Understated elegance captures the feel of walking through the double front doors into this custom built, well-maintained, and beautifully updated Executive Home in the gated community of Savanna Pointe. Be one of the few who can daily enjoy nature’s ever changing panoramic beauty while looking across the expansive Payne’s Prairie at the misty mornings, rolling afternoon thunderclouds, and spectacular evening sunsets each shifting in color and splendor through the seasons. Conveniently located on Williston Rd, just west of I-75, you are surrounded by nature’s beauty but also 15 minutes from most locations in Gainesville.

The wet bar opens to the spacious living room featuring a gas fireplace with wall mounted Smart TV and sound system, remaining in the home, and allows one to imagine the lively conversations and relaxing movie nights ready to be had. The open floor plan provides a view into the Florida room with its wall of windows overlooking the serenity of Payne’s Prairie.

Opening the door to the back patio, one is attuned to the symphony of the calls of finches, swallow tailed kites, hawks, and sandhill cranes. All backyard and front yard hardscaping was reset in 2022 along with extensive landscaping renovations, including imported beach pebble beds and specimen plantings, providing mature garden beds and flowering perennials year-round for your enjoyment. Additionally, imported designer planters are filled with a variety of herbs ready to be cut and dried for your favorite dishes. Moving back indoors, enter the separate dining room which also offers views of the prairie and is large enough to easily seat a table of 10.

The split floor plan provides for a primary suite with large windows overlooking the prairie, and includes an amply sized bedroom, spacious open closet, and fully renovated bathroom (2019) with custom cabinetry and spa sized shower. The laundry room is connected to the primary bathroom and has a custom cedar closet and ample storage for necessities. The second and third bedrooms can be accessed through the living room, one of which is currently being used as a temporary home office. The second bathroom, also fully renovated in 2019, is well appointed for its function.
