by Appointment Only***
