Discover a one-of-a-kind waterfront sanctuary perfectly positioned on a large corner lot with water on three sides and approximately 390 feet of pristine, spring-fed water frontage. Located on it's own manatee sanctuary--closed to pedestrians for 4 1/2 months of the year--this property offers unparalleled privacy and the rare opportunity to enjoy your own private manatee viewings right from home. Just minutes to world-famous Three Sisters Springs and the Gulf of Mexico, this extraordinary setting allows you to live among manatees, vibrant fish, and breathtaking wildlife.
A concrete circular driveway and a beautifully crafted wrought-iron fence welcome you home, surrounded by lush landscaping and abundant fruit trees including mango, lemon, lime, banana, mulberry, avocado, and olive trees.
Step inside through an enchanting atrium featuring decorative arched iron gates, tiled flooring, a screened roof, and garden beds framed by sliding glass doors. Enter the home through double doors into an eclectic interior rich with character--handpicked tile throughout, imported doors and windows from Morocco, stone accent walls, arched openings, and jeweled light fixtures. The main living room offers triple sliders opening to a bright Florida room surrounded by windows and dual exterior doors.
The kitchen is a true centerpiece with exposed brick walls, stainless steel cabinet organizers, a decorative farmhouse sink overlooking the water, gas cooktop, range hood, and double ovens. A dining area just off the kitchen includes a slider to the waterfront backyard. Through a gracious archway, the family room impresses with hand-painted murals, imported windows, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace.
The split layout features two guest bedrooms with a shared Jack-and-Jill bath. The primary suite is a retreat of its own with stone and brick accents, a stunning ensuite with walk-in tiled shower, handmade art details, separate toilet room, double sinks, washer/dryer hookups, and a dreamy walk-in closet with electric clothing racks.
Outdoor living is exceptional: a charming gazebo over a paver patio, a scenic walkway leading to a spacious Trex observation deck--the perfect place to enjoy the famous "Manatee Highway." Waterfront amenities include a seawall surrounding the property, a covered boat lift with 10k-lb capacity, and a dual jet ski lift.
This rare Crystal River masterpiece blends unmatched natural beauty with artistic design and exceptional water access--truly a home like no other.
