Walkabout on 9 parklike acres! Special Occasions

Summary:
Plan a reunion or event and enjoy the privacy on over 9 acres with a pool, pasture, pond, forever views and room to bring the whole family and friends. This home feels like you are so far away yet only 4 miles to Publix and Bannerman Crossings and a beautiful ride down Centerville to downtown or FSU and FAMU in about 25 minutes. Northeast school zones. This home is relaxing as it gets-worry free with a whole house generator and comes with a well stocked kitchen.

The Space:
Casa de Sueños: This has been my family home since 2005. As a real estate broker having seen plenty of homes in the previous 15 years to know that I wanted to buy this property. Raised 3 girls and a few dogs along the way. It is a special property with lots of acreage to spread out and have the ultimate privacy. There are no HOA's or other restrictions which means we can shoot skeet or pistol practice, enjoy tremendous fireworks displays, and entertain dozens of people at a time. My daughter was married here and more than 100 people had a great time. The home has undergone numerous renovations over the years the last one being in 2020 to the present. There is a whole house generator which runs the entire house and could run for days given enough propane. The home is air condition by a pair of 2.5 ton newer upper and lower level AC systems with ultraviolet light on the return. I also use a .003 micron air purifier to enhance the air quality. You will spending 1/3 of the time in one of the beds and so that is why I carefully selected from the best mattresses on the market. I believe you should get a great night sleep. The owner bedroom upstairs has a king-sized Puffy Hybrid Deluxe and it is heavenly. One of the other bedrooms has a Nectar. You'll hopefully see the whole diaspora of wildlife while you are here--birds, deer, beaver, and even otters! There also could be a gator, snake or lizard so please don't let your kids and pets run off alone. We have a Rinnai hot water system which means you can use all the hot water need and adjust the temperature. We use satellite internet here and is 150mps. You may get buffering now and then. I have had a chance to test the buffering by streaming on all 5 televisions, my laptop and phone and did not experience any buffer issues. These are smart TV's so you should use your logins and remember to sign out of them before you leave. You can also cast content from your phone to a TV of your choice. The kitchen has just about every imaginable utensil or dish you might need for everyday use, plastic by the pool and silver rimmed china for a special event. The refrigerator is a '20 Cafe Deluxe-Bake a cake or eat a lobster-grill, steam or fry. Just bring the food and special spices. Plan a wedding or reunion and take lots of pictures.

Guest Access:
circular drive in front. Best practice is to pull off the driveway for others to roll in and park

The Neighborhood:
This is Exurbia. The border line between rural and urban fringe. We are only 4 miles from Publix and Bannerman crossings, 15 minutes to a hospital down Centerville Road, can drive to Georgia and Thomasville on a dirt road that crosses the state line--walk a paved 5K across the street alongside Centerville and Pisgah Church. It is very quiet here.

Interaction with Guests:
I have a small book with some who, what and where's in the kitchen. I will call before I come by as we include maintaining the grounds including grass and the pool depending on the weather, need and the season.

Fun Family Weekend!!
We had a fun family get together at this Tallahassee retreat. Steve was a great host, promptly responding to our inquiries and accommodating our group’s requests. We hosted a dinner for 15 people easily in the large well appointed kitchen and dining area and accommodated five different families for the weekend. The property was so beautiful and peaceful, we would highly recommend!!
