About this home

Welcome to the Tree House on the canal leading to the Chain of Lakes, set on 1.37 acres on private Big Pine Island, an exclusive island community with only 13 homes. Step outside into your own nature-filled retreat. This property is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, featuring a private boat dock and plenty of space for gatherings, from weddings to graduation parties, all with a peaceful waterfront backdrop. Car enthusiasts and entertainers alike will appreciate the 4-car detached garage and additional 2-car attached garage. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets over the canal each evening. Beyond the canal, a 57-acre HOA-owned wooded wetlands parcel ensures lasting privacy and preserves the natural view. This three-story home offers outdoor living on every level, including a first-floor covered porch, a second-floor wraparound balcony, and a third-floor balcony, allowing you to enjoy the surrounding beauty from every vantage point. Inside, the first floor features a private mother-in-law suite complete with a new mini-split system, full bathroom, and kitchenette. While not currently included in the home's heated and cooled square footage, this approximately 380-square-foot space could be incorporated into the total living area with a few modifications. On the second floor, there is an additional 500 square feet that is also not included in the heated and cooled living area, providing even more usable space. The second and third floors showcase stunning vaulted pine ceilings, pine flooring, and an abundance of windows that fill the open layout with natural light while capturing panoramic views. The windows were strategically placed for energy efficiency and temperature control. A freestanding wood-burning stove with a central chimney serves as a striking focal point and conversation starter while warming the entire home in minutes. The primary bedroom is located on the second floor and features an en suite bath with granite countertops. Two additional bedrooms are located on the third floor. All bedrooms offer spacious walk-in closets, and all bathrooms have been remodeled. Even with the spiral staircase, there's no need to worry about moving furniture upstairs. The home was thoughtfully designed with a built-in winch system that makes transporting furniture between floors easy. For buyers who prefer a traditional staircase, the seller is willing to offer a negotiable credit toward replacement, and the home was designed with space available for a platform-style staircase. Recent upgrades include a commercial-grade standing seam metal roof (2023), updated electrical panels, a new AC system (2024), new well pump (2026), upgraded irrigation, and a rebuilt deck with new stairs and a dock finished with Trex decking for long-term durability. Built with strength and longevity in mind, this home features a solid block first floor supported by a steel beam structure, along with hurricane preparedness features such as generator hookups in the detached garage and emergency lighting throughout. The structural components are seamlessly integrated with warm wood accents, blending durability with design. In addition to your private dock, the property includes access to an HOA community boat launch. Why live in a box when you can live in this one-of-a-kind tree house? Built to last and designed for endless enjoyment, this waterfront retreat offers a lifestyle unlike anything else on the market.
