The expansive covered rear porch serves as an extension of the home's living space, creating the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, family celebrations, or simply unwinding while overlooking the picturesque grounds. Beyond the backyard, neighboring horses grazing peacefully along the rear property line enhance the property's serene country setting. Designed for those who love spending time outdoors, this estate offers countless opportunities to embrace the Florida lifestyle. The charming playhouse, which also serves beautifully as a she shed, provides endless possibilities as a children's retreat, hobby room, gardening studio, or quiet escape. An additional storage building can easily accommodate workshop space, equipment storage, or future creative projects. For those dreaming of a true homestead lifestyle, the property also includes a charming chicken coop, allowing you to enjoy fresh eggs and embrace the simple pleasures of country living. The expansive acreage provides ample room for gardens, orchards, additional outbuildings, recreational vehicles, or even horses and other permitted animals under Open Rural zoning. After gardening, caring for animals, or spending the afternoon working outdoors, the convenient outdoor shower provides the perfect place to rinse off before heading inside. Every feature has been thoughtfully designed to support an active outdoor lifestyle while maintaining the home's inviting farmhouse character. Outdoor entertaining is effortless thanks to the oversized carport featuring a dedicated grilling preparation area complete with a sink, allowing family barbecues and gatherings to flow seamlessly. Two dedicated RV sites with full electric, water, and sewer hookups offer exceptional accommodations for recreational vehicles or visiting guests, making weekend getaways and extended family visits incredibly convenient. The fully fenced property provides both security and peace of mind while creating an ideal environment for children and pets to safely enjoy the outdoors. Wide-open green space offers endless possibilities for backyard games, family gatherings, gardening, future additions, or simply enjoying the beauty and privacy that nearly four acres provide. Adding even greater value are the extensive improvements completed by the current owners. The home features a durable metal roof, hurricane shutters, and a transferable security system for peace of mind. Recent upgrades include beautifully renovated bathrooms, new wood flooring, fresh interior paint, recessed lighting, updated kitchen and laundry countertops, a new HVAC system, new well pump, a newly completed driveway, decorative fencing with impressive stone columns, flagstone front and rear porches, professional landscaping, a welcoming fire pit gathering area, and a septic system replaced in 2023. These thoughtful improvements allow the next owner to simply move in and begin enjoying everything this extraordinary property has to offer. Open Rural zoning provides remarkable flexibility rarely found this close to everyday conveniences. Whether your vision includes gardening, raising chickens, keeping animals, creating additional workshop space, parking recreational vehicles, or simply enjoying the privacy and freedom that acreage provides, this property offers the opportunity to create the lifestyle you've always imagined. Beyond the property itself, the location is equally exceptional. Situated in the highly desirable World Golf Village area, you'll enjoy quick access to shopping, restaurants, golf courses, parks, healthcare, Interstate 95, historic downtown St. Augustine, Jacksonville, and the beautiful Atlantic beaches while still returning home each day to the peaceful serenity of your own private country retreat. This is far more than a beautiful home--it is a place where birthdays are celebrated beneath the stars, children have room to explore, evenings are spent around the fire pit, fresh vegetables are gathered from the garden, mornings begin on the porch listening to birdsong, and family traditions are built for generations to come. It offers privacy without isolation, modern updates without sacrificing character, and room to grow while remaining connected to everything that makes St. Johns County one of Florida's most sought-after places to live. Rarely does a property combine nearly four fully fenced acres, timeless modern farmhouse style, exceptional updates, flexible outdoor living, investment potential, and an unbeatable location so seamlessly. Whether you're dreaming of creating a family compound, embracing a quieter lifestyle, starting your own hobby farm, or simply finding a forever home surrounded by nature, this remarkable estate offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. Welcome home.
