$530,000 - 8841 Sw 194th Court, DUNNELLON

You have barely crossed the threshold when your line of sight runs straight through to the back of the home, where the infinity pool reaches its edge and simply lets go, and the Rainbow Springs Fairway carries your eyes out and out, until green is all there is. Now imagine it at first light, the sunrise arrives the way mornings ought to, slowly and then generously, laying golden tones across the pool & patio before it touches anything else. You are there with your coffee, or your tea, in that soft hour before the day asks anything of you. The pool holds the reflection of the light hues of the morning sky. The Fairway wakes with neighbors walking their furry loved ones & cyclists taking advantage of the cool air before the Florida heat warms up the day. This is a place where life slows down and most spend every free moment along the banks of one of North Florida’s most coveted waterways, the Rainbow River. Inside, the home has been cared for with a steadiness you can feel. New carpet underfoot and tile throughout most of the home, granite in the kitchen and quartz countertops in the bathrooms. This 4/2/2 home has a nice spacious open floor plan, with the primary bedroom and two guest rooms nicely spaced apart from each other, and a surprisingly large guest suite to the back. With a newer roof and solar panels that were installed in 2024, this should give you peace of mind that over time this is one less thing to worry about, opening up more time to live and play and enjoy the lifestyle in Rainbow Springs. Please note that the solar panels are leased, information will be provided upon request. If you are not familiar with the community, the private river park offers residents year-round access to the Rainbow River, where the water runs crystal-clear and a constant 72 degrees, in July and in January alike. Two picnic pavilions wait in the shade, and a paddleboard and kayak launch is ready whenever you are. Dunnellon is a small Florida town with a large sense of place. Historic downtown offers local restaurants, antique shops, and a walkable, small-town feel, and life here generally takes on its rhythm from the springs, the woods, and the water. Rainbow Springs State Park and KP Hole Park has tubing, kayaking, and snorkeling on the river. Residents also enjoy miles and miles of biking along the Withlacoochee State Trail and the Cross Florida Greenway, which are all close at hand. If you need to escape and get out, Ocala, Crystal River, Inverness and Gainesville are under an hour, and then Tampa and Orlando theme parks, beaches and airports are within about 1.5-2 hours depending on your destination. Come for the river, and stay for the lifestyle.
