NOT JUST A HOME. A HOMESTEAD. Some properties are built. Others are crafted. Tucked away on six acres in Groveland, this one-of-a-kind Florida retreat has a story you simply won’t find in a typical home. Hand-built by the craftsman owner using wood harvested from the very land it sits on, this remarkable home showcases concrete and block footings, cypress construction/ framing, and pine wood floors. The result is a home rich in character, craftsmanship, and authenticity; Being sold by the only person whose ever owned it. This isn’t something you can simply order from a builder’s catalog. It’s the kind of place you have to experience to truly appreciate.

A beautiful green metal roof, natural (cypress) wood exterior, and two expansive covered porches set the tone before you even step inside. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom layout offers a cozy yet spacious atmosphere, with a huge open-concept living room and kitchen that creates an inviting place to gather, entertain, or simply enjoy the slower pace of country living. You’ll also find a loft upstairs, a walk-in closet, and a dedicated interior laundry room, bringing everyday practicality to this distinctive retreat.

Upstairs, the beautiful loft with more than 200 square feet of additional space adds another dimension to the home. Whether you envision another bedroom, creative studio, reading retreat, or a quiet place to unwind, the possibilities are as unique as the property itself. Step outside onto the loft’s private elevated deck and take in the peaceful surroundings, mature trees, and open countryside.

Outside is where the homestead lifestyle truly comes alive. Six acres provide a beautiful combination of wide-open grassy spaces and majestic oak trees draped in Spanish moss. Enjoy your morning coffee on one of the home’s two covered porches, spend afternoons exploring the land, or watch the evening light settle over your own slice of Florida countryside. With NO HOA, there’s room to imagine a lifestyle beyond the ordinary, whether that means gardening, outdoor recreation, extra storage for your toys, or simply enjoying the space and privacy that acreage provides.

Located in Groveland, with Clermont, Minneola, and Mascotte all within the surrounding area, this property offers a peaceful rural setting while keeping everyday conveniences and commutes within reach.

Six acres. No HOA. Handcrafted character that cannot be duplicated. This is more than a place to live. It’s a place to put down roots, create something of your own, and embrace a different way of life. Come experience the craftsmanship, the land, and the story for yourself. Some homes have features. This one has a legacy.
